2008bangkok Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 My next phone will a a Xiaomi MI Max, looks great at about 10k, every one things that if you aint spending 20k+ for a phone then its crap but the reality is thar Samsung/Apple juts have alot higher profit margins, apparently it cost $200 per handset(inc manufacturing and marketing) and the rest is profit.

Mine too. But I will wait until the 4GB RAM/128GB ROM option is available here. Should be sufficient for the next two-three years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 But it's a 6.4" monster, I would not call that a phone but phablet or whatever. I think 5.5" is about max for me on a phone, I uses a 5" now and it's okay but has my sights on Infinix Zero3 that is 5.5 and 3 gb ram but are waiting for more reviews first. Use a 8" tablet on the patio at the house and that is near perfect, I can't say the name here or I will be shot down in flames. Sorry a bit off topic.

Apple & Samsung spend zero on R&D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I bought the Xiaomi Redmi note 2 as a inexpensive ($125) entry into the Xiaomi environment. 2gb/16 gb memory and will take up to 64gb sd outboard memory, 5.5" FHD display. So far, after 4 months use it has been flawless. It took me a while to adapt to the Miui 7 interface and there are some features of it that I do not like. For instance, I can not make my favored Google Music Player the default over the built in player. I promised myself I'd use it for at least a year, then I suspect I'll go for one of their premium models. I love the specs of the recently announced MI-5 but it is a 5" display and I much prefer 5.5". The Max is just too big. I tried a 6" Lenovo for 6 months and it was just too large and cumbersome. One wouldn't think .5" would make that much difference, but it does for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
