Interestingly, there are more ways the specs are shared by both devices than we’ve first expected. Both also have their respective charms but the Zenfone 2 is expected to be more affordable than the Mi Note Pro (Zenfone 2 starts at $199 for the 2GB variant) so it’s understandable that Xiaomi’s phablet has more beef under its hood.

These are for the specs alone, but we’re yet to find out how they fare in real-life usage. Stay tuned.
