this is my first mtk device, i tend not to judge a device based on benchmarks core alone. but this device performance has not disappoint me so far. build quality is not bad, doesnt look cheap. its lighter than my previous phone, all-alumium M7. and being able to have expanded memory is great. removable battery is also an added advantage (i bought an extra battery). battery life so far seems better than my old M7.
after installing all my apps, im left with 600mb of system storage. i dont have any large apps/game installed - clash of clans, pvz2, etc.. thats my only gripe.
if you cant live with 4gb internal memory, this phone is not for you. you can try lenovo p780, but its heavier.
and im also not using miui launcher, i dont like it so im using 3rd party launcher.
i heard rumours about the successor to hongmi, a 5.5" 1080p hongmi 2 soon. i hope the storage will at least be 8gb.

so how far do you guys think about the hongmi? nice to use so far? battery issues and lag issues?
