Unboxing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bITHpVinbnk

Benchmark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmxZf-lWXGQ

Nope. There's no bloatware in this phone. All the preinstalled apps are the common apps.
U can check here: http://www.s-csl.my/index.php/csl-phones/s...h-mercury-mi501

No problem at all.. Smooth sailing bro..

Agree! plus with this phone u can combine the cheapest talk/sms telco with the cheapest data telco. Its highly recommended for ppl who really on budget.

Will go to Shah Alam HQ tomorrow. Been scouting around their retailers last weekend but seems not widely sell yet. Good info bro!

Welcome to the club!

Yerp. I have run both AnTuTu 3DRating Benchmark and Nenamark GPU test. It seems:





Its score 1238 for off-screen test. And compared to S2, its run 31.7 fps (32.8 fps by CSL Sabah - Youtube Benchmark) while S2 runs on 54.1 fps.

These are the overall benchmark by Quadrant and AnTuTu





Not bad aih?!!

Dude.. Where u bought it? I went to the shah alam hq. They hav no stock

Bro.. It's cheap if RM30. Just now I went to Summit USJ branch. After several times travel around Klang Valley at last, the pouch that I have been waiting for. They took out the stock. Then I asked the price. They said RM 60! I was like........ Huh? I asked them twice still RM 60. Then I said to them, my friend bought it for RM30. I went to your HQ yesterday and they said the pouch is abt RM 39 as same as what in the CSL Facebook page stated. They keep saying can't be.. Can't be.. Duh~

I dont mind if i cant get rm30. But please. Rm60 is too much bro. At least stick to rm39 will be ok for me. Trying to fry me ar. Pfff..

one day and a half for me. On 3G when just i needed. Brightness was set to Auto. To be honest the battery is excellent though. It's using TFT screen + dual core processor. So of course its energy saving if compared to Amoled Screen or single core

I think the most feature that I love the most on this phone is, It is dual sim. And it never experienced signal loss for BOTH line. I used HTC Sensation XE b4. Signal drop almost frequent. Demn frustrated! Thank god this phone is problem solving.

Guys! please be noticed, When u wanna buy this phone it comes with 2 screen protector IN THE BOX. Or else u might get cheated. Only the pouch they sell it separately. Maybe bro Cranky can update unboxing item list on the first page.

Unfortunately u can't.

Guys, just an update to Earpiece issue.

I have done test using four of my earphones.

1. CSL OEM Earpiece (Comes in the package with this phone)


2. Samsung OEM Earpiece (Comes with Samsung mobile)


3. UrBeats by Dr. Dre (Comes with HTC Sensation XE)


4. Audio Technica ATH-CKP300 Sport Fit Earbuds


With CSL Mi501 earphone, there would be no issue at all. Talking, listening to music, etc is just nice and it is functional. But of course the sound quality is just so-so. On the other hand for, Samsung and Urbeats Earphone, they failed to function although they are the same 3.5mm headphone jack. They have fast forward, play button and microphone for hands-free calling.

For Audio Technica, which is a normal earphone (without buttons & microphone) is functioning without any problems.

Its mean that for hands-free, you can only use the CSL earphone?
For listening to music, I think there is no problem if you want to get a decent earphone later on.
The issue here is just for a earpiece with hands-free functional

And I am glad to share with all of you how to wrap your earphone without tangled up

1. Weight of the phone is abt the same as Ninetology Stealh.
2. Back cover surface is Red Matte Finish. I honestly don't like the colour too. But the problem solve if u buying a pouch for it rather than u spray the back cover.
3. The battery is RM50 value and u can get it from the official CSL webstore

If you still doubt why don't you go to the CSL Store to tested out. Then you will satisfy with whatever your decision later. Bear in mind, every phone has its own issue. My sis is using S2. Constant hang is common for S2, but ppl still buy it because it is Samsung. I previously using HTC Sensation XE. HTC is having issue of lagginess because of the heavy Sense UI they come with. Both phones are from well known established company, very popular, higher spec than Mi501 with dual core also. There are no such as perfect phone. Feel it yourself, think wisely, and you will never regret later on. Cheers!

I am one of the proud owner of it. Budget phone with better spec. U can read thru the thread. I've put benchmark review too. The benchmark is better than LG 2X, And almost the same as Galaxy Nexus. And please! Check the first post. There you will find a link for a seller selling it with RM600+ price.

I bought my phone from him. He got a very high positive feedback. And don't worry, Lelong also have their protection policies to avoid buyers from getting cheat. Otherwise you can buy it from local shop in Sarawak. It's your choice.
