WHat happened to Xiaomi on AliExpress? - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

It seems that all Xiaomi devices have been removed from AliExpress. And by saying all I mean all. Sellers that sold many Xiaomi mobile phones (like TopOne Digital Store) now don't have anything.
Anybody knows what's going on?

Maybe what happened with Amazon aswell, they had to remove the products they had because of the charger? Not fully sure though. Its just some believes

Was there any news about it? I'm lucky then because I bought UGREEN QC 3.0 charger then and I shouldn't worry... If that's the case of course.

Top-One has his products online for example: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...32762520854.html?spm=2114.12010608.0.0.v05SNd
I think they've redone their store though. Also Chinese new year comes in some days.
It seems the Mi5s isn't available though.

When I open on laptop I also have no hits. But when I open alie app on my mi5s they are still there

I know the pro version supports Quick Charge 3.0 but does the normal version too?
And someone knows what display glass they use? Some people say gorilla glass 3 but not sure.
Gorilla 3 and QC 3
anyone please tell lenovo z2 plus (India) supported good QC3.0 adapter? send a buy option link?
Does anyone know if the USB cable for the Zuk Z2 is up to spec?

I have tried multiple charger/cable combinations and haven't been able to get quickcharge to work. I bought a cheap supposedly QC3.0 compliant charger from China and tried that with the original leads and then some leads I got off of Amazon and just worked normally, then I bought a pricier, well reviewed Anker QC3.0 charger from amazon and cables that were advertised as QC3.0 compatible and still wouldn't work. Then tried the same setup with my friend's HTC 10 and boom! quickcharge.
I should mention that I was on the official Indian 2.0.111 ST ROM that was an OTA update from 2.0.093 that I flashed after getting a vendor ROM, so as official as it gets. The phone is advertised as QC3.0-compatible so either someone cocked it up or they haven't had the time to enable the function. Roumor has it that we're getting ZUI 2.5 next week so maybe then.

We were talking about the standard version Z2131 (not the Pro Z2121), which unfortunately does not have Quick Charge 3.0 enabled.
So it supports or not because gsmarena says it supports so do reviewers but i don't have a quick charger to very .Should i buy one?
The ZUK Z2/Plus doesn't have QC 3.0, I have tried a QC 3.0 Power Bank and a AC Adapter to no avail.
I did a test on this, basically the Z2 (non-pro) will charge SLOWER with a QC charger than with the stock charger. Having said that, the standard charger is not that slow (104 minutes 0-100%), which is faster than Google Pixel XL which has similar 3450mah.
I wrote more information and graphs here:
http://zukfans.eu/community/threads/info-z2-quick-charge-speed-testing-discussion.3132/
nvm
The word out there is that maybe the phone supports it but the kernel doesn't and no one is willing to modify the kernel for this because its risky. One thing is brick your phone and making it useless by doing so another thing is taking the risk of the phone blowing up or burst into flames. Even if someone changes the kernel for some reason and is irresponsible enough to make it available I will not flash it. It is just too risky. Only if Lenovo releases it someday (which I doubt it) I will then put it in my phone. I also bought a QC3.0 charger only to realize it didn't work.
Doesnt support it. Maybe QC 2.0
I have tested QC on stock 2.5 ZUI as well as on MOKEE 61.1 and 71.1
One thing Im sure about that when my Le Pro 3 wasnt dead, it charged its 4070mAH battery in 1:30 minutes while Zuk Z2 takes 2 hours to charge on same cable and adapter. Whatever they advertise it as, isnt being delivered. No idea if kernel cocked it up or really the hardware doesnt have support for it.

thx for info
Hello, I'm portuguese and considering buying the Lenovo ZUK Z2 (not the pro ), do i need other charger or the stock charger will work? I've heard the stock rom isn't that good, can someone send me the link to a new good rom? Like lineage OS or CyanogenMod... i don't know a thrustfull link, thanks and sorry for the lack of english skills.

Which is the best phone for LineageOS 2017?

Nexus is dead, Pixel is nothing (just a Nexus with iPhone price) and Samsung is dead (Exynos/Knox/kernel source), so what is the best phone for LineageOS? I really don't like OnePlus anymore, because for the same price I get a S7 Edge with VR, warrenty and local support (Samsung service point). Car charger for 30 bucks, dash charger, dash cable... f... that!
For now I got a Mi Max Prime (64GB version) and a Mi5s Plus which is just like a 100$ phone compare to firmware support for a highend device (buggy firmware, no real updates, no Xiaomi support (flop)). Don't get me wrong, the hardware is genius (dualsim, 128GB, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 821, 3800 mAh, QC and for under 400€ with import and shipping) but it feels like the first CM alpha builds from a S3 with Exynos :/
So I need to switch... I looking for a new powerful device with great ROM support, like OnePlus. The battery (SOT) is on the first position, after LineageOS support.
What you think? Switch to the old Nexus 6p, buy a OnePlus 3T (it is the last option for me) or maybe a other phone? A brand new S7 Edge I can get for 400 bucks, a Mi Note 2 for 550 but I really don't care anymore... good battery and official LineageOS is what I need for the future.
I hope you guys can help me.
Regards

right now i'm enjoying my Nexus 6p, but if you want something newer the OP3T is your best shot
That is pretty much how i feel with my old LG g3.
Last I checked the Nexus 7 from 2013 had community support well into 2016. So maybe we should all stop placating Google/Oracle in their resource gluttony & update rampaging....
My 2 cents.
What about the Asus Zenfone 3? So far that's the best hardware I've seen for the lowest price. The software is the only thing I don't like about them so much but so far it beats all the other overpriced iPhone comletitors

Change your mi5s plus for mi5
Xiaomi...cheap and great
I am using redmi 2 for over a year now. Couldn't be happier with it
I already got the Mi5 and it was a beast with MIUI but the Mi5 get real firmware support. In 60 days we get 5 (stable) updates and anything works perfect but 5 inch is to small
Its a pain to unlock bootloader but it works...
When I look at the OnePlus 3T: Unlock bootloader in one min., TWRP already official, Kernel source released, based on Android 7.1 official and ROMs like LineageOS already works perfect, without official build.

I think Wileyfox will be a good choice in the near futur. Bootloader unlocking is the easiest I've ever done. They made good price, good quality product, official Cyanogenmod support (but it's over now). They don't make overpriced product like OnePlus or ****ty one like Xiaomi (7 days just to have a code to unlock the bootloader) and Xiaomi have brand new smartphone variant every week. Redmi note, redmi note prime, redmi Pro, redmi note pro.... Hard to follow.
I've bought a wileyfox Swift 2 at 189€ - 30€ = 159€ on the official website after broke my OnePlus 1 screen. I find it's better than my OP1 except for the photography and for the rom support.
I've got before a moto g (peregrine + falcon) ZTE open C, Fx0, oneplus 1, Redmi note 4 sold 2 weeks after receive it. And wileyfox is one one the best quality/price I've ever had just after the Fx0.
not the "best" only "best fit"
Hi,
why not the ZTE Axon 7 (snapdragon 820, >=4Gb RAM; back fingerprint, usb-c + QC, Amoled; good photograph) ?

I have now a Xiaomi MI4 but for sure a Zaxon 7 is a good choice
Xiaomi MI5S plus user here. LineAgeOS is working for my phone (unnoficial), but is great!

I sell my mi5s plus, got the mi5s but main phone is the OnePlus 3T and it looks like I will never switch from OnePlus, because easy bootloader unlock and support for custom roms.

What's next?

What phone are you going onto next? I was considering the Galaxy S8 but the rear fingerprint scanner has spoilt it for me. I understand the reasons... Small bezels etc... But still...
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
One plus 4? Or 5 if OP skips the 4. The dev community is why. My other phone is a note 5, there aren't many roms available , and there are so many variants of the phone that most of them don't work on mine. While people here are whining that OOS is only on 7.0 I can't even get a stable nougat rom for my 920w. With 1+ I can get two seperate ROMs from OP plus many custom ROMs some of which are bleeding edge nightlies. It's also about half the price of a Samsung device, and the dual sims are a must for me.

I'm not sure I see what the problem is with OnePlus? It would be nice if they released camera blobs but that's their choice if not.
The OP3 is a great phone. I liked the idea of the Pixel but not for the price. Being waterproof might have swayed me but it's not
Not sure when OP will have another phone.
I'll still likely get the S8! A lot of phones seem to have rear fingerprint sensors now. Huawei, LG, New Samsung and even pixel.

I'll take it from another perspective and tell you which I'm not going to consider:
- Samsung (for trashy closed-system)
- Pixel (for marketing efforts to play Apple prices while still offering a dull-looking device), and very negative community
- ZTE (for sleezy behavior when it came to offering bootloader unlock exclusive to US at the beginning)
- Any overpriced phone with gimmicky features/functions (iris scanners, double cameras, quintillion-pixel density screens, etc.)
Soo... that doesn't leave much to choose from anyway.

NFC

Can anyone confirm that this really does not have NFC? Hoping for just a specs omission.
Otherwise, the only large screen & large battery Xiaomi with NFC is the Mi Mix (original). Seems ridiculous ...

There's no nfc on this device. Only Honor Note 10 has NFC at this size currently, but even that might be locked because some people reported issues due to locked Chinese firmware.

Thanks. I wouldn't touch that with a bargepole though .. Honor Note 10 isn't going to have an unlockable bootloader.
One ray of light - Indian and Malaysian retailers have started relisting the Mi Max 3 Pro for pre-order, availability in late October. They began doing that before the Max 3 was announced, but then removed them when the Xiaomi rep said it wasn't coming.
If that comes with an SD710 and is a little more expensive, hopefully it'll have NFC.
It's such a silly omission. Probably a $1.50 cost in the bulk that Xiaomi would buy readers. They could pass that directly on to consumers with no backlash from people who don't want NFC.

I find the Max 3 to be one of the best phones I've had so far. But this is coming from someone that loves big screen / battery phones.

I agree... I got the three Mi Max. The third is clearly the best one.
I've the 2 and love it. Have just ordered the 6/128 from tradingschenzen as the bigger screen area, better camera and faster proc are all really appealing. My only worry is the lack of custom roms (currently rocking msm extended and love it on the 2) but once I can root for adblock, afwall and debloating I'll be happy.
