Yah, it spoils the whole thing. I ordered some battery covers to change it up a bit
Well I only had a few hours with it as of now, so maybe in a few days I can give a small review.
So far, its good, its basically a redmi with bigger screen, which makes a big difference for me actually.
The build quality is solid, to me even better than the Redmi.
A bit heavy though, it feels heavier on hand than my Huawei Ascend Mate which is a 6 inch phone.
The screen is actually very nice and vibrant.
Its smooth, hardly any lags, the camera app lags quite a bit though.
Camera quality nothing special, rear camera quite a a lot of noise, front camera nothing great either, but don't take my word for it, i am a pixel peeper.
2GB ram lets me open more apps at the same time, quite a big difference.
More storage space in Phone storage, worry less about lack of space.
So far for the price that Xiaomi Singapore is gonna release, its very much a worthy grab.
Even if you have no intention to buy a new phone, just buy one to play with or as a spare, its worth every penny.
I'm getting in a Zenfone 6 soon to do a comparison and decide which device im keeping
Btw if you are all wondering where I got it from, its from an online shop called ibuygou.com, costs quite a bit more when you include shipping, I recommend to buy from Xiaomi Singapore better.
