A 6.44" phone! Does it have noise cancelling technology to drown out the sound of laughter when you're holding it up to your ear?

I walk round the supermarket talking into my 8 inch phone. Couldn't care less if some children find it funny but have never had as much as a snigger.

Love this phone had it two weeks now and works well excellent on Three. Battery life is easily 1.5 days. Taken off charge at 5am this morning and with moderate use the battery life is 71%. I would have had to charge my Nexus 6 again by now. You do need big hands and pockets for this beast. :smile:

I used to walk around talking into a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7. It got attention certainly but it seemed to be of curiosity and not derogatory - not that I cared.

How this was possible if there is no band 20 on the phone?

I believe AliExpress has it listed but not sure if it's in stock or for pre-order.
4GB only on the 128GB which is £235 vs 3GB with the 64GB SD652 at £178 on Geekbuying at the moment. I find my Redmi Note 3 with 3GB/32GB and SD650 copes admirably well enough I couldn't justify the additional cost.

I think it's worth paying extra to get 4GB of RAM along with the SD652 CPU, and 64GB or 128GB storage.

I think it is but to be honest mine is still in the box. I bought a QC 2.0 charger in Hong Kong last year as well as a threaded USB cable so I have just been using those to charge my Mi Max since the day that it arrived.

Thanks Spark. That's a long time, is the supplied charger just a 1 amp then? I use 2 amp chargers so hoping 5 hours could be shortened as my current phones only take 2 hours.
Spark
7 Nov 16#51
Depends on what charger you use. If you use the basic one that comes in the box then about 4-5 hours. With a QC3.0 charger you could do it in half an hour though.

Been using this phone for 2 weks now. awesome bit of kit for the £161 i paid for it. no custom charges.
Uses Amazon underground app with no worries
4g on ee no problem
Banking app works fine
With general use i get 3 days out of the battery

No UK bands. Chinese phone to use in China and India
arjun311 to sam_of_london
7 Nov 16#46
You can get one with an international rom for £143 from geekbuying, it'll work on UK bands except for o2.
malky39 to sam_of_london
7 Nov 16#47
UK operators us bands 1, 3,7 and 20 of 4g so the only network you won't 4g at all on is O2 or any of its mvno's. Xiaomi do bring out some selected models for the Taiwanese market that have band 20.

It is a very nice looking device but there is no way in hell that anybody would get me to spend ~£500 on a phone and especially not on one from a Chinese brand.

The camera put me off on the mix. Watch some YouTube camera reviews, below average. I was looking forward to purchase it.

Any Eu stock around at this price?
Would tax duty be a problem for importing this?

I guess if you do have to pay extra it'll be around £20-30.

Will be slightly nippier than the 650 processor. The 652 works better with the graphics performance and it's a newer chip.
Wings18
3 Nov 16#24
That's a great price in itself!!. Nice find.
It would need the International Rom putting on it and you'd have to put Google Play Store on but it's worth the bit of hassle for such a bargain price!. Thanks!

Which is £30 more though has 64gb, been wondering whether to pay the extra or just stick with my Note 3 Pro and wait for NFC(though I am coping without). :smiley:
It is worth the extra money, do you have a link for it ?

Bought one for the Mrs a few weeks back. She was sceptical at first but has since grown to love it, especially the big battery. Also MIUI isn't anywhere near as bad as I thought. My head tells me to get one for myself, heart however wants the yet to be released MI Mix (costing 5 times as much!)

5 x as much with no warranty
