Gusto ko sana yung Mi A2 kaya lang wala siya ng LTE Band 28 at yung other bands na gamit ni Globe at Smart..

Sa mga nagtatanong bakit walang earphones na kasama ng phone, may binebenta ang xiaomi na separate ear phones. Mas mura pa din kesa sa ibang brands. Matagal na nila ginagawa yan dati pa, hindi na po bago wag na magtaka.

Walang expandable storage ang mi a2. Basahin at i-verify naman ang article bago mag-upload, misinformation ang labas niyan.

Bakit hindi madala ang 128gb variants sa pinas? May problem ba sa dti registration? Ang tingin ba ng xiaomi walang pambili ang mga pinoy? Ginagawa lang ba tayong tapunan ng mga unit na hindi mabili? Sana mag-explain ang xiaomi bakit palaging base models ang napupunta sa atin. Since ginagaya nila ang apple stores, gayahin din nila ang apple sa model distribution.

Just so you know Vaughn, the phrase “there’s a catch though” pertains to something negative, something unwanted. Totally the opposite of a price drop.
