Both smart phones have notable high specs while being in the same range, and choosing between them will certainly be a difficult job if we do not have any criteria. Therefore, let us take a quick look at both of them through these points:

Design

Xiaomi Mi4i weighs 130g and being 7.8mm thick, while Meizu M2 Note weighs 149g and being 8.7 mm thick. The differ in weight will not be felt much, but sure we can actually tell which one is thinner upon using.
Xiaomi has 5 inch display, and Meizu M2 Note has a 5.5’’ one. Though having a bigger screen, Meizu M2 Note has the same resolution of 1080 x 1920 p as Xiaomi’s screen, so its pixel density is lower. Therefore, Xiaomi Mi4i will certainly produce better quality images.

Performance

Xiaomi Mi4i sports a Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615, Octa core processor for its CPU and Adreno 405
As its GPU. Those chipset and GPU are considered better than M2 Note’s MT6753 and Mali-T720MP3. However, Meizu M2 Note comes with microSD support, while Mi4i does not. It will be a pain thinking of buying the Mi4i without any way to upgrade internal storage. Therefore, it is somehow a tie between the two.

Camera

The cameras on both devices have the resolution of 13MP, which is perfect for such prices. Especially, Meizu M2 Note can capture 4k video, which is a plus for recent devices. Xiaomi Mi4i lacks in the video feature though. However, both are all killers in the camera aspect.
In term of battery, both Meizu M2 Note and Xiaomi Mi4i boast more than 3000mAh battery. This means the two phones can perform perfectly all day without any worry about power.

Overall

Meizu M2 Note and Xiaomi Mi4i are strong, stunning devices for this year’s list of top smart phones. If you’d prefer power and speed, Xiaomi Mi4i is the deal. If you want some high quality camera for both photo shooting and video recording, Meizu M2 Note is for you. Xiaomi Mi4i and Meizu M2 Note are always smart choices.
