The vpn is more important now because China before never blocked google play, they just didnt allow it to come installed on phones sold in China. Now, they actually block google play so you need to be on a vpn to get through to it.

Removable battery is really important. When time comes that your phone freeze, you do not know how to turn off your phone or do not know how to fix it. That was happen to me once, i wait my phone to consume the battery until drain thinking that when i turn it on, it might fix but i was wrong.

Sorry the mi4 comes at a price premium hello name me another phone that you can get with that build quality for that price I although their is a mark up outside china I think the price of £278 - £303 for that level of spec and price in the UK is amazing. Maybe the one+ is cheaper but it dose not have stainless steal
