This phone definitely getting momentum in the market

the phone size is to big for average consumers
xiaomi should made it 6inch max with minimum bazel.
if the size is 5.7inch im sure they will win the market

they already have other model with 5.7 inches for average consumers. There is tonnes of phone at 5.7", take them if they think this phone is too big. Just my 2 sen.

This phone is for those who wants a mini tablet. I use it as my video player on the go and in my car - superb. Its screen is even bigger than my Kenwood HU with 6.2" screen. The extra large battery that can only fit in such a large chassis is also another star feature of this phone.

Agreed... a bit big.....

I have Note II, HP9Plus, Asus Memo Pad 7.0 and surface..... this lies between P9Plus and Memopad, scare of drop using one hand. Try to fix in the car as GPS and infortainment console.....

really love the design with speaker at bottom part of the phone

wonder what price now in KL???

u can get it around rm1199

can agree, bec we really hv no idea, like what u imply, whether the authorised seller is really an authorised seller whereby warranty is cover by xiaomi, since we never read anything that xiaomi is now embark on selling their phone via dealer or reseller or whatever off line. personally i prefer to buy from whoever that could offer a lower price, if term is similar.

i still deem rm1199 is on the high side compare to china and india pricing. thus ap set still remain a option. caveat emptor of course.

Hi, I for those who bought the Malaysian model, I would like verify if the Malaysia model retains its TD-SCDMA bands? Written in the manual/box/settings maybe?

Coz I'm looking to use it for frequent travelling to China.

ALSO, is the gold model officially here, or only AP?

Thanks!

It's available for RM1,099 on Qoo10 with a coupon discount. I would have gotten it but I'm not a big fan of MIUI

from Mi. HK web site:

2G:GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz (B2/B3/B5/B8)
3G:WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz (B1/B2/B5/B8)
4G:TDD-LTE B38/B39/B40/B41 (窄带 100MHz)
4G:FDD-LTE B1/B3/B5/B7/B8

Black is international version. Gold only for China I think.

Just use other launcher. Yes, MIUI is getting fatter and bloater, hopefully the MIUI 9 is slimmed down significantly as they promise.

MIUI 9 release today?

I think only for 5x & 4x for now. The rest will grt it on 20++

Thanks for the response!

Yea, I noticed the discrepancy.
Frequencycheck.com does not distinguish china from global model.
Similarly, Xiaomi Malaysia listed Network Compatibility as:
GSM: B2 / B3 / B5 / B8
CDMA: BC0
UMTS: B1 / B2 / B5 / B8
FDD-LTE B1 / B3 / B5 / B7 / B8
TDD-LTE: B38 / B39 / B40 / B41
TD-SCDMA: B34 / B39

Thats why want to verify with someone who owns the phone at hand to somehow check.

I've asked Xiaomi but they did not answer me.

Found out that supported bands will be written at the label at the back of the box.
Could an owner of the Malaysian model kindly check for me please?

it should write TD-SCDMA somewhere if it has that.

UPDATE: Managed to take a look at the box at the shop, and find that the Malaysia model does not support China 3G... Only China 4G.

Now I would like to ask the inverse, does the global rom China import model support local malaysian 3g & 4g with no problem?
