He will more likely wait for black version with FDD-LTE. After 6 month he will be waiting for Mi6. It's called Xiaomi Ultimate Lifetime Wait CyclusWhen the Mi5 be released you will wait for the Mi6...

Received my Xiaomi 4 White yesterday. Impressed with many aspects. Updated to MIUI 6 instantly given it stated "stable". Have had constant random app minimization, which read about also in another forum.
MIUI 6 is has a lot going for it, but there's still much to do in terms of usability.
BIGGEST annoyance thus far is not being able to stream music over my Airplay speakers! Search an entire day for a solution, but nothing convenient (I don't consider Double Twist and a paid sync app convenient). Even considering buying the Mi Tv/TV Box in order to get some audio streaming working (video not worried about at present)
I don't have time to list out all the bugs and discrepancies in experience (am making a list to send thorugh to the UI/Dev team, and have reported several bugs through their system), but honestly wouldn't consider this a "stable" build. Even been searching online about a Android Lollipop (v5) port, though would prefer to stick with MIUI for the time being.
Living in China, and without a VPN, Google Play appstore is inaccessible (although I've installed it and the frame-work / services).
Battery life is very reasonable so far, but haven't tested it fully given this is day 2
Also purchased the Mi Band (received today) - very simple, convenient, though needs a LOT more features to be truly robust, and needs to tie into other services (again, Google Fit app is not accessible, though has been installed). Step tracking is slightly off, but not a big deal. Will be interested to see how the sleep tracking reports back. Love the auto-unlock feature.
Also purchased the Mi Wifi Mini Router. Seems very good though currently can't connect to the internet... Still going through the set-up process (which is all in Chinese... guess another good reason too improve my reading skills )
All-in-all, if Xiaomi can resolve their bugs, go back to providing a simple solution for accessing the camera from the lock-screen (why was that removed?!? And why not allow access to the photo's you take ala iOS?... this perplexes me...) then they will have a strong software-set on their hands. Just need to put more time and care into actual use-case scenarios and not just fast-follow others...

Perfect! Thx. Completely missed that!@MXY23 You can still access the camera from lock screen. All you have to do is swipe left.

Lol can't believe anyone would actually be stupid enough to buy a fake Mi4. Or listen to someone else who is trying to discourage from buying this great device. Clearly he has no idea about which phone to buy and where...

No need imo, it's already cheap enough.
Cheaper than most international flagships, and more powerful than they are.
