So you're saying theres no community for custom roms on the x600?
Mason Reed
Just to add, I'm not bashing xiaomi, I love my redmi 3, but now that I look at the x600, it seems like a better deal than the redmi and letv seems like a decent brand too. The fact that they've released marshmallow updates for all their devices is pretty nice in my opinion, considering most Chinese brands don't provide any updates at all.
Benjamin Morgan
I may not be updated, but still MIUI cusroms is still 5.0. Just one step ahead of Kitkat.
5.0 in general is clusterfuck. I would flash a Kitkat, or 5.1 Lollipop, but not 5.0.
Jace Moore
The rom I linked, for the LeTV x600 is miui v7, not v5.
Also there's an official update from LeTV to marshmallow so I don't get what's up with all these people claiming there's no updates since it ships with Android 5.0
Isaac Richardson
Yeah there is a changelog. Admittedly they completely ignored lollipop but here we are with the latest Android.
Essentially the company you're pushing is unproven. Xiaomi is well known enough to assure community support at least.
Colton Thompson
>the company you're pushing is unproven They may still be relatively new to smartphones, but I wouldn't call them unproven. Community support may not be as big as xiaomi, but it's still there with AOSP, CM, and MIUI roms, as well as mods and other shit.
I can see where you're coming from though, but what's your thoughts on the x600? Compared to the redmi 3 (non pro) since they're the same price.
I'm just curious why it's not recommended as much as xiaomi since I've seen anons buy other Chinese phones from oukitel, leagoo, umi, and blackview in the spg and csg, but not LeTV.

Ryder Morris
I think you misunderstood the context of the post. I'm arguing that MIUI is still stuck on 5.0. Just one update ahead of Kitkat.

Are you sure?

Like?

And my battery life :^)
Jack Clark
Then you would be wrong. Are you sure that's your argument?

>Great build quality >Reliable >Support >Cheap >Never have major weak points, these other budget devices will have terrible camera and over exaggerated battery life >Dedicated community supporting user suggestions and custom ROMs >Large variety of products and polished ecosystem >Established brand and not some startup with hit and miss batches of phones
And LeTV is not bigger. Xiaomi dominate China and India

Forgot my screen. MI4.

Other than the large variety of products, how is xiaomi better than LeTV?
Redmi 3 and redmi note 3 are notorious for having a mediocre camera whereas the x600 gets praised for it's camera. It even has ois, 4k 30fps, 1080p 60fps, 720p 120fps recording. Can add my xiaomi phone camera do that?
Michael Gonzalez
Xiaomi is recommended more because it's more well known. Hell. chink shit generals start with Xiaomi mascots.
My personal thoughts?
Hardware looks fine. Software support needs to be proven over the long term.
I have a MI4 not a Redmi so I can't really compare directly. At least it seems to have better build quality.
Kevin Brown
LeTV sounds like a TV brand that uses the reddit prefix 'Le' instead of 'i' (from Apple) to name their products :o)
Luke Ross
Apart from this one device what other devices do LeTV have that are better? They're probably selling it at a loss to gain market share. Its not viable in the long run
The MIUI cusroms for non-MIUI phones are stuck on 5.0.
Cameron Brown

>3000 mah battery.
Yeah no
Michael Gutierrez
Not everyone buys a smartphone for it's camera. I have a DSLR with a proper lens for that.
Austin Kelly
No 3.5 mm audio,
Mason Rogers
You lost me. Your thread is about leTV vs Xiaomi phones.
Why are you talking about the MIUI rom on non-Xiaomi phones?
Angel Torres
But that is 5.1.1?
Blake Scott
That's not op, I am.
Some guy on reddit was getting ~5 hours SoT, which is enough for most people to last a day.
While you're right, you forget not everyone has a dslr and their smartphone is the only camera always with them
Hudson Barnes
You could look for an official ROM if you'd like.
Jacob Jones
Impressive battery life actually!

Yes using it right now actually! What's up?
Cooper Clark
Because Xiaomi, at least, uses Qualcomm processors. It means that making a cusrom on it is a little bit easier.
On leTV, it uses MTK. That is why the cusroms a usually buggy (CM13), or stable, but not on marshmallow.
Kevin Carter
Not as good as the redmi 3, but it makes up for it by being better in almost every other way imo. How's it compare to a nexus 5? Mines barely getting 3 hours SoT anymore and I'm not sure I want to dump more than ~A$150-160 on a chinkphone.
William Phillips
How's the battery life?
Is the GPS as bad as everyone is saying?
Is the screen good enough for VR?
How good is call quality and 4G strength?
Chase Ramirez
LeTV also uses Qualcomm for some phones and mediatek for some.
Just like xiaomi.
Bentley Miller
Battery life is fine I can get through the day constantly using it .
Screen is really really nice but I don't know anything about VR so can't comment
I don't use GPS that often sorry!
I'm still on 3G and call quality is pretty mediocre desu
Best things about the device:
-Design and build quality -Battery life -Fingerprint Scanner -Display -HALO notification light -Stock Android 6.0 performance
Josiah Peterson
Ari, thanks
Robert Martinez
Are you being serious?
Christian Gutierrez
I find it amusing
Nathan Sullivan
It's worth it to buy Xiaomi for the relatively high quality of the hardware and developer support alone. Very satisfied with the stable CM build on my Redmi 3, and released kernel sources.
