Don't u guys wish Mi5 had QHD screen instead? I wonder why did they go with FullHD only.. does the Pro version have QHD?

i don hope it will around that range...
i'm more optimistic, i hope it will be below RM1.2k haha...
if Redmi Note3 SD version next month really ~RM800 for 3GB ram + 32GB version...
then it might be true... Mi5 could be around 1.5k after conversion...

Hi Guys,

Still no new on when MI 5 is coming to MY? my current note 2 lags like hell dy... cannot tahan liao...

wow... it cos 400+ for additional 32GB internal storage space...
BTW i think for MIUI 3GB is not sufficient to do a good Multitasking job behind...
i remember someone told me the system took 1.5G at start up...
so multitasking with a lot of apps might be a challenge...

look at Samsung S7/S7E which lags behind on Multitasking speed test with HTC 10 or others...
it clearly shows that if the system takes too many RAM on startup...

i think it really shows that Mi5 might be OTW here by June...
since all AP sellers drop their price already by now...

Still the only option for cheap SD820 or did I miss other. Just wait SD823(overclock) out sure SD820 phone drop price kaw2.

Ahh. I think most lelong merchants are trustworthy. My concern is more with the courier service, parcel loss, damage etc. They don't cover if the goods is damaged in the process of delivery or the parcel got lost somehow. I know the chances of that happening is probably not that high... But still. 2K is not a small number for me.... 

Anyway, I have made the purchase via lelong... The merchant will ship with GDex and I have paid 2% extra for GDex ELC to extend the coverage, in case of any mishap. Otherwise normal coverage is up to RM200 only...

Should receive item on Wednesday if all goes smoothly

Flash global rom

yup.. if not available in malaysia then 64gb is good enough maybe.. using 16gb nowdays not enough.. spotify alone uses 5gb of space..
WOW! your mi3 still uses miui? no issues on ram management?

LOL i bought my Mi5 32gb. White one. Damm i love the build, very light and the sides looks similar to Note 5, the metal and curve. Will update more when I really try it.

LOL, if your mom doesn't play game it's okay, I face lag when play certain games. 

yup.. cyanogen is very gooding compare to miui.. plus the themes for cynogen is better to me than miui themes..

Somehow using global ROM, the battery is very consuming, 1.6gb RAM is consumed by MIUI. Maybe one of the reason is I on 4g the whole time. However, it's understandable that global ROM has been removed from MIUI website because its not stable, I guess I should flash back to MIUI China first. And one thing, the battery charging is superbly fast, though it's kinda hot when charging.

I tried using both my Mi3 and Mi5 camera in my room with low lighting. My Mi3 appear on my phone as pretty bright, but Mi5 more to yellowish, don't understand why.

Fingerprint scanner is fast and easy (though its not exactly convenient for the need to press the home button to activate it.). Phone is light and nicely curved, the sides design is similar to Note 5 though    White colour looks very nice and clean, hope i doesn't scratch it that soon though I already put a case on.

Overall, the phone is pretty good for me now. Take note that it's a budget phone to begin with, don't compare exactly with S7 or Iphone and you're all good. 

Funny thing about China phones are they never bother to upgrade the Android as per Google 18 months update mandatory. If Google proceeds with listing out the bad manufacturers list, the top section surely will be filled by China brands.

Just surf over MIUI Global site, you can see their game.

If Axon 7 selling in US. High chance of the things get unlockable BL and Custom ROM unlike Xiaomi forever cant sell in US, and have to rely on European/India developer.

The current line of mi products aren't apple like tho. Not like a few years back. I think the only reason  they haven't expanded to the US is because of their manufacturing can't keep up? Always their flash sales stock gone within minutes especially in China. Now they expand to India and other regions. More money to be made over here before moving on to the US.

actually did you guys think this phone is worth to buy ?
mi 5 pro 128 gb

Um no...mi5 no Sd card that's why have 3 storage options.
