    Xiaomi should hire John Legere for their keynote, seriously.

    Some of the details are quite impressive. It seems some Xiaomi staff had a really good vacation from the pictures they shot with their Mi5s. Almost feels like they kicked the teeth in on Apple’s/Samsung’s face in some aspects with their designs…and the price is quite a bargain too.

          Indeed 2016 will be a great year. Now I just want to see what Meizu and Asus will pop up so I can choose a phone .
          As for Oneplus, I really don’t expect much. But if Xiaomi launch a 5.5 inch of this phone, I am done!

    As one of Xiaomis biggest fans, I obviously followed the Chinese presentation at 8:00 AM CET. I love the design (it weighs just 219g and is nearly bezelless!!!) and the new features, The pricing is also really competitive.

    1999RMB: 32GB + 3GB Xiaolong 820 1.8GHz

    2299RMB 64GB + 3GB Xiaolong 820 2.15GHz

    2699RMB 128RMB + 4GB Xiaolong 820 2.15GHz

    Usually phones with 128GB storage cost up to 5000RMB as you can see on the pic bellow. This Is gonna be a day one purchase when the phone launches on March 1st. i already preregistered on mi.com for sale.

    I havent seen the MWC Keynote, Are they really gonna release it officially in EU???????????
