Comments on MIUI System...
Sigh hope that CM will have a ROM for this

It's sad to see MIUI don't have Google Now on tap function.
That's why I never trusted Chinese phones as the android codes are heavily modified and more often than not 80% resemblance of iOS interface which is a shame.

By the way, you can't install CM either as the bootloader for all xiaomi phones are locked since Mi4.

Xiaomi Mi5 Pro sales starts on April 6, but they will sell only 2,000 units of the device.

Good luck. 2 million users snatching for 2k units.

I don't think Mi5 Pro will ever land here due to extremely scarce.
The best is to get the 3GB RAM 64GB version.

Mi5 sale for 24999rs (rm1466) for 32gb model. Usually Malaysia jack up price RM100-200.

So for basic 32gb model we be looking at RM1500-1600 price. Now Mi also can't afford... Huhu...

What's the use? You only get 3gb ram with 32gb model.
3gb ram is so 2015 and probably not smooth enough compare to 4gb Mi5 Pro model.

I think I will aim for HTC M10 better. At least more future proof.

Brought this device from Directd few days back, Its seems that its running on Vendor Rom which contains Google Apps and a lot bloatware.

And i tried to flash China Rom Stable via Miflash , its says Device is Locked.

How to go about it.?

Bad luck. Told you guys don't simply buy xiaomi products. The bootloader no longer can be officially unlocked.
