    Let me know if you have any questions. I've owned the device for 2 weeks and I love it. Main disadvantages is the front camera placement, rear camera quality and no wireless charging. I get about 7 hours of SOT daily. p.s. I got it during eBay 10% off + cashrewards + buying eBay giftcards for 6-7% off which made it approx $440. Obviously not as good warranty as Banggood, but express DHL shipping.

      If you root and enable the camera2 api, you can run the modded google camera app, quality is significantly better than stock.

      You can also turn off the soft buttons and use gestures to gain just a tiny little bit more screen real estate. It really is a nice phone to look at and use.

    Great post and good price, Sky.

    I bought a Xiaomi Mi Max 2 at the beginning of the year and Xiaomi make fantastic phones.

    I only went with that over this because I wanted that extra 1/2 inch.

    You can do a lot with an extra half inch.

    Anyone offer an opinion on this vs one of the new model Redmi Note 5’s? I don’t really care about being able to play games etc, battery life and camera quality are my go main needs and the Redmi can be had for around $329 with 4gb/64gb

    • jacharya on 07/05/2018 - 08:16

      No B28 with the redmis.
      I have Redmi note 4 and am really struggling with optus network. Had no such problems with telstra.

      • garage sale on 07/05/2018 - 09:10
        +1

        optus and telstra both use band 28 , one of the reasons i don’t use xiaomi, but to get band 28 on xiaomi i’m in LG G6 money and i get local warranty , or ZTE Axon 7 (my backup phone) for $300 with local 2 year warranty. we just upgraded a redmi note 4 to an A1 as it’s just used in urban melbourne so no need for band 28 except congestion not coverage.

        so your struggle won’t be due to band 28 which the redmi note 4. doesn’t have , it will be tower on one of the other frequencies eg 1800mhz which the redmi does have and both telstra and optus use but might have tower in different locations where you live.

        i found in country ( victoria gippsland ) the band 28 coverage to be the same for telstra and optus ( tested on my LG V20 which has all australian bands) and also with huawei modems accomodation and car, we had one with telstra and one with optus, the beauty of optus data share sim (20gb) and telstra bonus data on starter sim so we had 10gb for $5 on their data only sim.

        the redmi note had no coverage in some areas , the LG was fine as it picked up band 28.
        if you need coverage get band 28.

      I used MIUI for a week or so on my Redmi Note 3 Pro a couple of years ago while I waited for the bootloader to unlock. It wasn't bad (and I hear it has gotten a lot better) but I prefer AOSP so flashed it when I could. Nice to have the option, and I'm seriously considering the 2s when it comes down to sub $800 for the 128GB

    • HKS on 07/05/2018 - 09:15

      After I got used to MIUI I like it a lot more than vanilla android.

    • BadGiraffe on 07/05/2018 - 09:17

      It's alright. But I really like having an app drawer.

      Just install the Google Now launcher over it if you don't like it. That's what I'm doing. I've got all my widgets on the main screens, and all my apps in the drawer.

      • ameno on 07/05/2018 - 10:19

        MIUI has the option for an app drawer layout.

    • garage sale on 07/05/2018 - 09:24

      one of the reason we dumped redmi for a xiaomi A1 is android one ….. besides getting lots of updates and not depend on xiaomi roadmap for global support, it’s same interface between different brands that use android one eg moto, sharp xiaomi …..it’s the same.

      for manufactuers with android one handsets it will be race to the bottom in pricing as all they make is hardware and the software is the same across brands.

      also when you move to new phone, android is great with contacts, photos, installed apps, but i recalled when we moved from note 2 to a moto, some games and scores were lost, so we got a note 4 and the xiaomi tool … tool only runs on xiaomi.

      now we have every thing on android one, we lost folders in the move so 100+ games moved to new folders

      IOS ….. really easy to upgrade, loose nothing, lots of ios updates, but expensive ecosystem, if you are like me and would never pay more than $350 for a phone.

      • onggie on 07/05/2018 - 09:50
        +1

        The manufacturer still needs to building AOSP for the phones hardware, it's been heard that users are behind on security patches for the A1.

        • garage sale on 07/05/2018 - 12:02

          A1 is good compared to LG and Moto and many others with their own flavours of android (I have LG) …. our A1 patched in march.
          Google is heading to HAL (hardware abstraction layer) so that they don't depend on vendors ….. vendors cut code up to a software interface for their specific hardware, google does the rest. It's all ready supported on some Android One phones not all.
          I think Google just sick of how quick apple patch all their phones if there is a security issue and Google has to wait for vendors to be motivated which is sometimes never, so it looks bad for Android.

        • BadGiraffe on 07/05/2018 - 15:55

          @garage sale: In the donut and eclair days, it used to be marketed as Google Android. Now it's just Android. Google created this as an open source platform, and phone makers could do whatever they wanted to it. But because everyone still associates Android with Google, phone makers give Google a bad name with slow updates and upgrades.

  • twister292 on 07/05/2018 - 09:14

    I don't really like MIUI. Almost all. Chinese ROMs have aggressive app kill tendencies, MIUI included.

    The phone itself is pretty decent.

    • BadGiraffe on 07/05/2018 - 09:18

      You can turn that off in the settings. In MIUI it's called battery saver or something. I've turned it off for certain apps I want to keep alive, like my work emails.

    I can't fathom Xiaomi's B28 policy. Is this and the Redmi Kate the only models they sell in Taiwan?

    • Clear on 07/05/2018 - 09:46

      Comes down to cost. Pay more to unlock more bands.

    • garage sale on 07/05/2018 - 12:06

      China doesn't use band 28, and most xiaomi handsets are made for the domestic market, India and some US.
      Europe uses band 28 in some countries, but until Xiaomi decides that a handset is targeted for a market and the local requirements, it's Chinese requirements.

      the chipsets support band 28, it's software support, compliance testing, etc.

  • onggie on 07/05/2018 - 09:47

    I have had reports the camera on this phone is terrible. Looking for an upgrade from my Nexus 6P, but this seems to be a deal breaker.

    • Mentok on 07/05/2018 - 10:33
      +1

      I went from a Nexus 6p to the Mi Mix 2 because my the battery in my was dying (for the 2nd time!). I didn't want to go through the drama of replacing it again so I upgraded.

      Out of the box, the camera is a downgrade coming from the 6p for sure, but with the camera2api modification the Xiaomi camera catches back up, but doesn't surpass. If camera really matters then you want to get something else I think.

    • albert0pia on 07/05/2018 - 10:37

        • Mentok on 07/05/2018 - 11:07

          I don't think you actually need to root, just unlock and flash bootloader. You don't need to actually have SU on the phone to install or use the camera mod AFAIK.

        • onggie on 07/05/2018 - 11:39

          @Mentok:

          Might be an option, I'm going to assume after every OTA it will need to be replaced.

    • Jebus on 07/05/2018 - 10:48

      The Mi Mix 2s looks to have a much better camera for not much more money, although it still seems extremely average in low light compared to the S9.

        AU$700 vs AU$470? it's $230 differences and 1.5 times more.

        • Jebus on 07/05/2018 - 12:14

          Good point :). I guess relative to what you're getting it's not much more, unlike choosing an S9 or Iphone for the camera improvement. In a world where popular phones can cost $1800, $700 can seem like a small amount if a high priority is a quality camera.

        • onggie on 07/05/2018 - 13:40

          Yep this was the enticing point on getting the Xiaomi!

  • cureforanitch on 07/05/2018 - 10:49

    • garage sale on 07/05/2018 - 12:12

      these things are on sale every fortnight from either Bangood, gearbest or geekbuying or aliexpress, etc …… the phones are still coming off the production lines there will be more deals.

      these flash sales are an easy way for the seller to get cash flow for when invoices are due ….they get 14 or 30 days credit from supplier, selling with 7 days and we pay upfront and they have money in the band for another 7-21 days before bills are due while the phone is somewhere in transit. Sometimes they don't even have the phones if you look at the dispatch times, probably wait for stock while your money is cash in their bank account.

      • BadGiraffe on 07/05/2018 - 15:58
        +1

        There's a really good video on YouTube that explains why they sell these phones for cheap. Apparently Xiaomi don't make much on their handsets at all. They sell them almost at cost to get their name out there. They have flash sales so they don't keep stock. Storage = money. I'll see if I can find that video.

        EDIT:

        Here's the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he1KAA1da6o

        Forgot to mention not having any advertising also saves them heaps of money. Take Oppo for example. Oppo have tonnes of advertising in Asia, so their phones are a little more expensive for the specs that they have. Still cheaper than Samsung and Apple though, but not as well specced as Xiaomi.
