Nice phone for the money.
Be better if kernel source were released so the xda wizards could
do some development.

Already own this. Enhanced version.

do we know if this device gets official MIUI V6 or KitKat in general ?????

MIUI 6 for sure.

This is indeed a nice device.
One question does this device has screen protection such as Gorilla Glass or Dragontrail Glass like Redmi/Hongmi 1s?

Doesn't list it in the specs. Just says it is an IPS-LCD Screen.
IPS stands for in-plane switching. An IPS-LCD is a type of thin display that offers better viewing angles than TFT-LCDs. IPS-LCDs feature two transistors for each pixel, where TFT-LCDs use just one. This requires a more powerful backlight, which delivers more accurate colors, and allows the screen to be viewed from a wider angle. The downside is that an IPS-LCD may consume more power than a TFT-LCD.
IPS-LCDs typically are found on high-end cell phones and portable devices. Apple's iPhone and iPad both feature IPS-LCDs, as does the Motorola Droid.

where can you buy the 16gb version?
i found the 2gb ram version here but it says it only has 8gb
with regard to the 2g/3g it says it supports:
2G: GSM 900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 900/2100MHz
does this mean i would get full HSDPA speeds on the Three network in the UK like i do currently with my Galaxy Note 1 (N7000)

No

May not get. It won't take time to do so for them. When indian companies like xolo did for many 1 year old phones immediately after release, why can't Xiaomi?

http://en.miui.com/thread-67454-1-1.html
All Redmi phones will get MIUI 6 developer version and stable version; We will try our best to release some beta versions by the end of Dec. 2014

I think the device is pretty great for the price tag.
Got some really nice specs of you ask me.
Works great in general use, web surfing with chrome is butter smooth and sweet gaming performance as well.
My only hardware issue is with the camera, despite being a 13 MP camera, it's pretty lame, but still you can get "okay" photos out of it.
And yea Btw, blame Mediatek for the source code. [emoji16]

Review on the 6gb variant! Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1

The performance is the same as the 4gb variant, very very slight bhenchmark performance margin difference.
So basically you are paying 2k extra only for more megapixel camera. Ram being only a cache storage to store apps temporary, it doesn't make a difference as 4gb is enough to run many apps multitasking lag free. I'm not a camera freak, I'm content with what camera the 4gb variant has to offer (waiting for a proper bug free Fota though).
Good that I didn't wait to buy the 6gb variant. I saved my money and time as well!

What u said is exactly right..
I also checked related threads about 6gb variant nothing's more except the front camera ....and better than Redmi Note 5 pro

Wait for few days for retail unit reviews. Ram does not make phone faster it just keeps more apps in memory.

mine got delivered today

Please inform about the rear and front camera sensors used in 6gb variant.

Hey guys, I am planning to buy Zenfone Max Pro M1. But I am really confused between RN5 Pro and M1, solely because I find a lot of ROMS and customisation in the RN5P forums which looks really promising but at the same time, with a humoungous battery, dedicated SD card slot and 2 years of promised updates, this device seems like a treasure for its price. Could you guys or devs please help me with my decision as to which phone I should go with. I am a flashoholic, therefore i need a phone which is highly popular among devs and has many custom ROMS/Kernels.

Sounds like Redmi Note 5 Pro is for you, since base MIUI sucks and people usually just unlock bootloader and flash another ROM to it. I heard they did something in the recent update of MIUI so that you can't reroll back to the previous build, so flashing it the instant you got the phone is a good idea.

Should I wait for 6/128 version or just go with the 4/64 one?

From a technical standpoint, I don't think 2 gigs of extra RAM is gonna give the phone a 20% boost in performance, but is 64 gigs enough keeping in mind no expandable storage?
I'm coming from Redmi 2 Prime with 16gig internal, but I have a 32gig SD which is almost filled all the times.
So what do you say - should i wait for the 128gigs to come?
Also, for my Indian friends, can anybody guess the price of 128gigs? I'm thinking under 20k probably.

@iamsubhranil
no need to guess the 6/128 model price, it's already listed for €283.78 at gearbest but I personally think there's no huge difference in performance as android 9 will use ~2,5GB RAM and pixel 3 XL will even come with 4GB, right? howevery finally it depends on usage, for playing games Mi A2 might not be a top deal, I read it's getting hot. for my daily usage - web, email, fotos! - the 4GB model is perfect.

I own the 6/128 model while my brother has the 4/64. As far as I can tell, it rarely makes a difference, such as when engaged in many apps (We've tried with Snapchat, Facebook, Whatsapp, Camera, and Google Photos. It was a minimal difference but I have to say that the extra storage with cloud functionality is awesome. I wonder if I can root this Android One model of the 6X.
It's not getting hot in my opinion, unless it's charging. It goes well beyond 50 degrees, which is kinda toasty. I have tested the thermal issue as such: Pokemon GO with max brightness and 4K-30FPS max brightness. The phone got a bit excited at start but in the end it managed to keep itself from overheating without reducing performance that much. As for the camera... I am a bit disappointed since I was expecting something a bit better than the A1 but it seems to be pretty much the exact same. I can do some sample photos of everything if anyone is really interested.

As it's been for a long time (computers, laptops, etc), the extra ram won't increase performance. It ** Will ** perform better if you open many many apps at the same time.
Do you do that? If it's necessary for you to, then wait. If not, then don't.
The extra storage is soooo subjective. I don't create or use huge files. If I did create huge video files (as an example), I'd use wifi and upload to some cloud storage, when possible. But, some people may be doing multiple vids in a short time and don't have the opportunity to upload... so for them it may be worth getting the 128.
It's not really a mystery, if you have ever run into storage limits (say with a 64), then get the 128. If you haven't before, you probably won't now.
I too wish the Mi A2 had an expansion slot, it would be nice. But is it a necessity? Not for me it's not. I could use it for years and never have it affect me.

If you can wait then get the 6/128. If you need the phone right now then buy the 4/64.
It all depends on what your requirements are.

In that case will hold till cpu bug fix before buying.
After all for this price range it feels good.

I returned mine after a month of use. Wasn't happy at all with it.

This is why people rooted there phone it actually helps if you can control the CPU.

I almost bought the A2. After reading about the bugs in the A2 held off.

That looks nice, only question is the price. I got two A2 from Amazon at 202€ (4/64 black) and 194€ (4/64 gold), with Nokia I'm not sure I could remain under 400€ for two phones. My dad needs a new phone, if the 7.1 plus is at a reasonable price I'll get him that and say bye bye to Xiaomi.
