I'm looking for a new phone with good specs and good price, will be Xiaomi Phone good choice ??? It will have 1.5 GHz dual-core CPU, 1 GB RAM, and good price- 310 USD (215 EUR)

Hey it's Steve Jobs presenting a new iphone.. and look, he's demonstrating how the phone doesn't lose signal no matter how you hold it!

Specs are nice but i don't know.. will it have good support?

It freezes alot in the video xD

Chinesse phone....not good materials.....worst support
[XPERIA X8 General] Sira.:
it Depends on the materials basically ..

And chinese materials .. Suck the most ..

specs are Very good actually

But i'd go for a Proper benchmark ..

Like HTC ..

HTC is actually Very damn good .. :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Nikkopt:
Just because it's a chinese product it doesn't mean it's bad.

They can have good and bad stuff like any other country. Take apple for ex, lots of apple products are made in china with chinese materials. They were just designed in the usa, which of course also chose the materials they want in the product.

Most crappy chinese products are made by chinese companies with no experience, they just imitate something that already exists and use cheap materials so the prices can be low.

But you also have good chinese companies who prefer to waste a bit more money on a r&d department and quality control and produce way better things..

We just have to see what kind of company they are :p
[XPERIA X8 General] lovex8:
This is a phone from China. I don't know how is its quality. Maybe like M9.

It's really cheap(compare to others).

In China it will be 1999 yuan.But I can't afford it:(. One of my classmate want buy it.
[XPERIA X8 General] lovex8:
I don't know the how is the materials,but the support of xiaomi will good. Because it run MIUI .
[XPERIA X8 General] fifo171:
why ??? look at ZTE Blade. it doesn't have good materials, but it has froyo officialy and it's officialy supported by CM, i hope that Xiaomi will be officialy CM supported too :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Nikkopt:
Engadget has a hands-on preview: http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/16/xiaomi-phone-hands-on/

The internals are made by foxconn (same company that makes the internals for apple devices), it's not necessarily the best company at the business but it's also not a cheap factory, the screen is manufactured by sharp and seems to be a tad better in sun light than the average lcd screen. They also said that the phone feels surprisingly solid. Software still needs some tweaking..

Let us wait ;)

[Epic 4G General] hardrock121:
is it worth it to get TEP on our device?? u pay $8 per month and theres a $100 deductible.. considering you paid $200 .. within 1 yr 8*12 =96+100 you ended up paying for the device.. again..
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
I have TEP on two Epics in my plan, and I'm seriously considering dropping it altogether. You can get a used Epic now for not much more than $100 and the price is dropping all the time. If I get to the point where I upgrade to a new phone, and my Epic still works, I'll definitely drop TEP and just keep my Epic around as a wifi device and a backup that can jump in to replace any other phone that goes bad.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
Yeah, I don't see the cost being worth it. It's one of the reasons I'll never understand screen protectors. It's $20 for a sheet of plastic, and, as I understand it, $35 to get the screen replaced if something DID happen.

And, tough this is a side point, seeing as the only reason to protect the screen is to keep it pristine and occlusion free, putting something on it that causes the exact thing you're trying to prevent makes 0 sense to me. If I had a nickle for every screen rendered virtually unreadable by the protector there to make "sure" the screen remains perfect....

Edit: and I dont even mean after they've half peeled off, bubbled up, etc. They make the phone look like a dimpled mess, which also gives grease/makeup/grime places to "hide", right out of the box.
[Epic 4G General] lazydazed:
You only pay 100 if your phone gets stolen/lost or you fubar your phone... which in 4 years I only had to pay that once, when the phone went flying out my window on the 405.. but because I use the crap outta my phones, I've had probably in the neighborhood of about 15 replacement phones in the same amount of time...

Figure 15 replacements @ an avg of $250 = $3750

Tep payments at $8 for 4 years = $384

Difference between the 2 = $3366

I'm keeping mine 4 ever!!
[Epic 4G General] Orbiting234:
Thank god for this open enrollment! Screen went dark purple (eventually black) on my Epic 4G the other day and I was able to get enrolled and phone replaced. Only minor hiccup was that the refurb I got was one with a partially blown rear speaker. Thankfully taking apart the two and taking the good speaker from my old phone was a piece of cake.
[Epic 4G General] aimless6poet:
this was a life saver! shattered my screen so I took it into the service center without knowing I could add TEP - I added it and walked out with a new phone (ok, a refurb) for just $8 (well... if I cancel it in a month... can't decide)

Same here with the keyboard, I come from a long line of qwerty phones. It would be an adjustment, but id sure welcome a nexus s.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagelicious:
I would consider the EVO 3D, Photon, or the Nexus S 4G at this point. I've actually been using a loaner NS4G for a couple weeks and while I do like it, I feel it has a few shortcomings. Most of them I was aware of beforehand though.

I miss the LED light to indicate when there's a missed call/text etc. You can bypass this with getting a special kernel which can allow you to activate the backlights for the capacitive buttons, but under flourescent lighting at work its sometimes hard to spot that.

Also there's no SD card so you are stuck with the 16gb of internal memory. Not necessarily a huge issue but for some people it could be a problem.

Samsprint already issued an update to fix wonky reception with their radios. It sorta helped mine out but it still doesn't seem to match what I was getting with the Epic. That goes for 3G, 4G, and wifi. Kind of a bummer actually and this is what sours me the most on the phone.

I haven't actually seen a Photon yet but after reading one of the threads here on the Epic forum about it, I would love to try it out. It sounds like the battery life (with moderate to heavy usage) is amazing. The only way I get decent battery life with the Epic is to turn it into a dumb phone.

The EVO 3D was actually a lot more impressive than I thought it would be. The 3D can cause a headache at first but once you find the sweetspot the 3D pictures and videos look amazing. It blew me away. My coworker has one after upgrading from the first EVO and he gets better battery life with it and he has the same apps and same usage patterns. So it is very tempting.

All in all there are a lot of good phones out there and its just a matter of preference and what you are looking for in a phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
I'm going to have to recommend the EVO 3d. I was first concern about the lack of keyboard, cause I came form a long line of quarty keyboard phones. After the first week I no longer think about missing a keyboard. As far as the screen goes, the Epic is brighter. But the 3D is far more sharper and crisp. Sense 3.0 is a far better launcher then touch wiz or any other launcher currently in the market. Battery life on the 3D is 100% better then the Epic. Boy how good it is to, not have to worry about finding a AC outlet.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sand1303:
I would say just about any.

I am an htc fanboy so I would have to vote for evo3d which I have now. Even the original EVO 4G was a way better phone than the epic. Has it ever received the gingerbread update?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiftr182:
I went from 5 months on the Epic, had an Evo temporarily, and now Nexus S. The Nexus is by far my favorite, I plan on staying with a Nexus from here on. There ar things I miss about the Epic, but having a phone that you can do anything with is worth giving those things up. The Nexus flies stock, and you can run MIUI, CM7, stock, modified stock, the devs are close to porting Sense, and if you want they have tw4 available. I am using a modified stock rom right now and love it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someguy1984:
Really? You think the original evo was better than the epic? I had one and really didn't like it at all. Battery life was not as good and after a while it really started lagging with anything. When comparing to games on your phone the epic absolutely crushes the evo in my opinion. I'll also never be able to go back to a basic LCD again. The super amoled has me forever ...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iModMM:
I had the epic but bought the evo 3d. I loved the epic! But its no more longer the best on the market. It has a single core, all the phones now have a dual core. I love the qwerty keyboard on the epic! i miss it so much! If samsung made a 1.2ghz dual core, super amoled plus screen, qwerty kb, better software. Id deff buy that phone in aheartbeat. Love the epic. It deff was one of the best phones out. Best single core! Its so underrated tho! They never advertised it, it was never in the media. Thats why everyone thinks evo 4f is better than the epic bc sprint practically sponsored it! Epic never made it to the media! I'm now an owner of the evo 3d only for the devolopment, and love it!

-3D EVO-
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sand1303:
Yes someguy, I think overall the EVO was way better than the epic. I never really play games on my phone so i can't compare that part of it but as far as running wise my EVO was always super smooth. I played with one or two epics and noticed lags here and there. I love sense so UI to me is totally more appealing than Samsung UI. Lots of people loved the epic but look at the support it got for gingerbread. Everyone has personal favorites though.

+1 on the Evo 3d for any current phones out there. It specs out pretty good with the 1.2ghz dual core and 1G RAM. Admitedly, the SGS II may be a different story, since I do love the SAMOLED screens.

The 3D seemed to be a little gimmicky at first, but it is very cool. I am very happy with my Evo 3D, and guess what, HTC already updated our phones from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, small change, I know, but it still moving. We all know how long Samsprint takes for updates. The gingerbread wait was killing me. I still haven't rooted my Evo 3D, just being lazy I guess.

Does this use any more of the battery than the stock browser? I ask cause I checked what was using my battery and this was at 15%. This seems high but could be attributed to me calibrating my battery last night and then browsing the internet for 3 hours while my wife watched her shows. My display is way up in % as well. It's normally 45 % and sits now at 75%. This could also be attributed to me being on the phone so much after a charge.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ercDROID:
Everything seems to have regulated itself. I think I just used it sooooo much right after my full charge. I used it for literally 3 hours straight so the #'s appeared to be inflated. After 40 hours on the battery is now shows display at 47% and the dolphin hd browser at 5%. I'm ok with that. The browser is really fast and I like how it operates. I may try some of the other ones out there. I can't believe it waited this long to try it cause now I know that the stock browser is garbage.

On another note, I was getting force closes when I clicked on my bookmark widget with the stock browser using Liquid Gingersense 1.6. It always ended up working the second try but it still was an area of concern. After switching the Dolphin HD, I have had zero force closes when clicking on my bookmark widget.

Ok people, like the tittle says, state your reasons.This is for current ROMs we have available at the moment and also lets put in perspective that we will never get a official GB source for our Vibrants. I feel this will help any newb in deciding what he/she would like to flash on his/her Vibrant and also those of us who will not succumb to ads telling you your phone is old as **** and you NEED to buy a new one or else you will never be cool again and will live the rest of your life as a looser with hairy palms.

Tell us what ROM you're on. Try to be professional when stating your reasons. Give us your opinion on other ROMs you were on or tried but DO NOT flame the ROM cuz we all know Devs work really hard to give us (for FREE) these masterpieces for us to enjoy or else we could be stuck on stock and there ain't nothing worse than that. NO FLAMING other people's opinion also, that's why they are called opinions (and just like assholes) we all have one. Fire away..
