What do you think about Chinese mobiles

[Fassou]

The truth is that this Xiaomi seems like a bad beast, the only thing is the updates issue <:(

And since you're looking, you can include in the list of "indispensables" that we are starting to have 64-bit software with the arrival of Lollipop, although there is no difference in performance, for the moment.

You already know, whatever it takes to make your decision easier :troll:

Congratulations Cobito, very good purchase, enjoy it. Don't think it won't work well in 3D. You can't really put very demanding games at full power, but it helps that the screen resolution is "normal" and not high like the top models. Lower resolution, easier to move ;D

Neptune, the Red Rice is available with Mediatek and Qualcomm, and the 4-core performs better than the 8-core in this model, so I suppose it will be the same in the Note. Note that they first released the 8-core and then, for issues with updates and more power, the Qualcomm. At least in the Rice I know that the Qualcomm came to perform 20-25% better. I suppose it will be the same in the Note. They are basically the same phone (at the micro level) the Rice 1S and the Note.

Well, I'm actually more scared of companies like Sony, Samsung, etc. when it comes to updates, because I've been able to study a certain movement in the MIUI world and the great performance that the damn thing gives.
Plus, using Snapdragon it seems like it will be easier to get other types of ROMs, but focusing on their official part, I'm sure the 5.0 version will arrive because I'm seeing that almost all companies are doing a lot of marketing with this issue.
Of course, Motorolas and Nexus are 100% upgradable because Google gives them such direct support (normal, it's theirs xD).

Well, even in the GPS issue it seems that the Snapdragon performs better... something to keep in mind, if with my phone I almost throw it out the window one day when I had to deal with it and it works very well, I'm sure with the Mediatek one it will end up on a roof :llorar::ugly::ugly:

I decided to buy a mobile phone, this post gave me the final push ;D In the end I ordered a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G, for about 183€ (delivered at home)…when I have it I will tell you.

The truth is that it has a screen a little bigger than I would like, but as I use it a lot to watch videos and TV, I will appreciate it.
I am eager to tinker with MIUI, the V6 (based on Kit Kat) is near!!...

I must say that I was tempted by the Moto G2 and the BQ Aquiaris E5 FHD, but I leaned towards the Xiaomi :ugly:

I have already received the Red Rice 1S and I am delighted. The only problem is the battery life, it lasts me only one day without using it much. I lowered the processor frequency from 1600 to 1200… what a sad underclock for a mobile phone jajaja :osvaisacagar: but otherwise, I am delighted. Another problem is the 1GB of RAM, 2GB would be better, but that's what there is. For the rest, since I only use it for whatsapps and little more, I have more than enough. I think it cost me 129 on Amazon, I preferred it for warranty reasons, but there are imported ones from China for less than 110. I have been surprised by the quality of the camera, with good light it takes good photos. I don't ask for much since I am an amateur photographer and use Reflex, but a decent camera for occasional photos is appreciated. Neptuno, the phone you got is like mine but bigger and with double the RAM... besides, it came out just now, the previous one was a mediatek octacore, this one is better. For the price you bought it at, I think there is nothing like it on the market, especially because Xiaomi, with a contained price, is one of the best Chinese brands. The Moto G 5" is very good, but it only has 1GB of RAM, yours with 5.5" becomes somewhat big to be true, but if you are going to use it a lot for browsing, videos etc, it will end up hooking you. It is clear that it is not a Samsung Galaxy Note, but for less than 200€ it is a very good mobile phone.

I'm glad you are happy, the truth is that it has a very good price and offers very good performance. Certainly you will see that MIUI runs very smoothly and is one of its strengths, in addition to a fairly well-known processor (you have set it to the frequency of the Moto G :-P). Aesthetically it is very sober, very square and it doesn't have backlit buttons on the front panel, but these are things that are forgiven for the price and performance.
In addition, Xiaomi is becoming a company of great reference in Europe, after having worked very hard in the Asian market, where it enjoys enormous fame.
We should put photos of our phones, eh? Jejeje. Anyway, you will tell us how the Moto G and the Red Rice 1S are going

The Xiaomi Red Rice 1S without 4G, with 8Gb and 1GB of RAM for 129€ on Amazon.es (shipping included).

Although some comments are quite negative :mudo:

Salu2!

I bought it from the seller: Lumen 2014 on AMAZON and everything is perfect. I know that some seller has given "some surprise" by sending a fake phone, but there have been few cases, and if that happens, it is returned for free and you get another one or you change the seller.

Here is my seller: Xiaomi - Red Rice 1S Smartphone 8GB, 1GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 Quad Core 1.6GHz Processor. 3G, WCDMA - European Band, 4.7" Screen with 1280x720 px Resolution. MIUI OS in Spanish, Dual SIM, Unlocked Phone, Grey. - Electronics - Amazon.es

The phone took about three weeks to arrive.

You can buy it for less than 110€ on other websites, but the Amazon guarantee has a price. In my case, I preferred to pay a little more.

The phone had heating problems in some units that Xiaomi has already fixed with new software, although I have not even installed it because I use the phone little and have not noticed it getting hot.

And for those who want something bigger, the Note that Neptuno bought with the Snapdragon 400 and 2 Gigas of RAM has an incredible look, and more for its price. My phone runs very smoothly, but I understand that if you use it a lot for games or heavy programs and want something better.

I think, as you rightly say, an update came out to fix that problem. However, I can comment that if I play or use the GPS on my Xperia S, its processor (Snapdragon) heats up quite a bit... I don't give much importance to that detail, to be honest.
I find it more annoying when some Mediatek don't work very well with the GPS and don't give you a more or less exact location, which is what I have read quite frequently on certain phone web sites.

I also bought a Xiaomi Redmi 1S in June or so.

It cost me €108 bought at the store PRCFROG.com through a group purchase on htcmania.

To be honest, for now I consider that the quality/price ratio is very good and I would buy another one.

The cons I find are these:

• The battery lasts little. With normal/intensive use it lasts 1 day just. If you don't use it much you can be 1 and a half days quietly.
• The "back", "home", "tools" buttons are not illuminated
• The multitasking is a bit green due to poor memory management. You can open an application and press the home button to not close it and open another. When you return to the one you had left in the background it has to restart it (not always).
• You can't put the mass storage mode (use it as a normal pendrive). You can only connect it to the PC via MTP, there is not much problem in PCs, but I ran out of the deal of watching movies on TV by connecting the mobile to USB.

The good things:

• The screen has an excellent touch and good image quality
• 8MPixel camera with decent photos and records FullHD video
• The wifi has very good coverage
• MicroSD memory card
• It comes with utilities as standard, perfectly integrated with the OS such as: record conversation, black list of numbers, "do not disturb" mode (very configurable), …
• In general it moves very smoothly, without getting stuck between applications or in the launcher.

If there is any more question, ask!

Regards!

Yesterday I received the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G, after 2 weeks of waiting I finally have it with me. I am very surprised with the fluidity of MIUI (4.4.2), the touch of the screen and how well it looks. The "back", "home", "tools" buttons light up, to my surprise and the battery seems to last a long time since in the first 24 hours I had spent 52% of it (all this taking into account its initial intensive use ¬¬).

The worst thing is the weight and how big it is, that is something indisputable. However, the issue of weight does not seem flagrant to me either since I have had the Redmi Note and the Redmi 1S in my hand at the same time, personally I did not notice a big difference in weight :troll:

Anyway, let's see how it behaves!!;D

My phone has broken and I had to urgently get another one and I bought the Moto G (2gen, dual sim), it looks good and I will keep you posted, for now with 4.4.4 I hope it doesn't take long to update to Lolipop (which is already on the Nexus 5). P.D. For now I'm loving the stereo sound

[_Neptunno_]

I came with 4.4.2 (Miui V5) but I already put in version 4.4.4 (Miui V6), it's a "developer" but despite everything it runs very smoothly and stably.
The good thing is that every Friday they release a revision, which is appreciated.

I'm delighted with "my brick" :ugly::ugly::troll:

[Clipper]

hello everyone
I'm between these two phones, let's see if you can help me decide;D
http://es.234buy.com/elephone-g6-mt6592-1-7ghz-octa-core-5-pulgadas-hd-ogs-pantalla-de-android-4-4-3g-smartphone.html

or this other one

http://es.234buy.com/cubot-x6-mtk6592-octa-core-android-4-2-2-wcdma-tel-233-fono-de-la-barra-w-5-0-ips-otg-16gb-rom-wi-fi-gps.html
it doesn't have to be from this store, in fact, the Cubot is much cheaper in others
the use is basically going to be making phone calls (little :facepalm:)
WhatsApp
internet
and applications like Oruxmaps / Strava
and above all taking photos, which is very important

between the two that are practically the same, I would opt for the cheaper one (money is money)
which also has the fingerprint reader (which I see as a bit useless but well...
while the Cubot has more ROM
the G7, which is around the same price, doesn't seem to have anything outstanding except that it's an 8/1.4 while its little brother the G6 is an 8/1.7 (cores hertz)
that's it;D
goodbye and thanks for the help

I am looking to buy the No.1 S6i, it's a Chinese clone of the Galaxy S6. In this review they say it's good for the price it has: http://smmart.es/reviews/no-1-s6i-clon-chino-samsung-galaxy-s6/

Is it a good idea or is it better to go for one that is not a replica?

[Bm4n]

I would go for something original, copies are only sold for the look.

In the meantime, I received a Huawei Honor 6 Plus, what a great phone, Huawei's Chinese range is better than the European one, just look at the P8.

[Clipper]

well finally a G6 fell on me it lasted less than a day :facepalm:
a silly fall from my pocket to the floor and …. screen dead :eoh::eoh:
I sent an RMA and it arrived a few days ago
for now I'm delighted with the phone and the leather-like case ;D
regards

[mauro905]

well I once bought one and I don't recommend it because they often come without the playstore installed and then you have to look for the Play Store APK … a total mess
