You must provide a forwarding address. Tmall only ships within China if I'm not wrong, so you can sign up on like 65Daigou or something where the website itself has an address in China. Tmall will send the parcel to that forwarding address, and then you pay for the shipping from that forwarding address to Singapore.

4G is stable with 7.2.12.0

For those who still cant get 4G connection with your Mi5, u might like to check with your telco. After lots of troubleshooting and hair pulling, the reason why i couldnt get 4G with Starhub is due to their network. Its an ongoing investigation and i'm positive it has nothing to do with Mi5 nor my SIM card. I have changed SIM cards. I can get stable 4G connection with a prepaid card. My 4G postpaid SIM card used on other mobile phones also couldnt get a 4G connection.

Honestly, in terms of materials used, I'm not going to blame Xiaomi. You get what you pay for. you can't use the same kind of premium materials and manage to undercut your competitors by half the price also. Look at his 6P and M9. Both also bent in half and they cost twice as much. So, it has to be expected anyway. Anyway, he's probably 180 pounds of muscle, I think an average Singaporean probably wouldn't be able to bend it in half like how he did.

Getting annoyed by all this bend test since the bendgate started.
Of cause will bend when both force and breaking point met.

Guess this kind type of video is sponsor by or getting attention.

Yeah, makes no sense why would a ordinary user do such extreme bending test to their phone, it's not like anyone in the right mind would just get a phone and bend it out of a sudden when he can use it as a normal phone as anyone else do.

Agreed. Unrealistic imo, there's almost virtually no chance of me bending the phone in normal usage and there's always gonna be a trade off if the phone is going to be this light (which i actually like it the way it is). As long as it retains its shape under normal usage cirmcumstances, I don't see any problems here.

If they want to do a bend test, please at least have some instruments to measure the force applied. May be it was Arnold Schwarzenegger doing the test ?

If this is off your expactation for a $600 phone. May be you need to raise the standard a little.
I guess Redmi 1S can perform better than this!
