- In terms of performance, the Q Stylus is powered by a Mediatek MT6750 chipset with an octa-core CPU, while the Redmi Note 2 utilizes the older Mediatek MT6795 Helio X10, which has a higher clock speed but less RAM in its base variant.

- The Q Stylus also has a larger 3300 mAh battery versus the 3060 mAh in the Redmi Note 2, providing potentially longer usage.
- In terms of software, the Q Stylus runs on Android 8.1 Oreo, while the Redmi Note 2 operates on the older Android 5.0 Lollipop with MIUI 7, resulting in a more updated software experience on the Q Stylus.
