FAQ

Q:How are things going with autonomy? How long does the battery last?
A: That's all well and good. Not Redmi of course, but enough for a day. By the evening of active use (messengers, browser, youtube) there remains about 20-30% of the charge. In auto-brightness mode, you can count on 6-7 hours of screen operation. If you play - depends on the resource-intensive games.reasoning / experience

Q:What's up with the screen? They write that it has some kind of mesh, diagonal stripes, points ...
A: Indeed, some see diagonal stripes, if you look goodphoto strips / photo of the matrix under the microscopeThe vast majority of users do not interfere with the use of the telephone at all.

Q:You see small black lights around the bangs, so it should be?
A: Yes, everything is in order. It is impossible to make absolutely uniform illumination on the curved edge of the display.

Q:Is there really a problem with the wifi signal strength?
A: Partially. Not critical. The signal drops are tightly close the upper part of the body with a palm, there are antennas there. In one way or another, this is characteristic of many smartphones.Read more

Q:Does the 40 MHz Wi-Fi band operate in the 2.4 GHz band?
A: No, only 20 MHz. This is an old Qualcomm sore, there is no fix on our phone. In the 5 GHz range, there is no problem: link 433 Mbps.

Q:Is there enough 4 GB of RAM? Or buy for 6 GB?
A: Enough. At the moment, no one complained about the lack of 4 GB. With normal use of the phone from 4 GB free about 2 GB.

Q:Are gestures supported by a fingerprint scanner?
A: No. And it is unknown whether there will be support in the future.

Q:Are microSD cards supported?
A: Yes. The phone has a combined universal tray: either 2 nano-sim or nano-sim + memory card.

Q:Is there an infrared port on the phone?
A: No.

Q:Is there an NFC phone?
A: Not in the Chinese version, nor in the global one.

Q:QC charging included?
A: No. Included is a normal charge 5V 2A.

Q:Is there autofocus in the front camera?
A: No.

Q:Is out of the box access to Camera2API open?
A: No, access is closed on both MIUI 9 and MIUI 10. Presumably, the Camera2 API will be activated on the expected Android Pie - this is one of the Android Pie certification requirements.

Q:Is there a notification LED?
A: Yes. Top middle over the speaker slot. Small and monochrome (white).

Q:Does the recording of phone calls work?
A: Yes, it works without third-party applications. Will work on Android 9 - not known.

Q:Updated to MIUI 10 and missing some icons (including the alarm clock) in the status bar. How so?
A: So the manufacturer conceived, fewer icons in the status bar, look for notifications in the blind.

Q:Can I turn on the display of percent charge?
A: You can, this is chosen by topic. Or in the settings: Settings / Notifications and status bar / battery indicator.

Q:How to determine when buying a version - Chinese or global?
A: In the "About phone" settings, see the version of MIUI: MI is global, CH is Chinese.Read more

Q:Does the display support allways display?
A: No. This is a chip exclusively AMOLED matrices, and here IPS.

Q:Screen Gorilla Glass?
A: Not known for certain. Xiaomi regional manager at a presentation in Ukraine said that there is Gorilla Glass 5, but this is not specified in any official specification.

Q:Are there any problems with the microphone?
A: Three users hear clicks on audio message, video or voice recorder recordings. So when you buy it will not be superfluous to check the microphone.

Q:Does aptX work out of the box?
A: Yes, it works. Verified No gestures do not need. If SBC writes about connecting the ears, then the problem is in the ears.

Q:How fast does the QC 3.0 charge?
A: 1 hour 50 minutes - from 0% to 100% of the full charge 5 V 2 A.
1 hour 23 minutes - from 0% to 100% of the original QC 3.0 charging Xiaomi (in 25 minutes exactly 40%, and in 40 minutes already 69%)

Q:Instagram stories are displayed incorrectly, cropped around the edges. How to fix?
A: Not yet. This is an application problem, not a smartphone. Wait and hope that once the authors of Instagram will fix ...

Q:Does the complete adapter with a Type-C to 3.5 mm have a built-in DAC / amplifier?
A: No. Passive adapter. D / A amplifier built into the phone.

And the positioning in it, too, with high accuracy, as in the flagship?

[batis_ru]

We would add at least NFC and the device would become more interesting, and the Pocophone f1 completely loses even though it costs a little more.

Poko F1 is damp (but it is treated), and mi8l pulls out due to amoled screen and design. For those who do not need the top dragon, light for 230 bucks the best offer

[soccer87]

20stars, and on a gizpot without problems it is possible to order?

[20stars]

I will order in a week, I will say. But there is a delivery to us, it should be all without problems.

[soccer87]

20starsI also want to order immediately at the exit. On Ali, the price tag is inadequate

[avcherkasov]

20stars @ 09/21/18 09:28

and mi8l pulls through amold screen and design.

Ips there.

[avcherkasov]

What advise you to wait or take huawei p smart + (nova 3i)? They are very similar in appearance and characteristics.

What advise you to wait or take huawei p smart + (nova 3i)? They are very similar in appearance and characteristics.

And it depends on what priorities.
Like miui and convenient gesture control, the relatively easy possibility of installing root is xiaomi.
I would like to work out of the box (I’ll have to install Google services), I don’t need root (because it’s very hemorrhaging to get it on the Huavey), no gestures are needed - huawei.

Ali's price tag is now inadequate for him, it even goes a little more expensive than the SE version. And this is not the declared price tag of 200 bucks.

[u238]

Taking into account that the camera on it is exactly the same as on the mi8, it will become the cheapest cameraphone with a premium camera. Although it is not clear yet the optics and stabilization from mi8 will go over. Ready to take just because of the camera.

Sorry, hde? Everywhere IPS is specified. Yes, and amold, as mentioned above, for 200 is not for sale.

[soccer87]

Yes, and there is no price of 200)

[annstavceva]

soccer87 @ 09/22/18 11:12

Yes, and there is no price of 200)

So it will not be at the start of sales :)

[soccer87]

annstavceva,
On Alik under 300)) this is generally not adequate

Pre-order has a price tag of 250, the color is only black and 4 + 64 memory

[soccer87]

annstavceva,
Will wait. It would be desirable not black, for the spouse.

[Satiya]

I ordered it yesterday from goldway, I'm waiting for it when they send it.
Of all the worlds I made the first order, so awkward: (

[ovk163]

Zawe,
Now I ran the search on Ali, the lowest price is for goldway, almost all large sellers have a device. Sales, all 0 !!!!!!!
Don't worry, goldway is one of the best shop s. Guaranteed everything will be fine.
Reviews appeared on YouTube ?.

The main thing! As usual, at the exit of the novelty, the price is overpriced as much as possible !!!, I personally observed this on PH5, Рђ2, a couple will pass, three months and the price will be adequate.
Now ROSO is on sale for 18 ............... today,
