        Yeah, but gearbest and such usually mark things up by quite a big margin especially for newly released phones like this…

      • RiseAndRuin on 17/05/2018 - 10:57

        also, given how long it takes for delivery, would you be charged GST (plus whatever new silly custom fee, I think $5) if the phone arrives after June 30th? or would customs decide if you should be charged based on the purchase date rather than the delivery date?
        I believe this is finally coming into effect from July 1st, please correct me if I'm wrong!

        • urbancartel on 17/05/2018 - 10:59

          +1

          @urbancartel: the government seems confused as well :D
          sadly, official pages below indicate that's the date, so my question is more around whether the delivery date has any effect on the new charges. I'd assume not, but I also read "physical goods imported by consumers from 1 July 2018", which sounds to me like the date the goods enter the country might trigger the charges. It's unclear what happens at that point, since the goods were purchased during the previous financial year.

          "From 1 July 2018, the goods and services tax (GST) will apply to retail sales of low value physical goods ($1000 or less) that have been imported to Australia and sold to consumers. " https://www.business.gov.au/news/changes-are-coming-to-gst

          "The Federal Parliament has passed law that will extend goods and services tax (GST) to low value imports of physical goods imported by consumers from 1 July 2018." https://www.ato.gov.au/General/New-legislation/In-detail/Ind…

          MIUI is geared to Chinese domestic market - which is just awesome - it is not designed with international market in mind - to be honest , after using Pixel 2's vanilla android version , which I had longed to try , i am not impressed at all - ( my personal opinion) .

          @angre: vanilla - but I have to declare that I am lazy so not willing to DIY many things which is what vanilla really is about , MIUI is super useful within China - from the shortcuts of apps - to the default apps selection - and to extended function such as built-in virtual public transportation card in many Chinese cities -

    • SUD26 on 17/05/2018 - 11:36

        The main advantages, as I see it are that

        (a) not misplace your Aussie SIM, and allow roaming for emergencies, when using a travel SIM O/S
        (b) buy the cheapest monthly calls plan on one SIM and buy a data-only 4G SIM for the other

  • elektron on 17/05/2018 - 11:21

      I also noted that the second reviewer on the site for this phone said there was no connectivity to Sprint or Verizon networks in the USA. I guess this means there was no connectivity on (Sprint) Bands 25, 26, 41 or (Verizon) Bands 2, 4, 13. ALl 6 bands are listed as supported for the global model, so possible that this model is not. If you are expecting band 28 or band 5 support, proceed with caution.

      They don't actually make any of the components. Likely they don't want to increase costs or want to save on battery life.

        Neither do most phone makers.

        But they find ways to put QHD screens into their devices.

        If they want to avoid increasing costs, there are other things they can also cut but chose not to. If it's your premium range, price is less of a consideration than features and specs.

        What you say makes sense for budget and mid range phones.

        Battery life does not need to be more than one day. If it lasts 1.5 days, the extra 0.5 is redundant. It's not long enough that you can charge every second day. You still need to charge every day. And you won't use the extra 0.5 that a 1 day battery life phone doesn't have. Unless you have a battery that can last two full days.. That's rare on a flagship phone though.

        As long as the phone can last the day, they don't need to go ultra tight on battery consumption. USe a slower processor if that's what you're trying to do.

    Is it worth getting this over the Mi Mix 2 which is around $400? Is the wireless charging, 845 and camera worth the extra $260 over Mix 2.

    Can't decide

    Is this a pain in the ass to root like other Xiaomi phones?

      Rooting should be straight forward after unlocking the bootloader, but Xiaomi now forces you to wait 360 hours (i.e. 15 days) for unlocking which is quite annoying…

      • aong152 on 17/05/2018 - 22:53

        Correct. The 15 day wait is a minimum time too.

        First you need unlock permission (20 minutes to a few days)

        Then you need to unlock, which has a 15 day timer.

        The wait time is server side (server holds the start time, end time and decryption key)… so there is no way to skip the 15 day wait.

    Is there a deal for the 128gb variant?

    Do these outlets ever offer AfterPay?

    Dont buy China phones. They have built chips capture your personal information then send back to China government.

      Don't buy ANY smartphones. They have built chips capture your personal information then send back to China/Korean/EU/USA government.
