Surprised no one has brought this up yet...Xiaomi annouced the Mi MIX, which sports a 6.4" borderless display! Looks like a gamechanger to me! Thoughts?
I saw on another forum that Geek buying had it up for preorder - 800+ cad for the 4/128gb version and over 1000 for the 6/256gb. I could never spend that much money on a phone with effectively no warranty (well, ship it back to China for 80 bucks and hope they don't decide to say it's water damage when it isn't warranty, any way). I loved me some grey market ChinaPhones, but I struggle to spending more than 250CAD, based on warranty issues alone. And God help you if its DOA.
The fact that comes with no borders, a Snapdragon 821 ( 8 core) 4/6 GB of ram, 4k video recording fast charging (81% in 30 min) and finger print make me salivating. Also the price is cool.
but, I'd have to wait until some user reviews come out to get an idea of what the real problems are. I'm worried about the performance of that piezo type speaker as a replacement for the top ear speaker.

Yeah, the Chinese phones are really only good for LTE on Rogers/Fido. The Rogers 2600 coverage far surpasses everybody else's. but LeEco is launching in the US next month, with full NA LTE band support, so that's promising. I like the look of the Le Pro 3. Especially at $299us
