Usual jacked up-front price, but discounted makes for a great deal on the 128Gb model. Currently around $800 on Aliexpress. Not specifically marked as global model, but listing states B28 which is on global model only.

Note that the phone doesn't take microSD, despite the inclusion. Can't explain that one :)

    Xiaomi 8 will come at the end of this month…wait that or buy this :)

    • superroach on 22/05/2018 - 10:42

      8 should be a smaller form factor and more designed to be stylish. MIX phones are typically their power houses, with larger screen and battery.

      • JaySu on 22/05/2018 - 12:08

        Good points. I actually have both xiaomi 6 and mix 2 but am not willing to buy both this year…:)

  • Pricebeat on 22/05/2018 - 10:24

    At this rate, soon Xiaomi will be selling phones for $1000+

    • mattman on 22/05/2018 - 10:27

      If they do it'd better be amazing :)

      This loosely compares to something like the S9+ (s9+ still better cam and screen to be fair, but I don't like samsung/touchwiz) but that's still ~$300 more.

      • onlinepred on 22/05/2018 - 10:56

        Very loosely ….

        • mattman on 22/05/2018 - 11:17

          Same cpu/gpu, more ram, bigger battery, same android OS version, etc etc. As I said the galaxy cam will be better (dxo likes this phone a lot tho) and galaxy screens are always top notch.

          Depends on how much those things mean to you and how much you want to spend.

        • onlinepred on 22/05/2018 - 12:07

          @mattman: Yea, stereo speakers, water proof, more securely storing your data (i.e not un-encrypted data to random china servers), samsung experience is more lean than miui, better screen, better camera, headphone jack, significantly better battery life. Very loosely haha ;-)

          You can clearly see where the $300 goes!

        • mattman on 22/05/2018 - 15:08

          @OnlinePred:

          Use Google services which are all pre installed on global xiaomi like this. Yes you would be silly to use miui cloud stuff.

          Software subjective and largely nullified by Nova or similar (I have no love for the miui launcher, but the rest is really much the same).

          Rest I am happy to deal with for the price, and happy not to have another Samsung.

        • onlinepred on 22/05/2018 - 16:06

          @mattman: Going from Mi6 to S9 was pure bliss btw. Given you can get Android One AOSP running on S9 too, it's going to be amazing once that's fully stable.

          The one thing with both phones, although Xiaomi more so, is that you can never get a full google experience. This is where AOSP fixes things.

          I'm I'm spending $700 on a Chinese import with limited warranty, I would be much happier spending a little more to get a better phone and warranty and not run the risk of any malware installed from stock.

        • butter on 23/05/2018 - 03:51

          @OnlinePred:

          Mi2s is a beta p phone as well. If they get that going long term, this would be an awesome phone.

        • onlinepred on 23/05/2018 - 09:26

          @sabaramo: Yea it's fantastic to see the large amount of devices on the beta channel, really exciting!!!

          I would be buying the OP6 over the MI2s though. OP6 also has beta.

    • BadGiraffe on 22/05/2018 - 10:30

      That's what their Mi line is for. The budget or mid-range phones are the Redmi range.

      • fatice on 22/05/2018 - 10:40

        Mi Max, Mi 6x range are mid range phones.

        • BadGiraffe on 22/05/2018 - 15:23

          Redmi are their entry level phones then. They're a step down from anything Mi. I haven't checked, but I doubt you would find Mediatek chips in any Mi phones.

  • sn809 on 22/05/2018 - 11:20

    This or an S9 from Jb Hifi deal?

    • the0bserver on 22/05/2018 - 11:33

    I feel like something about android phones is really lacking these days. Like they are trying so hard to best Apple and missing the opportunity to invest in themselves.

    • jasswolf on 22/05/2018 - 13:04
      +6

      You realise that Xiaomi was the first major phone manufacturer to bring in attempts at a bezel-less design, and Apple one of the last, yes?

      Apple has actually been grafting from everyone else on the design front of late. The only novel thing they've spat out in 4 or 5 years has been the IR array on the front camera, and that's still been watered down into FaceID and animoji, when they could have stuck it on the back and turned it into an AR-friendly sensor array.

      Might be high time to back up your feelings with some investment in yourself via a little further reading.

      • [Deactivated] on 22/05/2018 - 14:39

        I'm talking about the simple and effortless measures Apple takes that just work, are clean and simple and have been forever. I'm not saying they are ahead of the game on all fronts, but they set a standard and Android keeps pushing harder at meeting that rather than doing there own thing. Settle down, I have owned an android phone for many years. At the end of the day, does it really matter who did what first? It's who did what right and consistently and managed to sell it and build a platform and if that means improving on existing ideas, then so be it. Welcome to capitalism. Because if your another one of them Samsung fanboys running around saying Samsung makes the screens for iPhones, then congratulations, I hope your day is fullfilled with that knowledge.

          Apple work fine if you are happy doing things the way they have prescribed. Very hard to do things differently.

          Android is built to do things whichever way you like but can also end up a bit cluttered and disjointed if you don't take care.

          It's reallg just a horses for courses thing. If you want a phone that just works and you just browse, take pics, make calls etc iPhone is just fine and will do all those things well.

          Android is much better equipped at taking over some desktop and more advanced tasks. Also just more options in price/style etc for those who can't afford a flagship or want to look the same as everyone else.

        • jasswolf on 22/05/2018 - 16:29

          @mattman: edit: sorry, wrong post

          That's a pretty over-simplified viewpoint of it, particularly if you've noticed all the changes to iOS over the last 5 years, namely how it has started to clone a lot of Android features.

          Android is built to work across numerous hardware and design platforms, while the current iOS is built to run on 8-10 chipsets with about 6 (barely) different design forms. What you're complaining about and championing are endemic aspects of each approach.

          Both ecosystems handle basic and slightly advanced tasks about as well as each other without any learning curve or 3rd party app, simply that each individual Android-based manufacturer has their own spin on software packages.

          All I'm reading is another individual fumbling around the concept that the current phone form factor has reached it's zenith. All they can do now is attempt to pack more battery life and processing power in until they can figure out flexible screen technology, or move to AR formats (think Google Glass, but less obnoxious), or something entirely new.

          The iPhone X follow-up is going to feel just as stale to you, I assure you.

  • Hayo on 22/05/2018 - 13:10

    Is there any Xiaomi phone with the screen size at around 5 inches with decent camera(s)? Sorry for my ignorance. I have been looking at different websites but still unable to tell which is good.

    • Bappy on 22/05/2018 - 14:25

      I recall the old Redmi 4/4x variants have 5inch screen but they are not powerful enough.
      I guess the Mi5/Mi5s could be your best pick, they have 5.2 inch screen which I find almost perfect.

    • mckennal on 22/05/2018 - 15:06

      Bit bigger screen, but from reading reviews a good mid range phone with decent camera is Redmi Note 5 Pro. No b28 or NFC.

    • Hayo on 23/05/2018 - 10:16

      Thanks @Bappy. Thanks @Mckennal :D

  • UNO on 23/05/2018 - 13:07

    This or OP6?

    • comphelp on 23/05/2018 - 14:43

      I'm struggling with this too. I've got a OP3T that I'm keen to upgrade from.

      This seems to have the better camera. I'm not that interested in their UI but I like that it's a Android P Beta device. I'm just concerned what happens at the end of the Beta. If I could get a vanilla Android on this going forward (rather than just the final beta) I'd probably jump.
