/g/uys, I'm going to get an 5 inch 1080p Android phone (want to use it eg. with Cardboard).
Xiaomi Mi4C? Pretty cheap, much RAM, good (?) CPU. No NFC, but I don't care.
Anything better than that (and not more expensive)? Would Mi4i be much worser?

The mi4c is better, just get that one - you want those 32GB storage.
Alternatively, get the Redmi Note 2, you can stick a microSD in that one.
Also Xiaomi has good gyro sensors and more. They are generally very decent for cardboard use.

Thanks for the reply.
For general use (Internet, some games, texting) would Mi4i be fast enough?
If Mi4c - is 2gb of RAM enough for normal use? This version also has 16gb of storage, but it's cheaper.

I think more than fast enough, but again, I'd not recommend it with its limited storage.
> If Mi4c - is 2gb of RAM enough for normal use? This version also has 16gb of storage, but it's cheaper.
Yes, 2GB RAM is theoretically enough, but again, I'd suggest to get 32GB of storage. Games and stuff are getting large now, 4th and 5th gen console games for playing on emulators also already were pretty large.
The Redmi Note 2 also is fast enough, if you want to save some money, get that one instead.

Redmi Note 2 is too big for me, though.
Is there big difference in games performance between Mi4c and Mi4i?

Okay.
> Is there big difference in games performance between Mi4c and Mi4i?
Yes, the mi4c has the faster chipset:

The difference isn't enormous though.
Whatever you do just don't get a white version, mine starts yellowing already. Piece of shit plastic.
>>51753335
Lel, what?
Never heard of that one. Did your reseller perhaps replace the cover with a 3rd party one?
>>51752812
>Mi4C
I've read somewhere that the glass panel on the Mi4c isn't Dragontail/Gorilla Glass, can anyone confirm this?
>>51752812

>guys I'm getting an lagdroid phone
Why do you choose this path?
>>51753423 (cont'd)
Actually, perhaps you're also talking of a mi4i made in India or something?
The indian-made Xiaomi phones (for the indian market only, probably a political move of sorts) were (maybe are still?) actually shittier. I remember they had screens that fractured far more easily and had QC issues. Probably related to how quickly they opened that factory...

It isn't Corning Gorilla Glass. It's Corning Concore.

Read the OP faggot
>>51753479

> still believing in the lagdroid meme
Why are you so deep in buyer's remorse or so poorly informed?
>>51753489
>It isn't Corning Gorilla Glass. It's Corning Concore.
To explain the difference:
Gorilla glass is protective glass that goes above the digitizer and screen.
Concore is a laminate that has the digitizer included, it ends up being flatter... but still very stable. I think it's a more expensive solution than Gorilla Glass.

I live it with my Nexus 5, my Nokia N9 doesn't have this problem

- more Cardboard apps than gayOS
- TrinusVR app
- cheaper
- customization
- also my own preference. Had iPhone, used Lumia for a while, now I want to try Android.

(not sure if same anon)
>>51753335
Thanks for replies, guys. I think I'll choose Mi4i, 32gb.
One another question: I read in some reviews that sound quality in Mi4i on headphones is not good - is that true?
>>51753737
> (not sure if same anon)
Same anon. No problem.
> I read in some reviews that sound quality in Mi4i on headphones is not good - is that true?
Hm. I don't know that one, actually.
Sound -like the gyros- are however quite excellent on a Redmi 1s, 2, Note 2, and the Mi4c.
[I think they have 2-3 different models of DAC / sound cards, but they're all good.]
>>51753540
Thanks, so scratch resistant, I'm a bit of a idiot when it comes to pocketing phone and all sorts of shit on the same place
>>51753489
No, im talking about Mi4c. I got mine from honrbuy. It was fine for the first 2 weeks then the white starts turning brownish yellow, then 3 bleed spots appears on the screen. One time it doesnt boot at all I had to open it up and reconnect the battery cable inside the board.

sorry for the shit quality, from my Juanplus juan
>>51755732
kinda hard to see from a photo but the edges are not as white compare to the other parts of the phone.
>>51753836
Yes, and it should be basically (though not exactly) the same as Gorilla glass in terms of impact resistance.
>>51755537
First time I heard about anything like that. Sounds pretty bad. Return it on warranty?
>>51753479
Wait how did you get Super Hexagon on meego?
Or are you running fucking Android on that thing while you post about "lagdroid"
