nice!! is there a high end phone with this kind of specs?? (battery + screen size) that would be the bomb.

Usually may 20% mark up ang official xiaomi sa lazada, so more less nasa 6k ito pag official release. Pwede na rin.

P5,000 when converted. Yung mga gray market sellers na pupunta sa china para bumili niyan at iuwi dito papatungan pa, pag binenta nasa P8k na. Ibang klase. Yung low cost marketing strategy ng Xiaomi nawawalan ng saysay dahil pinagkakakitaan nitong mga sellers na to. Ok lang mag patong, wag naman masyado.

Does the capacitive buttons have backlight kaya? The previous Redmi phones have none.

Yygatech, can you help figure out what is going on in Xiaomi PH.? Looks like the Facebook page is not being updated since November and there are devices that have been stuck at the service center for a long time. Is Xiaomi just downsizing or abandoning the country?

just email se****@xiaomi.com and get updates thru their chat support(http://www.mi.com/ph/service/online/). yung mi pad ko december 5 pa nasa aikontech. ilang beses na ko nag-follow up laging dahilan no parts available. nung january 6 nag-email ako at nag message sa chat support ng xiaomi. ayun sila ang nag-follow up. tapos lahat ng updates naka-email sakin. kahapon tumawag na si aikontech pwede ko na daw ipick-up yung mi pad ko. sad to say wala kasi pakialam ang mga service centers nila kahit abutin ng ilang buwan sa kanila ang repairs…
