Redmi Note 2 AnTuTu Close To Onda V919 3G Core-M!

I can’t find a better image of this right now. But the top score is AnTuTu for the Redmi Note 2 with MIUI 7:

That’s 54,024.

The Core-M-based Onda V919 3G is 56,971.

If tablet makers want improved sales, they’ve got to at least achieve parity with phones.

Until then, buying a tablet is a downgrade.

And people understand that.

Next-day update:

It’s really 48,000-range. Why do I ever believe manufacturer AnTuTu claims?

Newly Announced Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Benchmark Scores Released

First Review: Onda V919 3G Core-M, Dual-OS Android Side

Over at IMP3Net [Google Translate].

The reviewer had to download Android 5.x from Onda’s site and manually flash the firmware with it. This created a dual-OS V919, with both Windows 10 and Android 5.x.

And, of course, all of that Material Design is basically erased under the cover of Onda ROM.

Here’s What You Need To Know About The New MIUI 7

Apple and Samsung better start being really afraid. A phone this powerful at such a low price is their impending doom. I don’t see how other companies — such as Sony, HTC, ZTE, etc — stand a chance at all.

By the time Xiaomi enters the American market, they’ll be able to beat all companies on specs and price.
