i got 2 XiaoMi S2 a couple of weeks ago for my parents, in the first round ordering, with limited quantity (32GB version) here in hk.
yesterday, Xiaomi has re-opened the ordering again.
This round they accept orders, 1 at a time for each purchase... and this time i bought 1 for myself as well.
if you also own a S2 (16GB or 32GB), let's exchange your experience with it here.
enjoy~
This is a development forum. There is one thread about this device already and as there will be no development for this device here that one is enough.

Why is OnePlus using this invite system? I honestly don't see the logic behind deliberately limiting the amount of people that can give OnePlus money. Also, is this invite system going eventually go away and open the phone to the public or will it forever be an invite-only phone?
Probably because the supply cannot meet its demand. So they have a invite system to cause hype, free marketing until they their supply can meet the demand. Plus at the price of $349, they aren't making much profit on the phone.
But I agree, get rid of the invite system and get the phone in people's hands before the specs become outdated to other flagship devices. They're here making customizable covers and whatnot, who cares.. just get the phone out to meet its demand.
The OPO is dead meat once the Nexus 6 comes out in 2 to 3 months.
The Nexus 6 will cost around $349, have newer next gen hardware, and come with Android 'L' out of the box. And with the Nexus 6, you will be able to actually, really purchase the phone, for real.

I doubt the OPO will be "dead meat." There is no serious next gen hardware unless it ships with Snapdragon 805.
OPO will still be a good phone regardless and its hard to pack that much in a $349 phone especially coming from a popular manufacturer such as LG/Samsung/HTC. OPO will have Android "L" regardless.
Obvious troll is obvious.

Yes. I have owned the first four Nexus phones, and all but the Nexus 4 were easy and fast to get. I got the Nexus-One the first week it came out, I got the Nexus-S at T-Mobile Best Buy the morning it was released immediately, I ordered the Galaxy Nexus online the 2nd week it was out, and got it the week after, and the Nexus 4 was a pain, was sold out the first two months, and was impossible to find, but by the third month they had better stock and I got one. I did not get the Nexus 5, because the crappy battery life, and I was pissed Google didn't keep the 3,000mAh battery from the G2 which the phone was based off.
My point being, all those Nexus phones were fast and easy to get, except the Nexus 4, but that was turned around by the third month. Where as the OnePlus One has been out for 3 months now, and still impossible to find, and the phone is still not available for purchase, you need this ridiculous "invite" which just blows my mind away any sane company would try to market a product this way. How bout make a website with a purchase button and shipping date, and let me buy it and get it 3 days later, not wait for some stupid invite, that just turns me away.
OPO really screwed up here, or purposely fooled everyone, not sure which is true ? How could they not know a phone with $700 flagship specs, but only selling for half that at $350 wouldn't be a smashing hit, and very hot seller ? They should have been more prepared, at least expecting this OPO to sell like a Nexus phone, quantity wise. I think they had 120,000 forum members at launch, that were all wiling to buy the phone, but only originally released like 5,000 phones at launch, and then like 7,000 later, and several thousand more, but WTF that's extremely low quantities, a joke actually.

I bet it does.
Everyone says this every year about the upcoming Nexus, no way it will have flagship hardware at the cheap price they sell the Nexus phones. But every year it does.
Last year everyone expected the Nexus 5 to have the Snapdragon 600, to match the then flagships; Galaxy S4 and HTC One M7, but the Nexus 5 came with the brand new next gen Snapdragon 800, besting those two flagships, and still selling for half their price.
My prediction for the Nexus 6;
- Announced in October / released in November
- Price of $400
- Snapdragon 805
- 3GB RAM
- 2600mAh - 2900mAh battery
- 5.2" to 5.5" Screen
- Maybe a 1440p screen, but most likely 1080p
- Made by either; Asus, HTC, or Sony
Hi!
I am from India. I've been wanting to buy the Note 3. Recently I came across this seller on eBay who is selling Note 3 phones for almost 25% less! He says that he imports the phones directly from Vietnam and so he can afford that discount. He also offered an additional 10% discount, if I don't purchase via eBay and deal directly with him. For that, I'll have to first deposit the money in his bank account and he would then order it from Vietnam, which would directly reach me in 4-5 days.
I'm unable to understand this whole process. Can it be true? Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone at 25% off?! Just because he's importing it from Vietnam.
He said that I'll get company warranty, the box will be seal packed, he'll replace or refund within 7 days and the phone is the Indian version. So I would get the updates also.
What should I do? It is a steal deal for sure. But is it trustworthy? Also, is the quality of phones manufactured in Vietnam as good as the Korean make? Please help!

Dear geeks,
I'm Zaza Asatiani a long time XDA member from Georgia (Country). Let me kindly ask you for help to defend my consumer rights.
On September 29 I have purchased Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (SM-N930R4) on Ebay from the private seller. The phone had clean ESN, Box and all accessories. The seller indicated in product description that he purchased phone from US Cellular. once it was recalled and then returned to the owner with an upgraded battery. That’s why I decided it was safe to buy.
When I turned it on for the first time it was almost brand new Galaxy Note 7 with fully functional Knox and Samsung account. (I have had every Galaxy Note from the launch of first one and I have an ambition not to be fooled by Chinese fakers). After several days I got a notification regarding software update. I have updated the phone software and from then on I'm getting annoying notification pop up warning - to return the phone. It was popping up every time I connected phone to the charger. Couple of months ago I got another software update which limited phone charge to 60%. I seriously doubt that fake phone shouldn't be able to get such an updates from Samsung's server.
Right now the phone is in the country of Georgia. I have contacted US Cellular and Samsung US support team several times to help me find a way to refund the phone but it seems they have no guidelines what to do and asked me to contact Samsung’s local office. Even Samsung Local Georgian office refused to refund the phone. They say the IMEI in “About the phone” and on the back panel aren’t the same and it’s a fake.
I doubt that during the battery replacement Samsung replaced the battery together with back panel and this is the cause of this problem.
Do you have any idea what do do?
Best Regards,
Zaza
maybe a good time to name the ebay seller?
I sent my Galaxy Fold in as my trade for the new one. When initially received, I was told it was accepted and credited accordingly. Now, more than 10 days later, I’m being told I sent in a device I don’t think I’ve ever owned and certainly not the one in the box. They say I owe them $800 since the device in the box was an S7 which cannot be traded for the new Fold. What do I do?
it happened to me yesterday as well, i traded my galaxy watch with active 2, the value was $74, which is not big deal compare to your device, so they said i sent them something other than galaxy watch, but they didn't specify, and a link to get it back, so i requested to send it back, and i am waiting for it. it seems there is some sort of trade in packages that mixed up some how.
Similar thing happened to me when I traded in my son's old iPad mini 4 and purchased new iPad 5th generation. Apple valued the iPad over the net $90.00 and then after we purchased new iPad they send me the old iPad back stating that camera doesn't work. It was working when we send it in.
I have traded recently my old Samsung tablet S4 for the new S7+ and they gave me $300.00 credit. I wonder if it's going go through without any problems....
I'm curious how many have purchased the Samsung Care+ warranty for the Flip 4. I bought my phone during the pre-order and have 27 more days to enroll and have been debating it. I haven't ever accidentally damaged a phone (except an original Razr back in the day) but with the Flip/Folds I feel they are a bit more delicate than others and debating if it might be worth it. What are others opinions?
Yep. Think first 3 or 4 months free, then $8. Never bought insurance before, always got new phone every 1 or 2 years with insane trade in values, but this new design at $1k changed my mind.

If my understanding is correct it's only free in certain countries and the US is not one of them.
They gave it to me, and I'm in US. Went to website, plugged in my serial number, said I'm eligible, and it gave it to me. About 3 weeks ago and haven't been billed. Just logged in and says I'm covered. I did buy phone directly from Samsung unlocked.

Thanks, finally figured it out and went ahead and ordered it and supposedly got the 3 free months, their website is a PIA to navigate and just kept taking me around it circles for the longest!
