Due to current "bugs", you can't install google now launcher or even nova launcher. Just try it out and use for a few hours..
Installed nova launcher before passing mi4i to my brother, so can't test at the moment

What kind of bugs?

Redraw errors, many times icons turn black. And I think I experienced other weird errors, but icons turning black are the big show stopper.

Was playing around w my friend's Mi4i. As a user of the Redmi Note, i have to admit the Mi4i is well build. Slim, light ...good quality product. My ONLY grip is that its 16Gb. If the 32Gb variant is available, i would buy it ASAP to replace my Nubia Z7 Max.

you can try to sand the sim card thinner by using a sandpaper. its quite a tight fit.

I was using nano-sim with a Noosy adapter, a little bit tighter, but still could insert and take out easily ya. was your SIM nano to begin with? or cut from micro? nano sim is actually very slightly thinner than micro and mini, so if you use a SIM that was card + an adapter, it might be too thick.

Anyone encountered problem that phone unable to make outgoing call? Each time I dial there's a message Sim error or no Sim.

I can receive call, sms and data

Just that I can't call out.

Could it be a bug?

Found a way to fix this in nova. Just enabled aggressive mode in nova advanced settings.

Just got my Mi 4i today as a travel phone. Initial impressions are that it's quite laggy (compared to my S6). Camera can't hold a candle to the S6 too. Switched to performance mode and it's slightly better. Don't really like MIUI though. Possible to root to stock Android?

And yeah had some difficulty fitting my microSIM cut to nanoSIM into the microSIM adaptor. But managed to squeeze it in. Taking it out is a bit hard though, I had to use a credit card to pull out.

Oh yes, so where you guys buy case and SP for this phone? The phone feels so damn good in the hand though... Doesn't feel like $279 at all. In fact, it feels more premium than my old S4. Wish it had a microSD slot though.

got a tempered glass screen protector from hitec mobile at funan. but the cutting is a bit off at the earpiece there which covers half of the front camera. but it's ok since I don't use the front camera.
