from the name, i expected a 'rugged' phone like samsung's active series

ended up finding a pointless phone with an interesting design

Xiaomi - Unsurprisingly Disappointing

        MasEnha, 31 Jul 2018The price is relatively cheap if only the dollars not going crazy like now.Its not real price, in mostly e-shops cost this phone more than 700$, this price in article is only unveiled basic market price in China..

          I think this should have come with the 730 chipset? I know that, that is not available yet, but it will be fairly soon. I think they should have waited and released this phone with the 730. Then again, maybe another model is planned to use the 730? They need a phone with price point between the 8SE and this, a phone with the 730 and costing around 400+ USD seems spot on needed.

                                It would be an awesome phone if the battery was a bit bigger and speakers / sound quality weren't so horrible. Don't really bothered with wireless charging of IP rating.
