Great price on Xiaomi's latest Mi6 phone - $579 (USD $419) shipped is the best I've seen since launch.
Also on special is the Redmi Note 4 - 64GB/4GB for $228.
Just bought my sister a Mi5. An absolute pain to unlock/root etc but damn, that is one excellent phone all-round for $300! Would recommend to anyone who can handle a root.
The clones can handle a root ;)
I've heard of families like yours
it is a huge plain to flash rom, even with special cables that suppose to by pass hardware locks man.
When did people start calling step sons as wife's son
Happy with my Mi6 so far, although still wating for global rom to be released.
No 3.5mm jack on Mi6. I refuse to support manufacturers who think they know whats good for me.
The video on the same page shows a usb type c to 3.5mm jack adapter in the box.
Then how do I charge AND listen to music/make handsfree calls at the same time?
Fair enough!
@starbearer: To which I would've replied, "well what about my high-end corded headphones which I've already bought" :-)
The same as how you brush your teeth while whistle ?
Bluetooth :(
Blame Crapple
I agree, I've never forgiven them for getting rid of Betamax
Showing your age dude.
This is a part of GeekBuying's 5th Anniversary Sale. There will be more flash sales which people might find good and that can be viewed here
So other than the additional space and more ram. Is this any better than a redmi note 3 pro? Seems similar for more
They improved the audio (speakers) and there is a weaker processor on board. However it's significantly more power efficient. They also added double tap to wake
Camera sensor also got a downgrade on paper but now takes better looking photos in all aspects.
Which are you talking about? The note 4 or the Mi6?
both actually
The Mi6 has a far superior processor than either of the redmi phones.
The note 4 is not really worth getting over the 3.
@brentsbits: superior at number crunching yes but for some people rationing battery life whilst smoothly running a 1080p screen is far more important than the numbers game. that being said there are differences with things like support for video codecs and probably new LTE/4G tweaks
has the prices gone up already? its showing AUD 240.63 for Redmi Note 4
They tend to be flash sales that last a couple days generally. So it wouldn't surprise me if that's the case.
This or wait for OnePlus 5?
This will be cheaper, the one plus phones haven't been as cheap since the OnePlus one.
Also you can just keep waiting, there will always be a new phone to wait for :-)
All I can say is that I've had a Redmi Note 3 Pro for a bit over a year and have loved it. Upgrading to the Mi5s Plus. Xiaomi make a good phone
Mi6 looks really sick. No B28, warranty etc. of course and I'd be tempted to wait for the OP5 but my wife's on a Mi5 and it hasn't missed a beat.
