      Anonymous, 01 May 2015so why using android if you are 'not into google ecosystem?'.Don't be fucking daft. Android in its stock form is the only viable mobile operating system that allows source code access and actual ownership of your device instead of the other way around. You can actually block domains at layer 3 on Android with a HOSTS file so that you aren't pulling someone else's ads (or spyware) over a throttled mobile internet connection that you are already paying too much for. These smartphones are portable computers, and underneath is either a BSD or Linux kernel.

                  Bob, 30 Apr 2015Isn't the Snapdragon 810 prone to throttling due to overheating?Yes, it is.

                    I wish xiaomi start to use the new intel atom x7 on mi5, I really like Qualcomm but I don't think that they can deliver a 14nm snapdragon any soon

                                    And... ? Why fuc.k with storage and removable batteries ?

                                    Add that too, and prove you're a true Chinese company: By providing ALL features (and the most important ones BTW)

                                      Xiaomi have a good targeting for smartphone. Mi5 plus don't have sense because of the Note Pro.
                                      Maybe a new Redmi note.
