Looks many of you know nothing about Xiaomi. Let me copy paste from wikipedia:
According to IDC, Xiaomi is now the third largest smartphone maker in the world followed by Lenovo and LG at fourth and fifth place respectively. Samsung remains at the first place despite declining shipment volume, followed by Apple Inc. at second place. Xiaomi also became the largest smartphone vendor in China in 2014, having overtaken Samsung, according to an IDC report.
So I don't think you have to worrie about build quality and updates. I'm pretty sure it will get the MM update later. But because MiUI os a heavily costumised android skin, they will need time.

any idea if both sim card slots are 4G? for example my honor 7 is only 4G and sec slot 2G which is Doggee :wink: because three for example and freedom pop dont use 2G anymore and have to switch between them two. Thanks!

Have to admit this looks like a pretty cool phone! Great review here. Guess there will be a good £30/40 of import tax on this though?

seems a decent phone for the money, the "poor speaker" noted in the review might worry some but unless you've road tested it you won't know how true that statement is. No expandable memory might start an argument on here like it always does but 32 GB should be fine. Heat added. :wink:

Normally only one sim slot is 4g, the other is 2 or 3g only. Oddly there's nothing in the spec to say?
Also just read there's no SD card slot. That could be a deal breaker for some?

Don't forget you can always contact the seller to declare lower price on the invoice. Usually it is no problem for them to declare about $80 and you don't have to pay more than £20 in total (vat, duty, handling whatever)

I recently picked up the Ulefone Touch 2 - around £115 in sale. Took 21 days to arrive. Great phone it is too - soooo fast and responsive.

I bought my Elephone P7000 there, paid a little bit extra for postage and it arrived in two days.
