mi4 is single sim and 3G though. AFAIK both use Snapdragon801 but without the highest optimizations / latest manufacturing process which means they aren't as good as the big brand flagships of 2014. Quote:
They are unknown in India btw outside tech circles. In mid sized cities no one knows them e.g Lucknow - only xiaomi is known but folks with Lenovo or Huawei phones regularly get derided as having a "cheap chinese phone". "Motorola / Xiaomi was not available?" is the standard refrain!! PS: I've seen / used their phones since 2009 when they were quite crappy btw. | ||

I prefer stock Android which is one thing I loved in the OnePlus X. | |

The Redmi Note 3 (RN3) was my first choice, and I was not even considering any other device until the afternoon of 20-April. The lack of easy availability of the RN3 is making me look elsewhere. Their sale model makes me feel desperate at 2pm on Wednesdays. Gives a sense of too much importance being given to the device, more than it may deserve. Quote:
With those strong words of recommendation, not I'm reconsidering looking at the OPX more seriously. Thank you for messing with my head. ![]() Where is the Mi4 64GB version available? | ||

Here again, 1+X has an advantage over MI4, now a days 4G is quite common and an additional option of either 2nd SIM or Card is always useful. | |

I agree with Vid6639, one plus x is a great phone. It too has great specs and not to forget the 8 series snapdragon chip meant for flagships. I was going to buy one plus x but then spending anything over 10k just did not seem right at that time. So, if you are willing to spend that extra few thousands then yes one plus x is a very good option. I think storage should not be a worry now especially when all these phones have USB OTG. I'd rather prefer to have to either sync those personal photos, etc. or move them to another device given that phones are more prone to getting lost. | |

-No 4G support -No dual sim -No expandable memory -64GB version was overpriced (my personal feel) -Looks Quote:
But please do take a look at OPX - it is a very good choice. --Anoop | |||

I once had a look at the comments from prospective customers after they failed to get the phone in the flash sale. While some were in bad taste, it gave a flavour of how pissed off they were. Quote:
I shall let the weekend pass and then decide which one to go for. As of now it is between Redmi Note 3, Lenovo Vibe S1, OnePlus X. | ||

| ![]() Mi India is conducting an open sale on 27th April 2pm. No registration required. Why don't you try again? I heard they have imported huge number of handsets this time. |

| ![]() The Xperia Z3 by the way, became the first ever non-Nexus device in history to get Android Developer Preview support. Android N Preview builds starting to roll out. Very easy to flash as well. The legend of the Z series lives on!! |

Is this some setting - if not it seems like a MIUI bug. If so, is there a way to replace MIUI with stock Android ROM - there seems to be too many problems with MIUI. | |

Since the next sale is an open one, seems like one should believe them this time. I would prefer buying off amazon.in over the Mi India website, as they have listed the 16GB & 32GB variants for the next sale on 27-Apr, 2pm. | |

| ![]() My Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE (SM-G900I) got upgraded to Android 6.0.1 today! Slight changes in the interface, must see how it performs! Last edited by cpbopanna : 23rd April 2016 at 18:47. |

| ![]() I own a Moto G2, running on Android KitKat. My OTA update still shows Lollipop. Has anyone else got the Marshmallow update? Will I have to install Lollipop first to be able to upgrade to Marshmallow? Please share your experience with OTA fellow Moto G2 users. |
