      This phone is better than the 6p in every respect except that it's a Xiaomi product. I can't see myself spending $800 on a phone, but if I were then I'd pretty seriously consider this.

          @abb: also no Android Pay if you unlock the bootloader, also the Flash process for Xiaomi isn't as simple you make out…have to request developer access etc etc. So its not in the realm of "Anyone" IMO.

        • adrianhughes1998 on 15/03/2017 - 18:31

          @abb: probably just as well too because there is a strong possibility with these retailer ROMs of malware. Prefer to flash stock Chinese ROM or if don't want traces of Chinese language and u want Google play, then flash global ROM.

        • adrianhughes1998 on 15/03/2017 - 18:34

          @SimpleRoger: it's All about price to performance ratio and honestly stock android is good but the amount people are ripped off locally on phone contacts is horrendous.

        • SimpleRoger on 15/03/2017 - 18:36

          @adrianhughes1998: what mobile plans are you on, if you buy a phone through mobile citi and use a reputable telco, you're only saving $80, or so, eg s7.

        • adrianhughes1998 on 15/03/2017 - 18:55

          @SimpleRoger: lol what. When a phone comes out it costs RRP or so for example, and the contact cost over so and so months is hundreds more. Give me an example mate

          @adrianhughes1998: Since when is LineageOS and other custom roms anything like stock android. Just cause it looks like it, doesn't mean it is it.

          No thanks to unofficial OS.

        • adrianhughes1998 on 16/03/2017 - 12:34

          @CLoSeR: LineageOS previously known as CyanogenMod. Stock Android is Google's take on Android, and it is compiled from AOSP. Every monthly security update can be contributed to by Google but ultimately the changes come thru on AOSP first.

          LineageOS and other custom ROM's too are built from AOSP. So basically google takes that source code and adds their google apps to it along with any other customisations for the device (double tap to wake, whatever else).

          So when you are referring to stock Android, yes these custom ROMS are a lot like what people call "stock Android".

      Actually a pretty big deal for a $750+ phone… Could be a compromise on a $250 China phone but not at this price point imo.

    • Telios on 15/03/2017 - 22:31

      • Binchicken22 on 15/03/2017 - 22:40
        +2

        Literally the only good thing about this phone compared to competing phones in this price bracket is it's thin bezels.

        It's got a bellow average camera, a buggy os (got my parents mi 5's from a recent deal and not impressed with muiu) and no band 28 LTE. Let alone the fact that you have a very limited/painful warranty.

        I just don't see the attraction, for half the price, maybe, but not at more then you can buy the latest Samsung or LG flagship.

          Oh I'm not onboard for a $800 Chinadroid either.

    I'd be careful buying any phone let alone a Xiaomi from DWI. I bought a nexus 5x from them and the charging port overheated and melted the plastic, but they won't cover it under warranty.

    • goober on 15/03/2017 - 14:56

      Did you try credit card charge back?

      • Joshman5k on 15/03/2017 - 15:55

        Good question. I think it was outside of the time period my credit card provider did charge backs. I'll double check.

      • C0mbat on 15/03/2017 - 17:20

        A credit card charge back is for fraud purposes only. You would have to claim that it wasn't you who conducted the transaction and that someone had compromised your card. That would be fraud by you.

        • macrocephalic on 15/03/2017 - 17:39
          +1

          https://www.fos.org.au/small-business/merchant-chargebacks/

          Some common reasons for chargebacks are:

          No cardholder authorisation
          Illegal transaction
          Forged signature on voucher
          Expired card
          Goods/services not supplied
          Transaction over floor limit without authorisation
          Processing offline when terminal working

          It could be argued that they didn't provide an adequate warranty - which is part of the Goods/Services supply.

          I performed a chargeback recently because an online store shipped the wrong products and then didn't reply to any of my requests to rectify - not even a return address to send products back to.

        • goober on 15/03/2017 - 18:50

          Each Credit Card has its own T&Cs. I have successfully charged back on items that didn't arrive within the time frame assuming they were lost.

    Price is dropping rather quickly because they are hyping up for a MIX2 with an even higher screen/body ratio. Not to mention both the S8 and the iph8 will be up there on the big screens too.

    • DevilMayCry on 15/03/2017 - 15:14

      You will have to wait at least another year for MIX2.

      • bchliu on 15/03/2017 - 15:25

        I believe they are targeting Q4 this year according to most sources. But then, there's targets and there's actual reality of when it will be released.

  • Fiximol on 15/03/2017 - 15:04

    Snapdragon 835 phones are pretty much around the corner. I would not buy a 820/821 flagship phone unless it has a great discount right now.

    • DevilMayCry on 15/03/2017 - 15:12
      +3

      LG G6 is a flagship with 821. I don't think past 3 generation of flagship CPUs makes a difference you will notice as a general everyday user.

      • Fiximol on 15/03/2017 - 15:18
        +4

        The main difference is that 835 built on a 10nm and 820/821 is built on a 14nm process. Even if you do not care about processing power then 835 is significantly more energy efficient.

        This might be a marketing spiel, but "The 14nm Snapdragon 820/821 was no slouch, but the move to the 10nm node has allowed Qualcomm to register huge gains in energy efficiency and performance. The Snapdragon 835 is 27% faster while consuming 40% less energy, with the overall size being 30% smaller than the previous generation."

        My point is that phones with 820/821 are about to become equivalent to "midrange" phones, and I would not consider $700-800 for a mid range phone to be worth the money, especially not with the trade offs you have to make to use this in Australia (no B28, no local support etc).

        • DangerNoodle on 15/03/2017 - 15:55
          +3

          Whilst qualcomm tend to emphasise the improved power efficiency of their chipset, in the grand scheme of things it won't be as significant as they claim. Whilst the new processor will consume 40% less power, the main battery drainer is and always will be the screen. So 40% less power consumption may only give you 5-10% more battery life given the high resolution screens on today's phones.

          I contemplated buying this phone but the steep asking price is pushing me more towards a oneplus 3t or LG v20.

          On a random note, Vodafone's 4g network runs on 850mhz which is supported by the xiaomi and oneplus. Whilst Vodafone is not as fast as optus or telstra, they do offer beefy data plans nowadays.

        • adrianhughes1998 on 15/03/2017 - 16:43
          +2

          @DangerNoodle: true about processor but irrelevant here as what you're paying for is the thin as fark bezels and ceramic build. Period.

        • Fiximol on 15/03/2017 - 17:32
          +1

          @DangerNoodle:

          Battery drain from demanding games (e.g. hearthstone) are significant, and there is evidence that older phones uses significantly more battery compared to newer phones. But you are definitely correct that the SoC doesn't necessarily improve battery drain from the screen.

          Overall, with the increase pixel count and mobile content consumption, any gain is a gain :)

        • DangerNoodle on 16/03/2017 - 04:37

          @Fiximol:

          It generally depends on what you mean by older phones. Older phones as in used phones or unused older model phones? Recharging frequently and quick charging frequently tend to shorten battery life in terms of duration of use as well as reduce the number of charges. I've found that gaming a lot of my g5 has shortened it's battery life significantly. Previously I could get through a day of work with 92% charge remaining, now I finish a day of work with 65% remaining with similar use.

          Also, if you're referring to phones using the snapdragon 810, the task scheduler qualcomm used on that chip was shockingly bad, hence the terrible battery life on phones using that chipset compared to previous 801 and current 820/821.

          Although this phone has a larger screen, its screen is lower resolution and it has a bigger battery. Whilst having an 835 would boost battery life slightly, this phone will already beat other flagship phones by a mile just but using a full hd screen instead of qhd and by having a bigger battery.

    I would seriously consider this were it not for any potential issues using the warranty.

      100% yes.

      I bought my Xiaomi direct from Xiaomi China. It had been working flawlessly for 5-6 months and then it got the red-light/battery glitch error.

      Can't turn it on, can't charge it, can't do anything with it. Emailed Xiaomi twice and both times I got unbelievably retarded answers along the lines of - 'sometimes phone will use more battery, turn off apps and turn down screen brightness!!'.

      I had to reiterate that it was not a battery life issue, the phone was basically bricked - I even linked their own forum posts and its like they don't even read what you send them because I got a second video asking for screenshots of the issue…

    Be careful DWI tend to send carrier marked phones without stating in description, has happened to me a few years ago and a friend recently

      Dont think this phone will have carrier marked one.

    I'm assuming Android Pay doesn't work on this like all other Xiaomi phones?

    • albert0pia on 16/03/2017 - 17:33

      It's got NFC I believe. Isn't that what is required for Android Pay to work?

      • keithality on 16/03/2017 - 23:31

        Yeah it does have NFC, but from browsing forum threads Android Pay does not work as Xiaomi are pushing for their proprietary 'Mi Pay' system

          Well, there goes my love for the device.

  • neonlight on 16/03/2017 - 07:48

    Pretty expensive for Xiaomi. Mid $500 is what I would pay max for Xiaomi. For $100 more is S7 edge with so much better camera any reason to buy this except for thin bezels?

    You can buy three Motorola G4 plus with this price if you want dual Sim, official google updates with local warranty.

    Very niche and unique device but I personally won't spend that much on a device with practically useless warranty and no b28. It's more expensive than a v20 or even a grey import s7.

  • Rukiata on 18/03/2017 - 11:15

    not even 7.0
