Well, it was that. But it was also about something else. Indeed, for us, the most interesting point of the event came in the question and answer session that followed Hugo Barra’s presentation. When asked how the Redmi 2 stood in comparison to the Lenovo A6000, which had a somewhat similar spec sheet, the Xiaomi Vice-President surprised us when he actually took a pot shot at the A6000, criticising its absence of a laminated display and its interface....

For starters, Motion Stills allows you to generate iOS’ “Live Photos” on Android where you essentially just need to take a regular picture and the app will automatically create a short GIF out of it....
