I was looking at the 4/64 Snapdragon, of course. I might as well not cheap out.

Asking alichinks for a sealed box seems like it'd be trouble.

It's also cheaper there. I heard absolute trash about banggood and tbh I had a fucking terrible experience with them too.

i just got it unsealed and i think you can wipe + reflash MIUI on day 1

on day 3 you can flash whatever you want

as long as you apply for unlocked bootloader

Yeah, I'll be doing that too.

Also, how well does Mi Mover work?

Figure if I'm going from Mi to Mi, I might as well make use of it.

@Sham why not get the Mi A1?

Anuuuu

Hygrometer+thermometer, and a zippo vape bottle arrived

I should probably check the specs for it, but it's probably because I'm familiar with the redmi note size and shape. It's very comfortable to me.

So you prefer big phones or small phones?

the Mi A1 is a rebadged Mi 5x with stock Android

so they're the same shape

it's promised to have 3 major Android updates straight from Google's balls

Oh, they have different bands as well.

only slightly

better camera, better dac and different bands

Both check out here.

Is the ROM customization looking good?

it doesn't really need it since it's vanilla android

I don't think the A1 has a huge market for it

the 4/4x have Lineage

4x has shit dac though

i use it every day and i don't really mind because i take public transit, but listening to music in a quiet room is awful

Implying I don't normally use my PC for that.

I'd like an A1 tbh

They both seem good, and they're physically the same size which is good.

it's nice to see a Xiaomi phone with no shred of chinkery involved

That's implying you can trust google.

you cant trust anyone really but you have no choice

damn those britbong deals are cool

the £4 backpack?

m o t h e r f u c k

I missed a day on my gb point collection

had a 25 day streak

what, the 5x and a1 have different cameras?

really?

no, they're identical
