Xiaomi Civi 2

[ZhuTou!]

What is 12 lite? I google specs saw sd778 but cant even find in TB.

1) in "accounts & sync", there is a "basic google services" toggle... go in and turn it on
2) get the playstore apk frm 3rd party app stores like apkpure and install

After you login the playstore with your google account, all the backend stuff will install by itself and then you just download whatever google apps you want accordingly from the playstore

So easy now? Not going to install from getapps meh?

Im not sure about Civi 2
But i own a Civi 1 and i feel they definitely got the design language right
It feels so small and compact although its a 6.55" screen

so u downloaded the google services per the instructions you linked?
any hiccups? or peculiarities?

btw the NFC works for google pay with no issues too?

haha
maybe i've been switching between CN brands too often that it became a habit to just download elsewhere coz other brands don't have getapps

i paid abt the same amount for my Civi1 last year
Its mainly paying for the form factor only.... everything else is just barely useable
but the 手感 is really unbeatable

Just curious, did u consider the 12x when buying the civi1?
What were your considerations in choosing civi1 over other models?

12x haven't launch when i bought Civi1
i don't think you can find a 6.55" phone with better form factor than Civi1.... Civi1 seems to be designed in a way that everything is packed to the brim with that small body (in relative to other 6.55" phones)

Have to agree with you on that, the form-factor is really nice.
