      So here is an update on the Mi Mix i got.

      The left hand side of the screen had a dark patch (10 x 3mm) visible in most colours (not white or black). I have returned for a refund and won't be getting another one.

      THINGS I LIKED
      - The form factor was awesome, a 6.4" screen in a iphone 7+ device is perfect.
      - Call quality, loud speakers ec are all good.
      - The OS is fine apart from google integration.

      THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE
      - The software not being integrated with google is terrible. If someone wasn't tech savvy they simply wouldn't be able to install google play and other software. I understand the Ch ine se go vern ment is probably pushing this but it really limits the phone.
      - The camera is only just average for 2015 let alone 2017.
      - The phone is pretty slippery and must have a case. Fingerprint prone also.
      - IPS LCD is pretty poor after using SAMOLED for 5-6 years. I will never be buying another device without SAMOLED as i want true black screens.

      All in all it is an interesting phone and hopefully it gives Samsung a bump in the bezel-less direction.

                I bought mix 6GB from china local market and using in Saudi Arabia. it is an awsome phone but got few serious issues and it need quick fix by xiaomi.
                -most of the time daily, it stops receiving calls even it shows 4g network but offline to caller and after restart it start working for few hours. then i tried many things finally I set it on 3G network only instead of 4G and turned off VoLTE function. now i have not experienced same issue from last 3 days.
                -call voice from screen is very poor need some improvement.
                -slow start, 3rd party clocks does not update with system.
                -video does not rotate if I rotate it in video calling messengers. like tango, imo, justalk, skype, etc.

                Hoping these problems will be fixed sharply specially first one.

                    Finally got Google contacts SYNCING ... Under installed apps I set every permission on every Google app to allow... I then installed Google Contacts sync 6.0.1 (not the latest) and finally it showed contacts under my Google account...

                    NOTE TO XIAOMI... your boot up screen says powered by Google... I know this is a Chinese ROM phone but it REALLY SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD TO GET GOOGLE APPS AND CONTACTS WORKING!!!

                      I used the one touch Google installer app to get my play store and everything else google on the Mi Mix... HOWEVER... i still cant get my contacts to sync across... i have installed the latest Google Contacts Sync 7.1.1 and resynced the google account with no luck... any ideas?

                        My Mix 256GB turned up today so i have had 4-5 hours to play with it. Previously had a GN7.

                        Initial thoughts are.
                        - WOW that screen is amazing. Sure it's not AMOLED (blacks aren't as nice but whites are better) and its only 1080x2040 but the size is simply great. The resolution difference to the GN4 is so tiny it's hardly noticeable.
                        - Build quality is simply first rate as are the looks but the edges are slippery. The leather case that comes with it looks and feels great.
                        - Setup is a little painful. Even after you select English at the start you still get plenty of Chinese characters until you can install play store and a normal keyboard.
                        - Installing google apps, play store is a process. As soon as you select English the OS should give you the option to install google apps as standard. Still haven't got contacts coming through yet.
                        - performance and battery life are first rate. Charging from 20-80% took about 1 hour... its a big battery
                        - The camera is nothing flash which is the biggest downside.
                        - The whole OS and appearance isn't as good as iOS or Samsung but its pretty polished.
                        - I think i still prefer a front fingerprint reader but maybe i will get used to it.
                        - The ear speaker is better than some of the on-line reviews made out.

                        Will give a more detailed post after i have used it a bit.

                                    This is my type of phones. So big screen and so compatible phone. This phone is much smaller than Lenovo Phab 2 Pro, witch also have 6.4 inches screen.

Would have been nice to have a better camera but the 6.4 inch screen (and 256GB) in the body of a 5.5" iPhone won out at the end. Previous phone was a Note 7,currently on a Note 4 so it will be interesting.

Especially if you are in the USA. I wanna know if the 4g lte is really affected or not quite affected. I have never owned a flagship, but pretty sure my phones were top in the mid tier segment. I am fine with an ok camera, more concerned about overall features/functions, battery, and software.
