I was in this dilemma.

Then I did some research. Based on benchmark, SD652 is like 3% faster than SD650 and it is on benchmark. Plus I never like to store pictures and videos on phone's internal storage. Reason is that if the phone is dead, that's it.

Whereas with microSD card, we can just take it out and put into another phone.

With the above consideration + cheaper + option of global ROM now, I went for Mi Max SD650 / 3GB / 32GB.

Same here. Especially if you need to send in for service. A dead phone give you no chance to erase the data and hance service person may have access to it after service.

Reasons to get more internal data storage
1. Internal is faster than MicroSD.
2. You can protect the data with password or fingerprint scanner.
3. You can still use the 2nd slot for another overseas SIM card or separate work SIM from personal SIM.
4. You don't worry about running out of space for apps.
5. Your phone can be your portable drive.

I bought two sets 32gb mi max from lazada (smart cell)

Delivery damn fast. Received the item the next working day.. Unbelieveable. I clicked the free shipping.

Behind the phone , there is a sticker which stated "India". Does it mean a India set?

What other icon or sticker to look out for to see whether is it a India set (not China rom set that is being flash)

The box outside wording are all written in English

TIA.

Sorry huh. What exactly is the disadvantage on 64gb... i have been thinking for days. 32gb or 64gb.

I needed badly the clone feature in miui8 and also i will be using both sim slot thus no more option for an sd card.

Any expert can fix the sim cum sd method with a small fee? 😁

It depend on your need. If you need Global rom, then 64G is out of question.

Provided this group of buyers can live with China rom. Then go for 64 with a little handicapped of without preloaded official playstore and all Google services.

Box wording in English means India set. Simple.

China set will be like this:

Nice, that's the reason I always look for phones with MicroSD. So I don't care 16, or 128GB. I don't install that many apps either. I think most users won't feel difference between 650 or 652 after starting to use it, so just buy and enjoy instead of chasing numbers.

Hello... can give me link for 64gb at $259 please. Tia

This is the link: http://www.lazada.sg/xiaomi-mi-max-64gb-gold-export-7851915.html

You got read roidred's post carefully? $259 only if you buy TWO sets, meaning the $100 discount is shared $50 per set.

If you only buying one then at best is $309-$30 = $279.

Guys i have ordered gold 64GB yesterday and was lucky to find another buyer from here. After the 100 bucks discount from Lazada it comes to 259 per person.

$309 + $309 - $100 = $518 / 2 = $259

$100 discount code I just posted above.

Ya!

I also managed to hurrysep30 1x Mi Max 32 just now for my cousin! :s22:

Btw, how many time can we hurrysep30 per day?

Tomorrow, need to hurrysep30 or SC30LZD 1x Redmi Note 3 32 as well...:s8:

Lazada promo is usually single use per account. Read the T&Cs here: http://www.lazada.sg/promo-details/#HurryGrabSuper30

Some people create multiple accounts to use multiple times. But note that they reserve the right to cancel your multiple orders.

For your reference, I'm using Note 5 as primary and Mi Max as secondary!

Huge different in screen size! Of coz, Note 4 or my Note 5 is so much speedier and smoother than the mid-range Mi Max in day to day usage! :)

You want speed over huge display, upgrade to Note 5 or 7. :s22:

You want huge display over with high speed, then can upgrade to Mi Max! :s22:
