Thanks for checking with them! To some of us, this is obviously an extraordinarily important factor in whether this phone is worth anything or not.pretty messed up if its true, i guess that if im changing i should wait for the 32gb version... or just wait for xiaomi 3 and hope its below 2500 rmb.
Until I see for myself a MicroSD port on the phone in a picture, I'm going to have to agree with you. It doesn't seem like there will be a MicroSD card slot. Your conversation says that, I spoke with someone who posted an "unboxing" video and he said it doesn't have one, a variety of other sources (asia.cnet for one) say it doesn't have one, and Xiaomi's website just conveniently left MicroSD off of their spec list when they include it for MI-1 and MI-1s? Yeah, seems like it's a no, which in my opinion is a shockingly bad oversight for this phone to have only 10gb of free storage (after formatting the 16gb internal and with 4gb allocated for the phone's system data) with NO MicroSD card slot. Shocking. Seriously. Wow. Way to shoot yourself in the face in order to save a few bucks on what otherwise would have been a hands down winner for the entire smartphone market.
For those of you that say it has a MicroSD card slot, what is that based on? Did Xiaomi themselves tell you that? Have you seen it? Or was it just some old press release? Just trying to get an idea of the credibility of various sources.
