I'd go back to a feature phone rather than locked into Xiaomi. Even with access to the Google apps it's a disaster area

- newjersey 10y agoI've never seen a xiaomi phone in person. It looks pretty good from the website. Care to elaborate about your experience?
- takno 10y agoThe phone is beautiful, but the OS is a weirdly ham fisted attempt to make android look like iOS. In the case of notifications for example they've restricted them to a single line and no in-notification buttons. Then they've added a bunch of apps that can't be disabled. I regularly get a notification that one of my sim cards (with no credit) cannot be activated, so they're trying to link to something I haven't asked for, and there's a loud daily notification that there is something called hidden folders which I should definitely want to know about. All of this is still stuck on android 4, even though the phone was released significantly after 5
- newjersey 10y agoThank you for your reply. It seems the mi 4 will get the marshmallow based miui 7 according to http://en.miui.com/thread-213606-1-1.html http://en.miui.com/thread-213606-1-1.html but clearly not for all devices especially the note. Can you get cyanogenmod or something?
