I would say the same, I remember Xiaomi said, from MIUI 7 onward, most phone are locked bootloader, which require 30days to get the code to unlock it. So can't direct flash vendor rom or something else risking bricking it.

Otherwise, just have to sideload the PlayStore.. sweat.gif

Playstore could not be sideloaded since Lollipop as it is a core part of Android system due to ART implementation.

You need to flash it on a unlocked bootloader.

The international Mi5 launch event is really silly, still using screenshots with Chinese words inside.

Really silly, no standard at all... at least use screenshots with English words on it la

Most of the China users critisize the phone while the westerners on the other side are giving praise. Quite ironic. sweat.gif

What did the Chinese complain about?

For potential Mi5 buyers out there, if you hate the ugly "black bezel inside screen display" problem, please do remember this, go for the black color. Don't buy the white and gold color.  because.......see the pic below.

So ya. Their so called slim bezel is actually not a real slim bezel. doh.gif
Yup, sounds cheated by them...

But the back button still placed on the right. This is enough for me to look for other phones that have back button on the left.

to be frank, despite Chinese OEMs keep on releasing good phones like this Mi5, it's still lacks status because of the word "cheap" when I discussed with few of my friends.

we hardly seeing any CEOs, businessmen, rich guys using Xiaomi, OPPO, Huawei etc. Most of these people either use iPhone, Samsung, HTC, Sony because these are establish brands and there are few times more expensive than Chinese phones which at the same time also carry status.

similarly, no one will buy a Proton if given the car with Ferrari specs selling at RM70K. People which needs status when meeting clients outside will still get an Audi which cost RM250K even if that Audi specs is lower than the Proton.

for me, since I am in business line despite liking this Mi5 very much, I am hesitate to get it.

sad but true and this is the reality.

I think the interface would be the same right? Pictures, videos, multi-tasking? I am not that interested in the outer-built though, not gonna pay extra for the ceramic!  cool2.gif

then no 4GB RAM as only ceramic version have it.

but i doubt they will bring the ceramic version to Malaysia.
