The Redmi Note offers some impressive value for money. That's prompted the device to already be very popular in markets it isn't even available in yet, making other brands green in envy. China's Coolpad (that actually has a partnership with India's Spice) just rolled out a device -- the Coolpad Great God F2 -- that rivals the Redmi Note on the specs set, besides just being green in envy!
