So, the first dumb question, where is the earpiece of the phone?

Hi.
The earpiece is behind the screen. In fact is a piezoelectric "speaker" that makes the whole screen vibrate.
Whe you put the phone in contact with your ear, you can hear everything clearly enough.
Quality-wise is not the best sounding earpiece I've ever had, but certainly not worst. So not bad solution at all.
My personal observation is the developer ROM has considerably diminished "speaker" quality over the Chinese stable. I found this from talking on the stable ROM, maybe an hour or so on multiple domestic calls (USA). I flashed the developer ROM (because, apparently I get board easily), but after a couple of calls, about 10% of that I had planed, my ears were absolutely drained from the experience and I was continually repeating myself because my caller had difficulty comprehending my words, even though they were of the everyday variety. Upon returning to the stale ROM, all was good with hearing and speaking, including several calls to the some of the same people I had conversations with on each iteration. (stable/developer/stable).
I don't have "permission" to root yet, so haven't tried the eu ROM.
This, just in case someone would like to know some of the hidden differences in the ROMs.

I got the bootloader unlock sms . I would like to ask if it expires after a certain amount of time if not used?
Does an unlocked bootloader means no OTA updates for untouched CN stable/dev ROM devices?

Yes, the unlock permission expires after a month. You can always revert back to stable MiUi whether your BL is locked or unlocked. You just gotta flash the global stable update.

Thanks for the reply! I have another one.
My unlocked device will be bound to my MIUI account somehow? If I choose to revert back to CN official stable, will my BL be locked again, and unrooted with OTA updates possible?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome always! Also, if you revert to global stable, your unlocked state will be maintained along with the granted root access. Because the bootloader and root access are core files or what you'd call as components of the phone's firmware. So, flashing MiUi won't affect the firmware files. To be honest, I've never tried it so you might be doing this at your own risk, but I had a Redmi 2 and I did exactly what I told you to do. It worked perfectly for me as the redmi 2 had an unlocked BL out of the box. But this whole 'Unlock the bootloader' thingy started from the Redmi Note 3. So just be careful while doing this.

Yes, I'll be very cautious , thus the questions. Any info on the OTA updates? I assume they won't be possible for a rooted device, after flashing the CN official stable, right?
Thanks again.

Yeah, right. I don't have any idea about the OTA updates but I recently looked on Mi forums and saw a thread claiming a stable nougat update that'll roll over soon through the OTA. Also, Mi5, Mi Max are on the way to development of Nougat updates.

I think this is not quite right, as I read the Unlock thread on the MIUI site, you can only unlock one device per month. I didn't see anything that leads me to believe the permission itself expires. As a matter of fact @underlines shared that he obtained unlock permission a few years ago for another Xiaomi phone and that he was able to unlock other phones without needing to request permission again.

I just got the phone, this is the first non Galaxy Note and non carrier locked phone I've purchased. I'm wondering a few things.
Will I get updates?
How do I check what Rom I'm on?
What are the differences between the Roms and which one should I be on in America?

Hi there!
I previously told you that OTA's won't tamper with the firmware files, but while I was browsing out on some Mi forums, it seems that the explanation I gave is wrong ( for the locked devices). The OTA's try to relock the bootloader and may hardbrick the device. So, please be careful while doing anything because the Mi Mix doesn't come at a small price and plus it is a limited edition concept device.

Is there any chance of getting Cyanogenmod, AOSP, or any other Android variant in the future? Or is there something that prevents this, and keeps it locked into MIUI?

I know that the phone isnt good for gaming but I want to know how to do all those stuff.
And maybe flashing the stock firmware again with a modified kernel could help for the meantime.
If you could help be and teach me how to do that minding my android version then I would be greatful :victory:.

These are the developer options i tried yet found no useful, but you can give a try.
Go to the Developer Option> Turn On Hardware Acceleration > Scroll down and turn on Force GPU and 4x MSAA.
This method will run game smooth as it says.
But this method did not help me in anyway, unfortunately i cannot record because of the lag and desync while recording.
May i know how much ping do you get while playing.
I have an issue that the recording starts when I'm in the plane but I don't get the red magic time pop up window after tbe match is over thats why I can't save the video, can someone help me

Ok so ..
Does the Vodafone branding compromise my experience in any way? For example, it might not lock on to all bands in a frequency being transmitted from a mast, it might slow it down, it might prevent further MIUI updates, and so on?
