Are you blind? Can you not see quite clearly the fingerprint sensor is on the back, not the front?

the only other thing i would be cautious about are the 4G bands cant find anything official about band 20 no doubt there will be a band 20 version as it is to be sold in Taiwan but whether this has it im not sure

official launch price of 14,999 Rs converts to £181

Yes quite right but thats what you pay direct from Xiaomi or a Xiaomi store to buy it for the uk you got to go through the third party sellers like aliexpress,gearbest,banggood who are always going to mark it up considering this a £15 mark up is pretty good normally more like £40-£50 initially then gradually coming down

Interesting device, and I like the stock android aspect. Any idea if there's an NFC chip?

That's one of the pages I looked at. Also looked at a link from the MIUI twitter feed. Guess no mention means it's not there. Never mind.
Heat. Still prefer the trade off of the extra 1000mah on the note 4 than pure android on this

Optimisation from stock android should give this phone a very good battery life.

Hope so, if it gives 1000mah's worth, that baby is mine. Will wait for some SOT reviews.

I think I want this... the battery being so much less than the Redmi Note 4 is a concern tho, and I'd like to know if it has NFC (seems not) plus confirmation of Band 20

I'll wait for this to drop in price I think. I just know how xiaomi phones go! It'll be £150 in no time

It's literally better than the upcoming Moto G5S Plus in every way. It even has USB Type C.
I think I'm going to get this. Looks like it has Band 20 support to boot.

I bought for the wife a G5S plus dual sim from amazon italy (shipped to UK). Every once in a while they list the price around 250 euro which is a good price. Shipping was about 5 euro. As of now seems like a solid phone. Fast, nice screen, dual sim etc. Camera outside works fine. inside (low light) seems that it needs time to focus , but perhaps i had to many settigns on. I have it only for 3 days so early to tell. overall good deal [i have an eu credit card to so no conversion charges for me]

No Band 20 according to the official specs see this from pdevice.com/pro…ecs am gutted as just ordered two phones last night and was going to cancel and get these, but without band 20 on Three its a NoNo :disappointed:

According to the official site, Band 20 is supported.

I was about to ask you for link but found it now and yippie band 20
I would message the seller to confirm band 20 support before buying as the first batch to go on sale on the 12th Sept are mainly for the Indian market and i dont think band 20 is required there that is not to say it wont have band 20 but other Xiaomi phones for the Indian market did not have band 20 support. There will be a version with band 20 as it is to be sold in the Taiwan market
