Xiaomi Mi 5!

[amazingone]

someone preordered and gave it to me

to be honest, 80% of the stocks went to unofficial distribution channel

Most of Xiaomi new model stocks will land to the hands of those 黃牛 people aka. unofficial channels.

Sprint has LTE B41 which is compatible with Mi5 ....
Also, most US MNO have HSPA+ which will give decent data speed (Mi5 supported frequencies).

It depend on which state you visit in USA?
You can get the information here actually. My experiance is it is not working. Have you try it up?

Anyone face the issue where playstore apps take long time to install?

Downloading is fast... But it definitely takes longer to install by a lot!! Compared to my s6 even.

Hi guys,

I just bought redmi note 3 but I'm thinking of returning it back and upgrading to mi5.

But is it REALLY worth the upgrade since I'm looking at around 700 SGD for mi5 while note 3 only costs 300 ?

Rmn3 to Mi5, I'd say it's a worthy upgrade if you are particular about camera performance. It all depends what you prioritize in a phone. But for 700, you're better off topping up for S7 or S7 Edge instead...

Rather keep RM3. Unless you need a powerful device, camera, design?
