Best source to buy Xiaomi phones? - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

Haven't entirely settled on the model, either a Mi 6 or a Mi Mix 2.
The best deal I found was here. goo.gl/d3Uqsi
However, I don't really know much about the efficiency of ordering chinese phone from other sites like Amazon, or Alibaba.
I mean the price is great, but are they reliable?
And one more question: Is MiUi stable yet? I heard rumors that it has been unstable.
Thanks!

depends in what country you're living, for mine eBay is not safe enough to buy expensive stuff
use banggood they are little pricier than eBay but you're safe

I am in the US, and wondering what a good vendor for me is.
Thanks for you responses though.!

Mi Mix 2 is down to $420 on Amazon. Hard to beat if you have Prime (free fast shipping). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079816Y5T

I am breathing heavily and need to sit down. I just got it! Waiting for 2 days. Lol.

Really good spec and pricing. $399 price tag , however with discount $100 for US resident which bring it down to $299. Just wondering if all the bands work with Tmobile and AT&T
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I'm probably going to grab one, but I need a CM / AOSP rom to be there.
Announcement says:
LTE-A, LTE, HSPA+, HSPA, UMTS, WCDMA, EDGE, GSM
LTE Bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/29/30/38
which is everything T-Mobile and AT&T need AFAIK
The product code it's LEX727 not LEX720 as chinese version. Have a new ROM 5.8.0.18S and updated kernel.

Yeah, the product version is different, but as ericerk mentioned, this needs CM/AOSP support (and kernel support) for it to be REALLY worthwhile. Not sure how I feel about just plugging in another chinese skin/ui on a phone, no matter the specs.
Are they releasing a limited amount of the Pro3 for their flash sale?
Sent from my ONE A2005 using XDA-Developers mobile app
has anyone seen the software for the Le Pro 3 phone called EUI 5.8?
im ok with it if it works and is not garbage. The hardware for the flash sale price of $299 is a steal.
otherwise im going with the OnePlus 3T coming out soon which is definitely going to have CM14 ported to it by someone. probably will only cost $399 I hope.
No offense but the device does sound like a good buy. But let's be honest, there to many great phones out in this price range now(Nexus 6p, op3, g4 plus, etc) that worrying about development is kinda dumb when those phones I mentioned offer tons of it already. Then on top of that 6p already on 7.1.1 dev preview, and g4 plus has soak test leak build of 7.0 out now......
Then on top of that the phone is on 6.0 MM....Why not 6.0.1 or especially 7.0?

yea, I think you have a good point. I am starting to lean towards the oneplus phones, as they seem more dev friendly, and the company has no problems releasing source codes eventually for their phones.
today i got mine. and its a really nice and fast phone BUT the contrast and the colours are not the beste.
my last phone was a samsung note 4 and the display is even better.

Is yours the US model? I'm asking because I'm curious if it's as easy to bootloader unlock as the chinese model.
oh sorry wrong thread i got the european version
I'm very interested in the Le Pro 3. I currently have a Nexus 6 and have been considering an upgrade. I was about to pull the trigger on the Axon 7 but then I saw the promo for $299. An incredible price for the specifications. The biggest minus is no SDCard and questionable about how much development there will be. On the other hand the price and battery are worth considering. Must be rootable (which this phone is).
I cut my cable and phone off ages ago and rely on netflix / amazon prime for entertainment, so the streaming content might be something I'd be interested in as well.
Unfortunately I have only 1 shot (money is tight) and I'd hate to spend my one shot at an upgrade to get a dud. Decisions decisions....

i got the 720 international version of the phone which has dual sime , 6G Ram, 64 Ram, and the EUI5.8 i was told the EUI5.8 for both US and 'internation version' are almost same. as least for the main functionality part of it. here are some screen shoot. i feel it is better than the google's mm 6.0. and some niche control features. see the attached. i have used the phone for only few days. so far, the performance is very good ( lightning fast) and the battery just last ( compare to my old Samsung note 5), and with the built in phone management tool, you wont need other power saving apps. i compared to use greenify or just phone's power management, the battery performances are the same. so i removed the greenify. basically, i noticed there are quiet few firmware update for other LeEco previous models. so hopefully we will get good support for this new model as well. compare to native google phone, i prefer LeEco's control function . press the left bottom, you will get the full control interface which allow you to do few things in one screen. very handy!
I read online somewhere that on the Nov 2nd flash sale there is only an limited amount of devices that qualify for the $299 price

During the Nov. 2 flash sale each customer is limited to 5 devices at the discounted rate, assuming the member has claimed the coupon all 5 times. Also, there is limited stock so be sure to order as soon as you can and if you do happen to miss the sale, don't worry there will be another.
I lost my Nexus 6 to water damage and ordered OnePlus 3, but their supply is very slow, it's taking more than 3 weeks to get shipped, so when Le Pro 3 was launched, I cancelled my OnePlus 3 order and waiting for Nov 2 to order it. With new manufacturer there are so many unknowns, but it this price point I am pretty sure enough people will buy this phone that we will have very good support for this phone on xda.

I wonder if the slow down of shipments is due to the new oneplus 3T coming out soon??
I am not worried about dev support for le pro 3. I am worried about LeEco being lame and never releasing source code. they posted the source code on opensource.le.com but then took it down. Some people are saying the code was bad anyway. devs cant really do anything without the kernal source, its not worth their time and energy in that case.

It says on the site that supplies are limited. In the Chinese debut they sold out 500,000 units in 15 seconds. I think US release might have less units but also it will have less buyers.

Should i buy it? or one plus 5?

Hi all,
Im looking for a new phone, i currently own a redmi note 3 pro, but i want a better phone overrall, i always loved mi mix, altough it was too expensive for me and a bit too big, plus the camera isnt that great..
Well, mi mix 2 was announced, kinda disappointed in some way, but i still like it, camera is good (could be better), dont care about no headphone jack, only thing that i would really like is the double camera, on the other hand, there is one plus 5, ~100€ less than mi mix 2 on gearbest, great phone overall, nice camera, but the design isnt as good as mi mix 2....
Well, im sure some of you guys have the mi mix 2, do you recommend it or should i go for one plus 5 or another phone?
Also i was looking now at the LG G6, looks cool too.

Well I couldn't resist and already bought the mi mix 2 on gearbest, but I made the mistake of buying the 64gb when the 128gb was only 10€ more, only saw it after, thanks for the feedback tho, got me more confident.
Hopefully we get some custom roms like lineage soon.
Does it come with tempered glass? If not where I can buy one
Definitely Mix2 is better than OP5
Well, I'm in the same place as were you, ShadyGame, but I'm more patient
MI Mix2 is beautifull for me, my only concern is about GPS accuracy (I know Mi5 had problems), so I wait for some owners opinions

I couldnt resist too and bought the device also on gearbest today. Im curious when it will arrive.
It will be my first xiaomi device so im also curious about MIUI and the rom development for the mix 2 ..
I hope it wasnt a wrong decision to buy mi mix for 520€ instead an Galaxy S8 for 520€ too ^^
I purchased one last week, have the Redmi Note 3 Special Ed. Was tossing up between this and the Oneplus5 as well.
Hope it arrives soon, any thoughts on staying with the ROM it comes with. Here in Australia if I root or unlock the phone my banking apps will not work.

i have a redmi note 3 pro, it was awesome, but i cracked the screen and i want something top line xD
galaxy 8 here costs like 800€ in my country, simply not an option when i can buy mi mix 2 for 530.
I own both currently. The OP5 is much lighter and the Oxygen OS is much more stock. The MIX2 just looks more modern with the bezeless design. Talking about weight again, the MIX2 almost makes my hands tired holding it for a long time compared to the OP5. The ceramic is absolutely beautiful, but don't know if its worth the weight since you cover it up with a case almost immediately. Performance wise, they are similar. Both are snappy and get stuff done. Camera wise, both aren't as good as the top flagships, but they do the job sufficiently.
OxygenOS is WAY better than MIUI. It was just easier to setup with launchers and the interface is just cleaner. I was having all kinds of trouble with notifications with MIUI, but I finally have it working right. Maybe things would be different with the global rom?? Who knows, but I can't wait for some alternate ROM to show up to clean things up. My final decision is going to be to stick with the MIX2. Reason being I can't stand the 4 year old design that Oneplus stole from apple.

I dont really care about the OS when im buying a new phone, i know i will be rooting it and installing a stock rom, hopefully we get lineage soon...untill then ill stick to MIUI is not that bad in my opinion.
What do you guys think how long will this device live?
I am still using a Oneplus One, which is pretty old by now - so I tend to settle on phones and only switch once something is broken or I'm really impressed. Development for Oneplus One ROMs / Kernels is still going on, because it was a highly anticipated phone and had many users. Is the Mi Mix 2 compared to the OPO a niche product?

It will live untill you break it xD, i mean, look at that screen, never gets old, with snapdragon 825 and 6 gigs of ram i think it will be a good phone for the years to come...the only thing i wish it was better is the camera, from what i've seen, still didnt receive mine, but i dont expect the quality of an iphone or s8, or even LG v30.

Should i buy the Mi6

https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/device-reviews-and-information/one-t3680127
You should.
You must
my experience was so far so gooodd.. you really really should.
Sorry. I've just bought the 1+5
It was a very hard decision but the 1+5 just won as it was available to get my hands on the beast today.
I went for the 8gb ram / 128gb storage
Honestly, I have it and it's decent but I wouldn't buy it again. The hardware is solid but the software is meh at best and with Xiaomi being terrible with the source code, we don't even have an official LOS build. I am actually considering selling mine and going back to OnePlus ( will miss the size and quick charge for sure)

Lol, of course I saw that 10 minutes after I made my post. Better late than never
It was a close call for me too between the OP5 and the Mi 6. But 5.5" is too big for me, so I got the Mi 6 Ceramic (6 GB/128 GB) version. I'm still using my Nexus 5 because I'm in the "72 hours wait period to unlock the bootloader".
So far I'm very impressed with MIUI 8, though. All of the features I need from Lineage are there. I'm thinking of just rooting MIUI and if possible slimming it down a bit, but I might not go back to LOS.

Should I?

I chose the Mi Mix 2 over the Huawei Mate 10 because of price, updates and looks and I've not regretted it. It's also one of the few phones without the stupid notch. I recommend that you buy it but don't get it from Lightinthebox. You're better off with Gearbest even if it's a few dollars more.

I love mine. I would debate on whether you should maybe wait for the Mi Mix 2S or not. We are finally at the point where the AOSP ROMs are pretty solid as an alternative to MIUI. So if using something like Resurrection Remix or Lineage OS is a strong desire, then the 2 is probably a better choice over the 2s.

My Mi Mix 2 is coming ^^
I got mine for a few days now and I cannot say anything else that I love it! Definitely it worths its price
I've got the note 8 before and except for the s-pen, I dont miss it. The mi mix has better size, a big screen in a more handly body and it has very nice design. The fingerprint sensor is waaaaaay better. Performing its as well, Samsung is still a little laggy sometimes, here there is no lag at all, everything run so fast... I cannot complain about anything not even for the camera which I readed its trash... its not for me, fulfills perfectly in most situations.
You made a very good purchase, enjoy it

It really depends on what you are looking for. But i love my phone.
I chose the Mi Mix 2 because of the high ratio of display (almost bezel less) and the possibility to use custom rom (but for the sake of argument... Unlocking the bootloader is F***ING ANNOYING).
At this time around, i join with the other users... wait for the official specs of the Mi Mix 2S, before you make a decision.

Maybe they changed the procedure, because i unlocked the BL of a Redmi 3 for a friend of mine. It was quite simple indeed.
But mine was not. I subcribed to the MIUI-Forum, needed a VPN-Client so connect to china and had to wait 72 Hours.

Wtf...
There is some Telegram or WhatsApp group about Mi Mix 2?
Sad story, yesterday I broke my s4 glass, I accidentally dropped it, not once, but twice. First time it strenuously survived, but the second time unavoidably it broke.
So, after half a day of mourning I then didn't look around but went straight reading about mi mix2. And you know what?
It happened that today was the Mi Mix 2S presentation date. :crying:
So now I'm torn. Wait for a while for the 2S or don't look ahead but buy the mix2.
My main concern is about the mi mix 2 OS, it will be global already or will I have to update the software all by myself (or better, thanks to XDA? )

Why would you cry mate? It brings advantages on both ways. Either you pick Mi Mix 2, of which price is already dropping slowly, or you decide to get 2S which will (surprisingly, to be fair) launch with the same price as its predecessors (3299 CNY/ 32999 INR / 530 $) and will sport some important improvements (wireless charging, massive camera upgrade, AI, newer SoC, upgraded curved body). It's up to you what you choose. If you care about the camera at least a little bit, you shoule be aware of the fact that Mix 2's camera is really bad (and I'm generous).
Additionally, Mix 2S supports Project Treble which will drastically facilitate the creation of custom ROMs. So I think the amazing local developers will surely look after this device.

i know, the issue is that I have to change it now. So I doubt Mi Mix 2s will go on the market fast enough. And on the other front if Mix 2's camera is really THAT bad I will have to pass.
I'll have to find another option. Counting also that 6" are too big for me. In the beginning I was waiting for the mi7 but this accident changed my plans.

I understand your situation... Don't you have any spare phone you could use in the meantime? Mi Mix 2S reportedly launches on the 3rd of Apríl (for the rest of world; in China it might have launched already).
Keep in mind that this 6" phone, thanks to almost no bezels, won't increase the size any drastically. My guess (I don't have time to look it up, I apologize) is 1cm for height and basically nothing for width.
Also be aware that Mi line, which you were waiting for, doesn't support many LTE bands. So if you live in Europe, that's a big problem.
For the 2's camera - look up the test on the internet... it's quite average and considering the price it's bad. That's the reason why Xiaomi is releasing a semi-generation phone, mainly improving the camera quality

I googled yesterday to find out any dates (I followed part of the presentation where I only got the prices) but didn't have any luck. Sure if the date is around the April, I can wait. The S4 still works it's the glass that is quite broken. Sorry if I ask again, so the rom won't be localized, given it's just an update it won't mount Mi Mix2 rom?

Feel free to ask anything, that's why this forum exists
I answered you incompletely, confused you - Mix 2S will surely have community support thanks to Project Treble, but it will, of course, come with localized ROM out of box. In their presentation they mentioned a personal assistent - whatever its name was - which they (surprisingly, haha) compared to Siri. Then in the slides they had a line saying for China only, which indicates there will be a global edition not including this feature. So just in case you needed a proof, this probably is one
Btw I'm the same case as you - working on original Sony Xperia Z (2013) with broken screen. However a little more than a half is touch accessible so I'm still surviving and slowly searching for a new phone

Wow it's dead here why?

I'm surprised there's literally no support or any questions posed for this phone.
I would have expected minimum traffic but literally my thread is the first thread.
If anyone is reading this out there reach out and perhaps you have answers for me?
i'm thinking about buying one. but as you've said above. no one cares the the phone. So interesting. :/

There's a bit more going on the the Find X2 Pro forums - seems most have plumped for that variant at present. Plus neither have been mass-market released outside of Asia yet.
Any idea about its haptics motor feedback?
Comparable to pixels or iPhone
I took the plunge. Here in the UK, its £769 and it also comes with a £150 amazon voucher so this pushes it down to around £619,which is a no brainer. I'm loving it so far. I need more time to do a better review of my thoughts. It's fast though coming from a oneplus 8.
Bought mine today and said bye to my note4. Are pro roms compatible?
Got this in India at decent price similar to Oneplus 8 pro. Needless to say the phone is beast. I thought with [email protected], it'll suck the battery but believe me it is better than S20+ in terms of battery and performance.
Slightly dissappointed to see that there are not much post around for this device. I think moderators could have merged the threads of Pro and non-pro version.

I agree as it's pretty much the same hardware!
