sorted byYes, the price!
Firstly, how would I be wrong 'again', and secondly, are you suggesting that my Mi5, the one I'm typing on now, is the only one that works in the UK?

Yes it does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Plus version is expected to be 5.7".
Are you waiting for the latest iPhone with the built in chocolate fondue? Show me a phone that is massively different from any other these days? You are doing rock solid build quality, reliable software and low price what else you want?
Yep. Speed tested today at 78meg.
I have been using this Mi5 for the last year with no issues at all, tethered it to my laptop today on the train from york to london and had internet the whole way apart from the long tunnels
Its not stock android. Xiaomi come with miui which is their own take on android. It's fast and smooth, it's got many interesting features. Far from stock android. No app drawer. The system is very well supported - you can expect updates to your phone for along time. Xiaomi bundles some of their own apps with the system (browser, media players, photo gallery app...). They are usually well made. You can get rid of some of them but not all. There's lots of skins, wallpapers just a few clicks away. I personally am a fan of miui but there are people out there who don't. Check some YouTube videos of miui to make your mind up. You can root the phone and put an alternative system on it, which would give the phone more "stock android feel" . Haven't done that so cannot say a lot about the process.

Unlocked for Worldwide use. Please ensure local area network is compatible. click here for Network Frequency of your country.

It's just a brilliant phone and nothing more. It doesn't look pretty, there's nothing special with the software, the camera is good but not brilliant, it's not waterproof and the screen is "only" 1080P (I think that's actually a positive due to more battery life). The one outstanding positive is the extra £300-£400 in your pocket for a comparable experience.
I've never had a problem. Ordered 2 laptops this year. Both delivered within 2 weeks with no fees.
Sorry for the slow reply. I ordered mine 23/04 and it arrived 08/05. I picked the free delivery option with no insurance and it was delivered to my house by Royal mail. I was able to track it using the SingPost link on my order and the last updates were 29/04 when it said "dispatched to overseas" and 03/05 when is said "arrival at destination post (Country: GB)".
I've obviously thrown the packaging away buy i think the value on the shipping label was about £20 if i remember correctly.
The phone is great, i'm really impressed with it, my previous phone was a HTC One M9 and this feels like a decent upgrade. It's very quick and i'm really liking MIUI so far. It came with MIUI version 8.1.2.0 MAAMIDI and it doesn't show any updates when i check. If you need any more info, let me know.

Any idea if there will be a larger 5.5" inch variant of this?
I had the 128GB model of this phone and changed to a OnePlus 3T and in all honesty I prefer the Mi5, it was more usable the 5.5" screen is just beyond comfortable use for me. I'm going to be looking at the Mi6 once it becomes more readily available.
Great price and also a great phone.
There is supposed to be a plus model to come rumoured to be 5.7' and 8gb of ram and 2k screen
looked at the links, but non the wiser ;-(
I have this on 3 and it works great.
with 4G?
The only band not supported is band 20 which is o2 so texco, gifgaf and i think some areas with vodaphone
They all use band 20:
O2 - band 20
Three - band 20 and band 3
Vodafone - band 20 and band 7
EE - band 20 and band 7
All the mobile operators use Band 20 for rural coverage, as its lower frequency (800mhz) means the signal travels further.
Wrong again
Someone's on the wind up again lol
Think its time to step outside the phone shop ;-)
(edited)
So, if I am with o2, will I switch to another network provider that has coverage?
Turns out my iPhone 5 also doesn't have band 20.
Likely hood of getting a charge is minimal with the standard included post though possibly £35ish after the courier adds their collection fee if you are unlucky.
