Hi all, since the event didnt go out as a live stream - Xiaomi have actually took the time to record it and post to YouTube. Here it is:
just saw that yesterday in youku. bah i must say they gave lots of shit to the people who actually bought the ticket and went i cant remember all but the most important things were an orange M1 tshirt rights to buy xiaomi 2 (i believe you get a number or something like that to pre order one when its time) and the little bluetooth racing car which is awesome and not to mention its like 299 shouldnt have missed that .. o well. i didnt think that paying 199 for the entrance was right... now the joke is on me.
The important part is: Is it possible to pre-order outside of China? Otherwise it's such a waste showing it off, as we won't even get our hands on one.
they took the time to make it in Chinese, hopefully someone else will take his time to create subtitles
Found this so hope the rumor is true http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/17/xiaomi-phones-may-enter-europe-next-year-because-china-aint-bi/
It has internal 16GB with a microSD (microSDHC) slot. I don't know if the 16GB is a micro SIM included or part of the ROM. source: http://gdgt.com/xiaomi/phone/2/specs/
Here is a intersting comparison between the MI2 and SGS3 http://www.miui.ch/xiaomi-mi2-vs-sgs3-vs-htc-one-x-vs-meizu-mx/
well in the video it didn't say anything about it, until now i believe theres not going to be sd expansion, such a bummer to have only like 10gb for data, rest goes for the rom i guess. but according to that comparison there is indeed an expansion slot.. hope its true.
Check that link again. http://www.miui.ch/xiaomi-mi2-vs-sgs3-vs-htc-one-x-vs-meizu-mx/ They just changed it to "no microsd." I think the evidence is undeniable, there will be no microsd card slot on the Xiaomi mi-two, which I find shocking, for the world's fastest super phone to have only 16gb storage with no expansion. This makes me sad =(
I really wish they could settle this once and for all and just show a picture of the Mi-two with the battery removed so we can actually see for ourselves what ports it has. There are parties on both sides swearing it does or does not have a microsd card slot and not one simple picture of the phone with the battery removed floating around anywhere on the internet to just resolve the conversation once and for all. Meanwhile, Xiaomi itself remains silent. If someone has a picture they can upload or has actually manhandled the phone, removed the battery and seen with his/her own eyes the microsd card slot, could you please let us know? We're eagerly anticipating this phone, and whether or not it has more than 16gb of possible storage is the difference between a super phone and a brick for many of us. Much appreciated!
in the website it doesnt say anything about the micro sd expansion at the phone specs section its quite hard to believe it doesnt tho, 16 gb is not enough for anything nowadays, hope the official pictures or news come out soon. i will try to enter the xiaomi website and contact their online support, doubt they know anything official tho, most of the times they are clueless too.
