        Its not always about that. A little while back. My two friends had the exact same phone. One friend was holding the others phone while his was in his pocket. He put the phone he was holding on the table then proceeded to dive into a pool.

          @altomic: now you are drawing a long bow. What I and others were asking is not beyond what other phone manufacturers managed to do. Which is make a phone splash proof / water resistant.

          Wasn't that always the argument. Having the phone back sealed and battery non user replaceable so they can make the unit splash proof / water resistant (within limits of course)

          I'm with you there xoom.

          If they can make $300-$400 phones splash proof like the Moto G5+ ( seen dunked under water and still

          working afterwards 100% ), then other manufacturers making phones selling for $400-$600+ should strive to do so too,

          otherwise their sales will start to drop unless they pack the phone with other good features ).

      Yeah i think so, just wait for that one. It seems like shopmonk is trying to clear these phones out, hence the price drop. Plus the Mi Mix 2s is probably 50-80 dollars more than this price so why not wait for that one?

      • Doge on 17/03/2018 - 14:04
        +10

        Considering the first deal for the Mi Mix 2 was $735AUD you're kidding yourself if you think it will only be $80 more. It will be more like $250 more than this price.

        • SDF05 on 18/03/2018 - 13:10

          Actually now that i think about it, yeah, expect the price to be around $700-800 AUD.

      • BudgetAce on 17/03/2018 - 14:11

        Totally agree with Doge above. When the Mi Mix 2 came out it was already AU$700++ the new Mi Mix 2S won't be anywhere near the $500 range.

      Maybe their eventual plan is to force consumers onto Bluetooth headphones the way Blu-Ray player manufacturers forced consumers onto digital audio receivers by discontining RCA audio jacks.

      • SDF05 on 17/03/2018 - 13:57

        That's what they trying to do. They've already gained a huge audience, so i guess they thought why not force their BT headphones with the removal of headphone jack?

        • Diji1 on 17/03/2018 - 14:13
          +2

          Unless you can point to something like Xiaomi sells large amounts of BT headphones you can't say that since removing the headphone jack increases battery life when using audio playing to headphones and some people prefer to use wireless headphones.

          Apple already owned 40% of the BT headphone market so in their case they easier to point at.

        • Jackson on 17/03/2018 - 15:19

          @Diji1: the truth is Apple did this to sell more headphones, every other company that removed a headphone jack is just copying Apple.

          I would be interested to know the percentage of Apple phone purchasers who bought earpods in the same purchase as a phone, judging by the people on the bus it's a lot.

        Oh man i'm not going to take a freaking adapter everywhere i go now. And the headphone jack existed to let you charge and listen at the same time, so you have two ports. Removing the headphone jack makes it either listen or charge.

    I have the 128gb model of this device. Beautiful design absolutely fantastic device with brilliant value. Running Resurrection Remix 6.0 based on Android 8.1 it's stable and fully featured (other than a weird bug with the call history in Google Dialer). I paid $630 AUD for that so this is a bargain. 10/10 though there is a bit of fiddling around to do if you don't want to run MIUI and the camera isn't up to scratch.

        There's a few on the net I believe. No different than installing other ROMs.

        You need to unlock the bootloader (which is a pita), then root and install custom recovery then flash the rom and gapps 8.1. that's it really. I'll find the link for the forums.

        Edit:

        How to root and install TWRP custom recovery: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-xiaomi-mi-mix-2-root…

        Just note to alunlock the bootloader you have to apply for it and then wait 3 days once that's approved. It's a real bastard but the phone is pretty good once you get that working.

    Headphone jack isn't an issue for me, got some Xiaomi ANC earphones that are USB-C.

          True, but you can't deny the use of the headphone jack in OnePlus 5T compared to the lack of headphone jack in the Mix 2. That is the dealbreaker between these two phones.

      I own one of these and that is actually genuinely a problem with it. It's also in the bottom right so all the selfies you take with it are from the the bottom left (because it flips the image). Most custom roms and MIUI allow you to physically turn your phone upside down though and change the orientation without any hassle; but camera through apps like in Snapchat and Instagram don't do that (unless you enable system wide 180° rotation)

    i am using a black 128GB version for nearly six months now, recent android 8.0 update gave it gesture back home multi task key control, which is not very friendly at typing word selection at the edge but i am able to use the device without any of the soft keys. over all package is great, but I assume the nearly 95% screen Mix 2s with dual camera would be out within two months after announce in 26th of this month. I would hold my $$ and see how it racks up. You will have to content with top right hand side camera corner… but hey , still better than bloody iphoneX in terms of looks. i would love to have the camera at lower rhs instead.

    Still if this phone is at AUD 400 level once Mix 3 is available in mass, it is very attractive package compare to other brands.

    Hi all,

    This phone looks super neat. Found this version for a little more:

    Questions..

    1. Cn/china version. Seems an easy switch to get google programs added, any thoughts or experience on this?

    2. The seller, any experiences?

    Cheers.
