nope. not china version. was bought from midvalley xiaomi shop in years ago....apparently my sister complaint the camera, hack, and the ads (mainly news)...now i get it back and going to flash it if possible...

I luv xiaomi phones.
cheapest for the spec.
and best of all, no ads at all.
ads only shown to sohai ppl, luckily i not sohai ppl

Ads aside, another big issue with Xiaomi is their updates quality.

Often time they’re late and unpolished.

dulu can but getting more and more difficult to do so.

even ATM withdrawals can use your phone instead of your ATM card.

with MyDigitalID coming soon, not sure if it will be safer leaving your banking phone in your drawer or to have it next to you at all times.

unless you want to carry two phones, not sure if you have any choice.

Once a long time ago, a major xiaomi update disabled all notifications vibrations and sound. My parents kept calling me ehh why my phone no ring wan why I keep getting missed call only. Headache man have to make a trip to see them to fix it.

I installed Xiaomi security cam at my grandparents home for my parents to check on them. Every month the app will disconnect and I have to go over and reset and reconnect the whole damn thing.

Buy two phones void the whole point of buying Xiaomi phone, which is to save money because its cheap. Buy two phone might as well buy one iphone or samsung.

This is China product that rip off tech and downgrade the hardware with their software intentionally. Why complaint?

same applies for any smartphone, epal or android.

dulu zaman sms, you can tie your banking phone number to a dumbphone and leave it inside a drawer somewhere.

then you only use the dumbphone for authentication when you do secure online stuff. and you can watch cat videos in peace on your "smart"phone.

now banks force you to tie your token to a phone, so you don't really have much choice.

I'll buy honor before I ever buy Xiaomi ever again.

Just a personal preference la, yes the transfer speed in phone is slower
but some just prefer a slot for it, same case as 3.5mm jack, or infrared sensor those functions

u guys cant brain the importance of separate device

because it can be turn off most the time.

no device is safer than a dead one.


like i say, if u dealing with lots of money
u will do the extra step

like i say

not all user understand IT


ur iphone can turn off after using banking apps??

no, because u have only 1 phone

Kau ni bodo ke apa…the smart phone can do it now because it is much more secure now thanks to iPhone…

Otherwise, you need to carry another bank authorise device for vertication.

Bodo lah kau ni…

Uncle millions RM cash in bank has been doing like this for long time.

Please stop confusing other.

Uncle don’t know what the heck his is trying to create but his input is totally off. People should actively check their mobile phone security and change password frequently if it is important.

For important Data, please do not back up in external SSD but only back up in clouds to avoid data breach.

Please stop doing more harm…you are breaking other people by feeding false information.

Are you part of the scammer group?

Are you here to trap/find victims to myanmar?

Red flag 🚩

there are two reasons why this is not practical anymore

1) frequent app updates means you WILL need to operate that second phone, not just leave it off until you need it.
2) approvals, alerts and ability to lock down that account is usually tied to that phone, so yeah, no longer a passive device you can switch off and forget until you need it

on the plus side, some banks allow you to use the phone for your atm withdrawal approval so you can get rid of the atm card. license, mykad coming soon means your phone will become your id, like it or not.

sauce: personal experience, used to have a second phone number in a nokia phone just for banking, it is just not practical anymore the closest you can get nowadays is the public bank securetoken thing.

dulu yes, when SMS was used for 2FA, nowadays increasingly more difficult to do so.

so u guys only use real id on internet.


i dont need to explain futher

why multiple device.


is complicated.

Last time device verification only can be use by business accounts…

Now device verification for all.

Uncle guess you probably 30-40 age…usually these group are much stupid and cannot accept the facts of IT/internet service…

Kesian you

But, don’t do scammers…be a useful guy please
