The Official Xiaomi Thread

Just a quick question, do you all buy your covers and screen protection from Chinese shops like gearbest? Or is there some local place I can buy? Ordered myself the Mi5.
Get the local stuff as a quick fix. Then get the fancy from Aliexpress.
 
Sorry to hear, BM!

Zasstra has the digitizer and screen for R165.99 and I think someone else in here said they have ordered one a while back, if I am not mistaken. I have not used them yet so I cannot vouch for them. You could maybe take the device and the part to a local cell shop to see if they could install it for you?
 
I saw a post on the MIUI forum app on my note 3 that MIUI9 is coming soon. Anyone else saw that? Cant find the post now. Wonder when dday is?

Not for the note 3, I've gotten a screen for Note 2 and the cell "repair" shop managed to break it completely :(.
I've emailed them to ask about the Note 3 screen as it might be the 150mm one but no reply.
 
Anyone got a Redmi Note 4 screen protector. Mate dropped his phone. Screen protector is caput.

Will pay for protector + shipping.
 
Have any of you come from a Samsung Note 4? Wondering what phone from Xiaomi to get next that will be similar in size but a decent upgrade. Otherwise I'll likely go the OnePlus 3T route

I am coming from a Note 4. I chose the OnePlus 3T, the size is not bad, and the specs are damn good considering the price. I just ordered the 3T yesterday
 
Better make haste on the 3T then, they are not producing anymore what you can buy is what's left in their warehouse.
 
I had a Samsung S6 edge. It twas a lovely phone but I only got half a day on battery. Got a snapdragon note 4 and omg this is an effing upgrade. 2 days of battery. Plus I play pokemon go with no overheating. Happy as hell. Xiaomi devices are amazing.

I came from an LG G4 to a Redmi Note 3, the shock of having a battery that lasts is amazing. My only gripe is the screens are really fragile.

After S4 and S5, I went to a Redmi Note 3 and have never been happier. My only single gripe is that the Samsung's have amazing camera's while the Xiaomi's are average but I have learnt to quickly play with settings to up the brightness and get the shot.

Xiaomi Camera's are fine, its the Software that sucks.
 
Ok, my Samsung Note 3 is now on its last...
When is the mi6 hitting the shores?

Or, what is the latest and greatest? and how does it compare to the Oneplus 5 in terms of its camera?
