[RUMORS] MI MIX 2+ at the end of March?

Hi Guys, are You speaking about "Mi Mix 2 is the new Mi Mix"?
WRONG!
Mi Mix 2 is just a new version of Xiaomi Borderless smartphone.
At the end of march/first days of april, Xiaomi will have an event to show a new device:
XIAOMI MI MIX 2+ (Mi Mix 2 Plus)
same design of the Mi Mix2 but with 6,4" Oled display.
Other technical features:
94,3% display area
Qualcomm 945 (not confirmed)
8Gb ram
256Gb memory
MicroSD + Wireless Charge (we all hope....)
Miui 9 with Android Oreo
same NOT good camera like Mi Mix/Mi Mix 2 (but with 4k 60fps Video) :crying:
*Source internal worker, confirmed from gearbest friends
What do you think about Mi Mix 2 Plus?

1) Source?
2) March/April is 7 months away (long time) and its near the launch of the Mi 7 so I think its not worth the wait.

2) i Know, 7 months are so much... but is completely different device 6" and 6,4" so if your necessity is just a normal display device is good Mi Mix 2, if like me you need bigger display, will be better to wait

So long time to be disappointed(again). Lovely job Xiaomi.

if what you say is true, than I hope so, because the one they release is a disappointment, it's hardly an updated version .

I'm impressed that they knew another device was being made. Whoever said the camera was crap in the Mi Mix 2S must have been trolling though lol

MI 6 vs MI A1

Hello guys,
I need your honest opinion.
I need to get a new device. I only use blackberry old phone at this moment.
I am thinking of mi 6 or mi A1? Which one do you think is better?
I am thinking a1 for the price and stock android (what I love with oneplus before) but I like also to have snapdragon 835 and EIS for camera.
EIS also affect the quality of normal photos or videos only? I have shaky hands by the way.
Please advice.
Pricing:
mi a1 = 749 aed
mi 6= 1399 aed
Thanks guys

isn't one plus 5 vs mi 6 a better comparison.

i agree however oneplus 5 is out because of my budget

The A1 is easy to unlock bootloader and root. After that you can enable EIS in the build prop and install ported Google cam with HDR+. It's excellent.
The SD625 actually performs quite well on the A1. It may not be as fast as an 835, but it's always smooth and probably more battery friendly.
MI6 has NFC I think, which the A1 doesn't so that could be something to consider.
For the price, stock android AND a great camera, you just can't go wrong with the A1 imo.

How is Mi Mix 2 in comparison to G6 ?

Hello Everybody
I am planning to jumpship to Xioami Mi Mix 2.
Are there any drawbacks in comparison to LG G6 in Mi Mix 2 apart from weird front camera location and the lack of 3.5mm input ?
I am mainly switching to Mi Mix 2 for the screen and can be in bleeding edge in terms of MiUI updates.
Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Better of asking this in the Mi Mix 2 section??...
As a G6 user I say... yeah its better in every way and you should go get a Mi Mix 2.

Thanks for your suggestion,
I'll repeat this question in Mi Mix 2 section and there you offer your valuable inputs.

Mi A1 Vs Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus

Hello everyone, I'm intending buying a new phone in the Middle range prices and after some researches i sticked to this 2 choices: Mi A1 and Redmi 5 Plus, i'm not fascinated by the 18:9 aspect ratio, i'm just looking for handy Value for money phone especially in terms of future supporting by developers.
what do you think?

After my Redmi 4 Prime i can say you one thing..
NEVER BUY A REDMI PHONE.
Redmi Note and Mi series are ok.

Got a Mi A1, in love with !

Mi A1 Best choice for me

I'm satisfied with my A1, no issues.
Running latest stock Oreo, Jan 1 update.

Buy Redmi Note 5 pro

Few weeks back, my biggest headache was to choose between the A1 or Redmi Note 4. Both phone are great, and of course the rn4 has big battery. And undoubtedly, the rn4 developer support is really really great. Unlike Mi A1 right now, well, there is development going but..hmm..
The rn5 looks nice with that 18:9 screen.. not sure bout how will the dev support be for that device tho. Anyhow, loving my A1 :victory:

Easily redmi 5 or 5 plus. Mi A1 is good but the redmi will probably be so much supported on xda and that 18:9 display is gorgeous. And the battery!

It really depends on the taste of android u want. Mi a1 offers pure stock vanilla Android just like in Google pixels and redmi note 5 offers miui a heavily skinned custom Ron with loads of features.
Also mi a1 has dual camera for portrait mode shots and redmi note 5 doesn't ( I suppose). If u are a big fan of the latest updates offered by Google then mi a1 is the way to go.

Since Mi A1 didn't get any stable custom roms yet even though Xiaomi releases the Kernel Source, i'm afraid the developers left this device!
Hopefully redmi 5 and 5 plus get Xda developers Support, but till now no independent
thread for both of them

I'm still in this headache!
developer support for the phone is a MUST!
I was going to buy Meizu M6 note... same Mi A1 price and defiantly beats it specially with both Cameras, but since it doesn't have any Supporting i left it!

If developer support is a must for you, then I guess you should wait for xiaomi to release rn5 pro kernel sources and then get that phone. The A/B partition in the A1 might be one of the reasons why the A1 have not been getting much love..

Go for Redmi Note 5 Pro period.!

I have the Meizu m6 note and it's a great.
Great battery, good camera, no lag, but also no development either.
I have the Redmi 5 plus on order and had hoped it would be here by now. Ordered it January 29.
Hopefully it is supported.

IMO, since the 18:9 screen doesnt fancy you, then it comes to camera vs battery. A1 for camera and R5+ for battery.

According to camera comparisons, Redmi Note 5 has a vastly better camera even though it's single vs dual.
Not much seems to be going for A1 unforunately, except Oreo.

Replacing Mi A1 screen with Mi 5X?

My screen is full of cracks after a drop from 40cm. I'd like to replace it and found one, but it states that it is for Mi 5X. As far as I'm concerned Mi A1 and Mi 5X are the same phones (except bands and ROMS). Do you think it will work, or should I look for a Mi A1 screen? Thanks in advance!

You Need To Go Service Center And Local Electrical Market . Ask Them if they Replace Your MiA1 Screen on There Own Risk Then. Replace
I Think It's Not working Mi5x Screen On A1.

Hi there! I have checked eBay, and almost all of the LCDs are labelled "Mi A1/Mi 5X", so I'm 100% sure you can go ahead and buy a 5X one. Also, the two devices' hardware is literally the same (except for the storage, afaik). So there'll be no issues.
