The display is AMOLED but with a drawback on resolution, has only HD which means youll get 720p only.

My assumption is that those information are incorrect, maybe auto generated to get webpage more clicks/views.
We will have to wait to see what will be released.

The contents are not as sharp as in our A2 lite. Mi CC9e has only 200+ ppi and Mi A2 lite has 400+ ppi it will be noticeable if you watch youtube videos in 1080p resolution.

I have little knowledge about what does that look like, so i gues i will know that if i decide to buy it. Does maybe AMOLED have impact on that sharpnes, i know from my expreience from Samsung S6 (AMOLED) that dark colors were better, and overall picture impresion was that it looked more lively and natural than it is on A2 Lite with IPS LCD, what do you think ? Thanks

The sharpness of the content will be based on how many pixel there is in a display whether LCD or AMOLED. AMOLED displays will have true black display and of course Samsung s6 display is better because it packs Quad HD which is 1440p. Also AMOLED displays had always been over saturated thats why it looks lively but can be tweak depends on the user's preference.

Update from GSMarena regarding A3 and A3 Lite
https://m.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_mix_4_may_have_a_64mp_camera_mi_a3_spotted_at_the_fcc_with_48mp_camera-amp-37964.php
"Meanwhile, the FCC certified an Android One phone with a 48MP camera – it sounds like the Xiaomi Mi A3. This lines up with current rumors that the new A3 models will be based on the Mi CC9 and Mi CC9e (Mi A3 and A3 Lite, respectively)."

"Schematic of the back of Xiaomi's upcoming Android One phone - probably the Mi A3"
"A schematic of the back shows a the same design with a triple camera in the upper left corner. The model number of the phone is M1906F9SH, so when that name appears on TENAA we'll have more details (though we don't expect major hardware changes)"
Cool logos on back, android one icon is nice

Not Full HD display means it's DoA for me. Looking forward for the Mi A3 (regular) this time around, since it will have a 4030 mAh battery (Mi A2 had a miserable 3010 mAh battery).

What if it is possible that they produce A3 series with larger resolution than cc9e

Not that I know of. One friend of mine is going to buy it for me in China . But it will be available worldwide very soon , June-July
It's available in China now. Cost about 10% more than the Galaxy Nexus. Look forward to the P1S version.

It cost 470 USD actually for the P1. Dont know the current price of the Galaxy nexus (2011) right now
The P1 s version cost about 150 USD extra, reaching easily 600 USD, not worth it in my opinion. Why would you pay 150 extra box for 1mm thickness?

hi guys i bought mine at this site http://www.liaow.com/huaweiascendp1u9200.asp so far so good! i really love this phone!
This looks similar to the Galaxy S2, similar features too.
Are there many Rom's? and how does the default skin they overlay go?
Is the Camera comparable with other flagship phones out there?
Hmmm, Looks nice, I love that it has SD card support.
Ascend D1 is better for its 720p screen.
It has come to China 3 days ago, Russia in August.

Are you in China? Any idea how much an Ascend D1 costs?
It's an amazing cellphone for that price,however;ascend D quad is around the corner,which makes me hesitate.
Just read tech specs about ascend D,you'll like it more.
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/productFeatures.do?pinfoId=3265&directoryId=6001&treeId=3745&tab=0
P1 is great! It will be available in Europe starting from August, as far as I know, on prices between 350-400 euro. However, there is the new D2 coming out soon (no idea when it will be available in Europe).
In China, the price for P1 is around 2200 RMB, that is 280 Euros. However, please note that the Chinese version IS NOT compatible to GAPPS! You need to install over a World/Europe ROM.
The phone itself is just geat! The speed is impressive! Camera is good (with some features not encountered in standard camera software). There are also all sort of Huawei apps, that are very good and I mention here a FULL backup software, for applications and data (does not require root as it is integrated). It supports FaceUnlock. There are a lot of other goodies not to mention. My opinion: a very good value for the money!
Just got the latest UI from Huawei. It is really impressive. A little bit MIUI like, but as it is done by Huawei developers, I think that the integration is much better. Could not find a problem yet, I am proud to be a owner of this.
It is an amazing phone

Generally a blatant copy of iPhone 5 or 5s, with a little photoshop work, while the back cover is that of Huawei Honor 3X.
Still quite impressive phone. Depends on the price, but I'm considering buying it.
It has a metal housing, so it should be tougher than an average smartphone these days. Says it's also IP67 certified on gsmarena specs, but I doesn't says anything about that on official page.
well, i hope they release kernel source so people will want to buy it and develop for it.

Do we use MI4 in other countries?
Hi all,
If we buy MI4 at China, could we use it with sim card other countries? Is there a World version?
Please tell about this issue.
Thanks
This will be a beastly phone, i saw the design online and it's pretty nice .
It's not as good designed as HTC M8 or LG G3 but in combination with 3GB RAM Memory and 2,5 Ghz quadcore with cheap price compared to LG G3 is it a top choice for people that want a good phone

I haven't heard a whole lot about real world results of the MeidaTek processor, but the specs look strong. Would love to know who makes the 24mp camera. Also look forward to seeing battery life results from gsmarena.com.
This looks like a legit top shelf phone for half of the price. I will be keeping my eyes out. And great that it is a US company that isn't stupid Apple.
Really incredible - I heard about interesting price.

Its the OmniVision OV23850 camera sensor.
This device has really caught my eye! Just wanted to drop a very minor correction on the Blu Pure XL image. The device does support Wi-Fi 802.11 AC. Just thought you may want to add that to the image.
The only things I see people wondering about (myself included) is:
1. Updates (How is this company about pushing out updates? With Marshmallow on the horizon, will it take 40 forevers to get it?)
2. No VOLTE Band 12 on T-Mo's network (Is this a deal breaker?)
Never thought I'd get a 6" device, but that may change come October.

This is what Tmobile said regarding band 12 and unlocked phones http://www.tmonews.com/2015/08/t-mo...in-unlocked-smartphones-put-in-the-spotlight/
Can anyone confirm removable battery? This is a huge help for an avid traveler like me. The rest of the specs already have me sold though. The only other things I might have desired are 4GB RAM, front flash, and shipping with unlocked bootloader, and source code available...
My searches say neither this or the Gionee Elife E8 have removable batteries.

Does anyone know how well the Cortex A53 stacks against the Snapdragon 810 AND how well PowerVRG6200 is compared to adreno 430?
What do you guys think in comparing this phone to say Oneplus Two as well as Moto X Pure
The camera seems to be rubbish. Even the official photo samples look rubbish and washed out colors.

Yes the device supports micro SD and is also dual sim capable

Look at some of the hands on videos posted on YouTube, the device definitely supports micro sd storage, with the back cover off, you can see the micro sd slot as well as dual sim slots.
On top of the posted videos, I've read it can support up to 64GB on a micro SD. I bet it could do 128GB if attempted. Either way, I'm really excited about this device coming from an OPO. My only concerns are with the camera and updates. Everything else looks fantastic! Sept. 29 can't get here fast enough!
I'm hoping we can count on XDA for updates, as I don't see Gionee or Blu releasing many, if any. This is the same chip as the HTC one m9+ or whatever they call it, so there should be some support there for the SoC.
Everything I'm seeing says this is dual sim with a Micro SD slot once you remove the back cover, so storage isn't a concern. However, even with the cover off, the battery is highly unfortunately non-removable.
The Elife line for Gionee is centered on having great cameras. The specs on this camera are excellent, especially the autofocus speed. F/2.0 is nice as well. But we'll have to see what the real life results look like.
Here's a link with some more useful specs...
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/BLU-Pure-XL_id9639
The only two things that concern me are camera quality and how well the fingerprint sensor works. If the reviews are good, I'll probably pull the trigger on this one.

Xiaomi Mi4C Is Official With Snapdragon 808, 3GB RAM & an Amazing Price Tag

Back when Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi Mi4i flagship in India, Chinese users felt a bit left out. The device was good in looks as well as specs and the local market could have used a device like the Mi4i. But little did they know that Xiaomi had something even better for its domestic market, and a few minutes back, it made the Xiaomi Mi4C flagship official. Just like the previous leaks and rumors predicted, the Mi4C flagship will be much better in terms of specs and value than its international brother, the Mi4i. I am sure after seeing the specs and the pricing of the new device, Chinese users will be delighted for sure. So, without wasting any more of your time, lets take a look at what this amazing device has to offer.

Looks wise, there’s hardly anything changed in the new Xiaomi Mi4C. You get the same smooth back finish with a strong rectangular body as its international brother. While this may sound a bit simple, especially in a market where metal bodied smartphones are preferred, the company compensates this clean look with its numerous color offerings. You can choose between five different colors according to your liking, including yellow, white, pink, blue and black.
But this is where the major similarity ends. Under the hood, the Xiaomi Mi4C comes with the much more powerful Snapdragon 808 . On the other hand, the Mi4i had the slower Snapdragon 615. This is a great move from Xiaomi since 808 will ensure the fastest performance in its price segment, which is exactly what the MT6795 powered Redmi Note 2 did . There are two version of the Mi4C, one with 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage while the othe r with 3GB RAM and 64GB of storage. With Adreno 418 GPU and the above specs, the Xiaomi Mi4C manages to score much better than competitors in the price range. According to the benchmark score revealed by the company in the presentation, the Mi4C managed to score about 57K on AnTuTu , which is even better than MX5 and Huawei P8. Clearly, you won’t be disappointed with the phone’s performance.
The display will be of 5-inches with full HD 1080p resolution . It is said that the Mi4C’s display will be 20% slimmer than traditional panels. The company has compared its size with the recently announced Apple iPhone 6S. As you can see, the dimensions are almost the same as the 6S, despite having a slightly larger display. Also, Xiaomi has made sure that the bezels are quite thin, making it around 30% thinner than average smartphones.
The company has also paid special attention to the Mi4C’s camera. The phone comes with a 13MP Sony IMX258 rear sensor with PDAF . This should ensure great images with fast focus. What’s more, the company has upgraded the algorithm to ensure that low light photos come out bright , with more detail and less noise. You can check out the image below to see how it works in real life.

We really appreciate the users reading our reviews as we put many hours into making them. Thank also for taking the time to read our work.
Note, everything you see below except for the final summary conclusion is re-written from memory of the full review.
Xiaomi Mi5 Display
The display is great, and about as good as it gets before moving into Super AMOLED. Colors are rich and contrasty without being obnoxiously so. Viewing angles are great.
Xiaomi Mi5 review SoC Power
As we know, the Mi5 carries Snapdragon 820. This SoC has taken mobiles to a whole new level, making an incredibly leap over Apple's A8 and Snapdragon 810 from last year. Not only are the Kryo CPU's superpowered, the Adreno 530 is also a huge bump up from last year. This literally made Xiaomi Mi5 the most powerful phone in the universe according to Antutu for Q1 2016.
Even when throttled the Xiaomi Mi5 pushes 100k+ on Antutu. This test was run in 40c ambient temps! We see that what's mostly throttled is the CPU, the GPU is only moderately affected. Check it:
Xiaomi Mi5 MIUI Marshmallow Android 6.0
The OS on Xiaomi Mi5 is MIUI Android 6.0. It's very smooth. Because of the hyperpowered Kryo cores and UFS 2.0 ROM, apps load FAST. Sometimes as fast as if you had them already in RAM.
Xiaomi Mi5 GPS
GPS SNR is great. Cold lock achieved in 2 or 3 seconds. SNR is 30-40 in 8 satellites
Xiaomi Mi5 WiFi
Xiaomi Mi5 WiFi strength is great. Reaching 144ft/44m from home router with concrete wall between phone and router.
Xiaomi Mi5 Charging
What's beautiful about the Xiaomi Mi5 is Quick Charging 3.0. This chargest Mi5's 3000mAh battery to 90% in 1 hour, or 100% in 1h 15m. Wow. You can charge the phone while getting ready in the morning and phone is fully charged before going out the door.
Xiaomi Mi5 review battery life screen on test
Of course, quick charging isn't much of a help if the phone doesn't have good battery life. Luckily, that's not the case with Xiaomi Mi5. We hit 9 hours on our screen on SOT onscreen time Xiaomi Mi5 battery life test. This test is a 720p YouTube video streamed through WiFi with display at 140lux.
Does it mean you will get 9 hours screenon SOT time? Not necessarily, as this will depend on your use. Whatever the case, it's an excellent result and actually this beats the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 MTK6795 w/4000mAh by a full hour.
Xiaomi Mi5 camera samples
No good phone is complete without a good camera. We're pleased to relay that the Sony IMX298 is very good, giving us sharp pictures with realistic colors. This particular shot is HDR, but standard shots also produce good results. We have a full set of 60 images with 100% crops at the full review.
And, here we have a 100% crop from one of the pics. Remember, these pics are straight out of the camera (SOOC) with no processing other than reduce and save at 75% jpg.
Here's one more 100% crop of Floki.
Xiaomi Mi5 review summary
[font=Nunito, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif]Battery life is great, charging time is fantastic, it carries a great looking display and comes with most of the goodies, including NFC, Gorilla Glass 4, infrared remote, gyroscope, step counter, and compass.[/font]
[font=Nunito, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif]You can now own the most powerful consumer mobile in the known universe– Xiaomi Mi5, for a few hundred bucks– about half as much as the Galaxy S7. The Mi5 is a near perfect phone; super-powered with all components working great. If it’s within your budget, jump on it… You won’t be disappointed. If a bit too much, we recommend the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. Available at half the price of the Mi5, RMN3P offers great value and is a mobile you’ll be happy to own.[/font]
