Xiaomi Mi-Two benchmarked, shows great performance early on

The Xiaomi Mi-Two was the first phone announced with Qualcomm's monster Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset. The phone is yet to launch officially (production started a week ago), but several Chinese sites have received an engineering sample and the reviews started coming in, featuring benchmarking the quad-Krait cores and Adreno 320 GPU.

Here is how the benchmarks results they got compare to the scores we got from the LG Optimus G, which claims the title of first S4 Pro phone to make it to market, plus two from our quad-core shootout.

Also, here's a taste of what the 8MP camera can do. You can read the source reviews for more samples and more info on the phone (they're in Chinese though).

Xiaomi will be selling the Mi-Two in China for now, but they've expressed interest in taking it worldwide. The Chinese price is RMB 1,999 ($315, €225), so if it makes it to the US and Europe on that price, it might pose some real competition to the established makers.
