Few days ago I needed a budget mobile phone for some friend urgently and I selected the HONGMI (Red Rice) WCDMA. I bought it from antelife . They have a range of payment methods available with free and fast shipping.
Here is link to buy Hongmi from antelife, you can get the price down to $191.99 usd with this coupon code : 4xiaomi
Here is the unboxing of the 100% Genuine HONGMI WCDMA version. I took a lot of pictures for your viewing pleasure
I ordered the
· HONGMI WCDMA version
· Xiaomi Headphones
· Original xiaomi HONGMI protective back cover
· High Quality Screen protector.
All of this came in a big brown box. As you can see in the pictures,
As you can see the contents of the box, it have Headphones, back cover screen protector (not visible) and the phone box (Under the back cover)
I will emphasize on the phone box so here comes the phone box. It’s wrapped in the air tight plastic sheet. This is the original xiaomi packing. Very strong and simple. On the back of the box there is a red sticker which includes manufacturing date of the this particular phone and phone version that it’s a WCDMA version and Full specs. Although the specs are in Chinese but these easily understandable.
When we open the box, we see the beloved Hongmi!! I picked it up and it feel superb. Build quality is far better than expectation. No cheap material feel. Although it not as good as the metallic alloys but it’s nice to hold the phone.
Now when I further dig in the box I found the USB data cable + charger, it’s the Standard USB cable from xiaomi , charger look different than what I had before with mi Mi2 , But the rating is the same 5V 1000mA.
On further exploration I found battery the three documents like user guide warranty etc, But these all are in Chinese. In the close up you can see that the battery is 2000mA 7.6 watt. Although rating is the same as Mi2 battery but it’s not interchangeable with mi2 battery. Shape is different.
That’s all that came in the Phone box.
1. Phone
2. Charger
3. USB cable (for charging and data transfer)
4. Documentation
5. Battery
There was no SD card or head phones but hey it’s the best budget phone so I think it still OK.
Now it’s time to open the phone and put the battery and SIM card inside. Here are some close-up how does it look form inside. Its say WCDMA and can see two SIM card slots also a SD card slot. SD card can be swapped without taking out the battery but to change the SIM card battery must be removed. I put the SIM card and the battery and SIM card in.
