Throw it in le garbage

>fHD screen and Octa core 2.0 Ghz processors for peanuts..
Suck a dick.

Except for the customer support part, i'd have to disagree on all of your points

I have a redmi 3s, it has an unique design, has weekly updates (hell, even the 1s still gets updates to this day), and the botnet problem was on chinkawei and other chinkier brands

Keep it m8

I'm very happy with the phone. It's fast, the screen is excellent, camera is good, fingerprint unlock works flawlessly. Doesn't crash, doesn't lag.

>$157.99
Can't beat it.

Great phone, MIUI ks sleek, but has some bloat. Otherwise it's perfect.

When I went to unlock the bootloader though, I had to create an account on a chinese forum and submit an application with my reasons for it - 10+ days waiting time. Pretty shit experience.

Also I recently wanted to get the Xiaomi Mi box 4K, but reviews show that it can't even handle 3840*2160 @30Hz, so that was a no-go.

Also software updates are generally sparse on their stuff.

>loooook, only chinese put botnet into smartphones

that's the dumbest argument ever, all smartphones are botnet capable

just because there were recent news about it, doesn't mean they won't trade the botnet information on western information traders again so everything leads to the same root

Is it worth having two at the same time though? Burgerstan all ready records all my gay porn history to give me personalised ads to bad dragon. Are all of youse proud that you don't have to mail the Chinese government all your personal data on a flash drive every week or something?

well straight porn can hardly compete with Jesse Starr, tyler moss or shinywarm...anyway - i m on d edge 2 buy a Mi Max.... the fact that its chinese scares me coz basically it has no warranty and the 40$ no-name chink phone i bought once died in 2 days

>buying no name
>not buying from Chinese Apple

there's your problem right there

what will i do if the mix max shits itself after 2 days of use? send it back 2 china 4 warranty lol?

moto g4 or redmi 3s?

>mix max
The mix is the bezelless device, the max is just a phablet.
Or you can repair it yourself, not like repairing phones is difficult at all. Actually the most difficult part of repairing phones these days is finding the parts.

Don't forget no support.
My redmi 3 pro just died and I couldn't get any warranty for it

You wouldn't get support with any other devices unless you bought additional care service (ie apple care). The only way they provide additional care is if the device does something like blow up, or was clearly their fault (ie the back isn't coated in brushed aluminum like all other versions).

Not true. By law everything here comes with 12 months limited watch. If any other device had shit itself in such a short time frame I would have been able to get it replaced easily.

Try not living in a Third World country you fucking idiot.

Have you actually read your warranty or what it covers? They do everything in their power to ensure that what happened was your fault. Screen broke? Your fault, pay $150 for a replacement. Phone won't turn on, you clearly did something, pay to replace.
The only actual differentiation point between chinkphones and western-branded chinkphones is the short ~14 day return period.

I can see someone's a little upset though, I don't know what for we're just discussing warranties. Either seek anger management help, or refrain from spending so much time here on Sup Forums, it clearly isn't good for your type of personality.

>physical damage
Yeah, because that's my fault.

If the device fails on its own though, I'm covered.

Once again, stop living in a Third World country. Warranty is painless here in aus as long as you didn't fuck the device with your stupidity.
>broken screen
>wanting warranty for user damage
Kek, what an idiot.

If you even consider using chink shit, you are fucking retarded.

aren't thinkpads chink?

or is that alright because they're thinkpads?

He means chinkshit, not made in China products with good quality being sold by reputable brands.

Xiaomi is shit. I gave them 2 chances and neither phone lasted a year.

they do use scratch resistant glass though

If you want a good budget phone just buy from a reputable brand like Asus or Lenovo.

Xiaomi cut so many costs on their devices and put in a hardware backdoor.
>inb4 muh botnet
Yeah I wouldn't usually care either, but this is shit you can't get rid of by installing cm and that bothers me.

hold out the mi max user.

true borderless phones are on the verge which will make you drool even more and come to various markets

*mi mix

god damn that name scheming..

Never buy Asus

Why not?

Bad software support. Custom ROMs and stock.

>mfw niggas buy a phone overseas and import it stateside and expect their warranties to be honored

Lol what a retard.
