personally, i think this will be the phone i'd recommend to anyone who wants to get a new sub rm1k phone. i'm assuming on the price, of course...

reason being: SD625 is actually quite decent. it can run many games just fine. new SD 600 series processors are actually quite powerful. it's got 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. plenty for many.

and more importantly, the OS. i'm not those that like stock Android but i'm also not a fan of MIUI. so, with this, i think it's good trade-off. i prefer stock over MIUI.

the only thing is... got microSD? i dun think so... but some reports say there is...?

SD650 vs SD625...

i'd go with 625 anytime. 14nm... is more efficient (power consumption wise.

650 is hex core: 2 + 4.
625 is octa: 4 + 4. i think i like this better, though both cores are of A53, whereas 650's dual core is A72.

625 does lose out slightly on GPU. but, it's marginal, i feel..

but this phone... compared to redmi note 4x... the battery so much smaller.

dun mean to be rude or anything...

but any links to anything official? so far, what i saw from Xiaomi... no mention of microSD.

Agreed.Bought one this morning.Delivery next week.
Stock Android experience.
Pure Android Nougat out of the box.
2 future updates, Android Oreo and Android P and
free unlimited cloud storage on Google Photos.
With all this, I think it a good bargain.

that bit... actually is available to everyone... there is a limitation to the size of the image, but iirc, it's equivalent to 16MP camera or sth like that. which is more than what most ppl would have anyway...

Google Play Music should be able to scan local audio files once you launch the apps. I have a few audiobooks and even whatsapp audio and Play Music detected them.

did you grant the apps permission to access your storage?

note: i'm assuming Play Music should behave same way even on other phones -- i was checking the apps on my honor 8 Pro

this is where u r... not so right about ALL mi phones got this.

their high end phones don't support microSD. example: check out mi6.
