    not a bad price considering it is pre-order and brand new etc

    • Elnato on 23/09/2017 - 23:21

      I'm incredibly tempted, there's a lot of variation with ram and storage too, the only thing holding me back is the MIUI, if that was just Android OS I'd buy it for sure

      • magifico on 23/09/2017 - 23:34

          How can you be sure? It's not even out yet and no one would be developing for it. It is likely but can be very hit and miss for Xiaomi phones.

          No doubt there will be ROMs soon.
          Currently I'm using the first mix running ressurection remix rom which is as close to vanilla android.
          Even before that I used Nova launcher.
          There's actually a couple of nice things in mui, especially second app which lets you have two apps with separate accounts etc.

        except for nuxus and pixel most android phone manufacturers add their own skin and default apps so,that they compete on features not price against other phones …. MIUI interface won't be an issue for stock phone users . Bigger issue is cost for a phone with no local support and probably very little resale value compared to a samsung or iphone ….. and if people want a cheap phablet with local support there are LG phones eg V20, 30, G6 …. forgetting bootloop in their earlier phones.

      • RedHab on 24/09/2017 - 09:55

        MIUI is pretty good. I was impressed with it, lots of great built-in features like a Tasker and Greenify clone.

      What is the benefit with having google store? Is it just the ability to install apps? If so, don't Xiaomi have their own app store? I'm new to Android & dont have any experience with Xiaomi

      • garage sale on 24/09/2017 - 05:26
        +7

        the ability to use the google store means you can load what apps you want rather than the ones the chinese government allows based on regulatory requirements. eg facebook.
        so that is why global rom is important unless you are chinese. in which case you probabaly use the chinese domestic equivalents eg westerners use whatsapp chinese seem to use wechat.

        • ABZ300 on 24/09/2017 - 13:47

      usb c to 3.5mm adapters are very cheap $5, if you have older headphones and want to keep on using them eg bose or beats etc bur for the majority of phone users wireless buds seem to be the way the market is heading for convenience of size and no tangled cords.

      amazing how people complain about apple yet people copy them for trends ….. iphones 7 no 3.5mm socket and it makes headlines , iphone 8 it's now the norm, people have adjusted and even android are copying trend by using usb c port.

    Xiaomi finally joined the wireless power whatever, so from next year onwards they should start putting Qi charging in their phones. I will wait for that before I purchase another xiaomi, especially one that is under 4000mah.

    • garage sale on 24/09/2017 - 05:50
      +1

      the speed of usb c charge solves most people's problems ….. Qi is ok for overnight at home or in your office as the charge you get from 15 mins on QC3 is way more than 15 mins on Qi …. but Qi does make the manufacturing of weather resistant phones easier , reduced wear on the usb port , i have QI charger but have never used it.

  • TightAssDrake on 24/09/2017 - 07:00

      • etherspin on 05/10/2017 - 17:56

        I know lots of people are wowed by the curves but I am the exact opposite. set up my wife's S8 and everytime I use it I am pleased to revert back to my laggy S5 with awful camera (indoors) because the flatscreen which is easy to accurately touch target feels like a futuristic luxury, the S8 curve evoking the long since passed days of curved CRT TVs with parts of the screen obscured in the corners

    Anyone else miss the old size of 6.44 inches? I understand 5.99 was used to make it more portable/less hassle to talk on for a long time but one thing I love about my Mi Max is the size. I'd jump at the Mi Mix 2 if it continued with the same size as the Mi Mix. 1st world problems make life hard.

      Tell me about it. I went from using a Mi Max to a Sammy A9 Pro. There's a 0.44" difference in screen size but my typing is badly affected because of this. You might find the Max 2 a worthy successor.

      • tessel on 24/09/2017 - 10:53

        Yes was thinking Mi Mix first version due to size or Mi Max 2 but Max 2 doesn't seem much of an upgrade. I understand the Mi Mix isn't either but at least it looks significantly different on the outside etc.

    • Kelalako on 25/09/2017 - 09:57

      I think they are trying to cater this phone to the more average consumer. I love my Mi Mix, but holding a slimmer Note 8 just feels more natrual

  • usmanyousaf on 24/09/2017 - 07:35

    This phone is really good if you want a new and innovative design. However, if you want the brand and name, go for Samsung.

    I believe the price will further drop since it is using same snapdragon 835 chip which has been already released by every other phone company.

        What so super duper impressive about the camera specs? According to specs I found it uses a physically smaller 12mp sensor compared to what other flagships like the U11 or S7,S8 etc use. Also the aperture isn't as wide, so the sensor doesn't get as much light. It makes perfect sense that low light performance wouldn't be as good. Even phones from 2015 such as the old LG G4 use a bigger sensor and have wider aperture.

          Yep sale starts on 26th 10am on Taobao. Thats when it actually goes on sale.. You can check the Xiaomi website as well https://item.mi.com/product/10000070.html

          Geekbuying is preorder that ships in 15 days.

          Yes price doesnt include shipping, I normally use the website to check item prices in china. Dont think you can check shipping cost until it goes onsale. My wife did ship a whole pile of things cheap when taobao launched the bulk shipping service. They distribute to local pickup points.. ie. local milkbar.. Think it took less than 7 days to receive package. Helps if you have a native speaker.

          I regularly travel to china, Im actually going next month so will be visiting the Xiaomi Store to see it in person. Once I was in China for the Miband 2 release. got to the Xiaomi store 1 hour after opening and it was actually sold out >_< apparently queues formed 2 hours before opening.

          @darkage: I went to the Xiaomi store today (via an Ozbargain Hainan Airlines deal, Sydney to Xi'an / Beijing). The phone is listed at 3299 rmb ($626:50AUD). But completely out of stock, and they don't know when they will have any.

          @Newcroft: Not surprised. Pretty much a repeating story with new releases especially no information on when it will be back in stock and probably advised to check online. :P Wife didnt want to fly Hainan Airlines so we went next cheapest option Singapore airlines to Guangzhou. Currently thinking about getting the Mi Max 2 (cheaper price point and sightly bigger screen) I'll check it out next month.
