Yeah this looks like a nice first try for this brand but not quite good yet and definitely not enough to beat the Razer phone. At least the price is great.

No msd slot and definitely not enough internal space
Only one speaker
No 120hz screen
18:9 is not optimized for gaming, plus the phone looks gigantic with those useless bezels
Ugly design, they definitely exaggerated this gaming theme
And of course no headphone jack

    ugly bezels..

      Kiyasuriin, 13 Apr 2018Your idea is interesting actually. But you DO undwerstand t... moreWhat have size of device to do with simple hardware component and software tweak to switch power directly from charger or battery? DO YOU know how it actually work?

      I can list you all component if you want, it would be small list of one microchip, few resistors and capacitors and all that will take about 4x4mm space or even less if you implement it in existing power controller on device. put beefy capacitor for filtering and DONE.
      As for software aspect, medicore programmer could implement that in few hours if not minutes.
      Rest of filtering or additional safety controller would be in charger. But it would not be needed honestly.

        So this basically is a 845 with a controller attachment and a hideous design. Doesn't seem to be anything meaningful to make it a gaming phone.. or phone for gamers. Unless they think it is enough to just slap it in a black and angular chassis and call it a day.

          Imperator Neubaticus, 13 Apr 2018It kinda looks badass. It is probably going to sell more well than RAZER with their RAZER phone, since XIAOMI have an advantage on the camera, no doubt it is better than the latter for the camera even with my eyes closed

                    Indeed. These frame rates 60/50 FPS are fairly smooth. I mean in Osu!/Opsu! If you get below 50FPS high cance you'll have a game over

                                  any way I have MINECRAFT on may tablet and I tested the max frame rate and it can be pushed up to 240fps (maximum of 60fps on phone the 240fps is only available fo PCs) so I turned of every back ground app and I tested the fps between 30 to 60 you can see the difference but when reaching 50fps I can't see the speed of the frames
                                  I am not sure about the 120fps but in my experience 50/60fps is quite fluid

What he's saying is that when battery is fully charged, phone should circumvent it and power the phone directly from mains to avoid degradation of the battery.
