Check out xiaomi fb review by the guy who won the note.

It's not fair to compare with phone on another price point. 720p is decent enough if you don't look too close to the screen. I saw redmi and redmi note side by side, redmi note screen is much better in contrast and colour. If pixel is important to you, go for 1080p screen phones.

Xiaomi dun sell thru retails. Maybe Telco afew stocks but usually quite slow.

They only sell thru their official website. Make sure it is the official website as there are many resellers websites and fakes everywhere.

Rumored to be May but I guess demand in china is too good. Probably delayed till mid June I guess.

Sold my redmi....waiting for xiaomi note!

Not to "pour cold water" ... but here are some of my personal reviews of the Redmi Note after playing around with the China ver 2Gb Ram (friend's unit). The higher-end version which i assume will be the local model.

Comparing with Redmi,

Pros:
1. Bigger real estate in screen size. Its considerably bigger.

2. Better camera (though i honestly could not tell the diff in shots taken day/night shots)

3. Faster processor (but again .. it was not that significantly faster considering i did not try with intensive games)


Cons:
1. Screen resolution.
Putting the Redmi and its larger successor side by side running the same Youtube video .. the flaws of a lower dpi screen is apparent.
Despite reviews out there that claim the screen still looks gorgeous .. (and for RM999 it does) .. but somehow its not as crisp / sharp as the Redmi.

2. Not easy to use with 1 hand. I guess its my problem as I do now have experience with large phones.


Conclusion:
Trying the real thing really does put a little damper on my expectations of Redmi Note. To me, camera and screen is most important. Here the Note is kinda a let down in terms of screen resolution. Turns out the Achilles Heel is the screen. Sigh .. just wished they did not have to downgrade the screen to accommodate the larger size.

I sold off my iPhone5S, and started on the Redmi. To me, the Redmi is amazing (especially with the added SD card, dual SIM, good cam, crisp screen).

The Redmi Note is different and loses its appeal after the initial 10mins. I think you can find better alternatives with similar screen reso and size like the Redmi as most MIC phones are.

With Redmi, you can't.
