Would you trade your Mi Max for a brand new Mi5 64GB?

Hi there. I came across the opportunity of buying a brand new Xiaomi Mi5 64GB for a very low price (195€). I'm tempted, because it has a much better camera than my Mi Max and I value that. It looks better as well, and has a better SoC (not much difference IRL though). On the other hand, I love phablets and the 6.44" screen is the very reason I bought the Mi Max.
Taking in account that I would pay nothing (I can sell my Mi Max for the same price I'd buy the Mi5), what do you think? Would you trade the Mi Max for a Mi5 64GB?

No. Working a lot on the move and the big 6.44" is something I never want miss.

Me? No. Since I brought the mi max for the screen size and battery life. But if you are after the camera then go buy the mi5

... better buy a camera.

Where to buy?

Hi y'all
This device is the one I should have waited for.. I jumped in and got a Mi Mix 2 about 3 months ago.. But coming from a Huawei Media Pad X2 it feels very small. I want the Mi Max 3...where is the best place to get one at the best price and shipped quickly to the United Kingdom? I want the 6gb/128gb model. My ceramic 8gb/128gb Mi Mix 2 should more than cover the cost
Cheers and thanks guys

EGlobalCentral.UK ordered mine from there, 4/64gb €244 with code SAVE559 . 1 week estimated shipping.
Edit: oops, saw too late that you needed the 6/64gb version

Wondering if Mi Max 2 feels very small how is Mi Max 3 going to feel any different!? Don't let bigger diagonal screen size fool you. The difference is for the software buttons which Mi Max 2 doesn't need....
Overall don't think you'll feel it any bigger... If I recall it correctly screen width is 1.3mm smaller on 3.

I have a xiaomi Mi Mix 2 currently using gesture control. (No on screen buttons)

As of today, is there a better phone than Note 5 Pro in the 200 USD price range?

Hi, as the title says, is there a better phone in this price? is the Mi A2 (64/4) worth the extra 50 bucks? (these are the prices here in my country Syria)
thanks in advance

I think the recently announced Poco F1 is the best value for money you can get (if you're in india), SD 845 + same cameras as RN5 + 6/8GB of RAM + 4000 mAh battery for 300$ is just insane. The design is not the best out there but I'm seriously not buying phones for design as much as for speed and battery life.

I actually can't buy this phone, among other xiaomi phones, it the RN5Pro the best in its price range?

I don't think so. I got one from Latakia ? 2 months ago and with pixel experience rom and gcam It's just amazing and I couldn't ask for more.

Still worth to buy Mi Mix 2 in late 2018?

Hello guys,
I'm thinking about getting a replacement for my old redmi note 2 and looking for Mi Mix 2. Can get it for about 250 bucks.
Is it a good choice for everyday use?
Other phones I'm looking for are Xiaomi A2 and Xiaomi Redmi note 6 Pro .
Thanks for your opinions

Yes

and in comparison to the other phones (Mi A2, RN6P, RN5P), is it the best choice or is any of them better (probably value for the price)

kind of a design way as there are no much differences in everyday usage. Of course it is more powerful with better camera, but personally I would prefer the look and the feel of a Mix 2

For me, yes. Mine satisfy to use Mix 2 on November 2018.

Honestly I want to say yes but I just have to say no. Drop a little more cash and get yourself a Mix 2S or a Mi8. The Mix 2 is nice but the Snapdragon 845 is more future proof and the Mix 2 camera was okay'ish when the device came 12 months ago so it's not ageing well. Here's my advice: spend that little more extra cash to get the better cam & performance

I think roms and xiaomi policies scared the sellers. XD

That's also what I think

Yeah, weird thing about that model. One day I bought one from some AliExpress seller, 2 days later it went from 310$ to 380$. Guess I bought it just in time.

Xiaomi don't release and seems to not release global rom for 6GB.
And Xiaomi want to blocked the possibilities to flash global rom, on a chinese device....

Someone is salty.
I find the Max 3 to be one of the best phones I've had so far. But this is coming from someone that loves big screen / battery phones.

I agree... I got the three Mi Max. The third is clearly the best one.

I've the 2 and love it. Have just ordered the 6/128 from tradingschenzen as the bigger screen area, better camera and faster proc are all really appealing. My only worry is the lack of custom roms (currently rocking msm extended and love it on the 2) but once I can root for adblock, afwall and debloating I'll be happy.
