Guest SlyUK Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 Just a warning on updates for Xiaomi phones. I've got the redrice and its a great phone but if your expecting regular official miui updates then font hold your breath. I'm still waiting for miui v6 , it was due February!! How long have you owned it & would you buy a Xiaomi again ?
Guest jamie_w Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 How long have you owned it & would you buy a Xiaomi again ? I've had it for around 18months. Yes I would have another as the build etc is very good, but if your after regular updates and its not the top spec phone, I wouldn't get a xiaomi.
Guest SlyUK Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 Well I plan on getting the Xiaomi Mi 4i, its not the top spec, but I believe it to be good spec especially for the price plus it comes with Lollipop 5.0 - MIUI v6.
Guest dakok Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 All other Xiaomis are available to purchase from unofficial resellers, so why wouldn't this model ? Probably because it's for Indian market. I don't think it will apperar in China or elsewhere :(
Guest jamie_w Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 I've just seen it lacks a microsd slot. If its available for the UK the 4g will not work for all networks.
Guest SlyUK Posted May 3, 2015 Report Posted May 3, 2015 In terms of the lack of microsd slot. Use one of these for example: http://www.leefco.com/mobile-products/android/bridge-3.0-mobile-usb http://www.meenova.com/ http://www.airstash.com/ Yes 4G will depend on UK Network provider.
Guest SlyUK Posted May 3, 2015 Report Posted May 3, 2015 Dakok if you go to Xiaomi's main site the Mi 4i is mentioned (previously it was only mentioned on their indian mi site): http://www.mi.com/en/mi4i/ So I doubt they will restrict to India.

Guest KennyPowers2000 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Posted May 3, 2015 I'm out of touch with what's going on at the moment, but am thinking of importing another smartphone from China. I have a coolpad f1 and absolutely love it, what's the current favourite phone to import? (that has good English ROM support) Many thanks KP
Guest SlyUK Posted May 4, 2015 Report Posted May 4, 2015 You may not know this but a lower specced "lite" version of the new Huawei P8 exists: http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2015/04/26/huawei-p8-lite-exists-pre-orders-and-price-for-some/ Only downside maybe the battery @ 2200 mAh.
Guest SlyUK Posted May 4, 2015 Report Posted May 4, 2015 For those of you interested in a sub 5" smartphone, Jiayu S4 rumours surface: http://www.gizchina.com/2015/05/04/is-this-finally-the-real-jiayu-s4/
Guest Maringer Posted May 4, 2015 Report Posted May 4, 2015 Hmmm. One or two of the various Chinese sellers seem to be indicating there is (or will soon be) a Coolpad X7 with Snapdragon 801 chipset (and therefore LTE support) as well as a camera with OIS support.It will be interesting to see if these rumours/adverts have any truth about them.

Guest dakok Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Nubia Z9 Presentation - a picture is worth a thousand words but video is worth about 30.000 words (if it's 30fps) :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQGAcOyrivo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2yg0w1335k And another one

Guest SlyUK Posted May 10, 2015 Report Posted May 10, 2015 If I remember correctly, Dakok reviewed the Lenovo K3 Note on a previous page in Croatian. The following is a video review in english:
