Xiaomi phones are great, but they, including Mi Max, do not support all the LTE bands. In my country, some operators make heavy use of Band 20 (800 MHz), so this means the LTE performance of Mi Max will be crippled because it does not have Band 20. So unfortunate:(

You can load the right software yourself, check my other comment on this page. Remember to unlock your bootloader first (don't worry, you can relock it again, and it doesn't void your warranty)

Visit https://xiaomi.eu/community/ and download the latest ROM for your phone. Install TWRP (follow the instructions on their site) and flash the ROM through recovery. If you need help visit http://www.xda-developers.com/

C'mon, Xiaomi and Microsoft.. either launch new Windows 10 Mobile version of these awesome phones or let buyers install it on them.

and you know if you just half charge your phone "all the time" the battery will lose it's calibration and full life over time soon.

I'm highly interested because of its excellent battery life. So I could use it as secondary device.
Can anyone who is familiar with Xiaomi devices and other Chinese phones help me: is there any international version of Mi Max or Mi 5 which is preinstalled with Google Play Store? I mean, preinstalled by Xiaomi and not third parties. I know I could buy from online retailers, which have modified the phones and installed Google Play Store. But for me any device modified by third parties is a security risk!

Finally a worthy sucessor of my current Sony Z Ultra!
Design could have been better, but beggers can't be choosers I guess :o)

I have a note3 with 10000mah battery and that with wifi, 4g, bt, gps enabled and music(on bt) + gps goes off from it loses 10% charge per hour( 2.5 year old phone/battery ). I see it very challanging to run out of juice on this device within a day, on extreme heavy use ( hence seriously considering it! ). Probably the only thing can drain the battery off before you make it to the end of the day is heavy gaming.
