    Xiaomi is a nice phone, i never owned it. but my housemaid son owned it.
    that's why my next phone is probably Xiaomi...
    ps : my LG G3 is a gift, i didn't buy it...

    that's why i disable the auto download media content...
    but too lazy to move things to SD card, so that's why i want WA to add that feature...

    :)

    I won't do late night reading on phone! I have a PC for that!!! >.<
    I don't receive much stuff, I left all spam groups in the first 5s I was added, so I'm fairly safe.

    before i forgot, i actually said this earlier, but i'll post it again here...

    try selling or cancelling your J5 ?
    and get Xiaomi Mi6, it has 64GB of internal, and the specs is also very good...

    edit :
    nvm, it seems you replied to the other one...

    I don't care much for the specs, as long as it has a certain minimum of RAM, and a decent internal storage, I'm good... J5 already fits my needs pretty well.

    It's not cheap actually... That's 3/5th of a minimum wage... It's quite expensive IMO.

    Things like the S8 cost twice a minimum wage though...

    the minimum wage here is around 300$, so it costed more than half the minimum wage...

    of course it's expensive for us, but what i mean is the phone is the value type...

    There is no way I'd pay more than a minimum wage on a phone...
    Seems about the same then, it was in a offer with 10% discount. So the price was a bit cheaper.

    I'd rather buy a book, or a game, or a PC or food, or save up, or... Literally anything that is not a better phone...

    Well, I don't care much about phones though.

    that's why when using phone, i usually buy at least a mid range one...

    Well... My 1st phone lasted until my father nagged me enough to buy something with Android.

    My 2nd phone lasted until the amount of storage it had couldn't handle my needs anymore.

    My 3rd phone will arrive next week... >.>

    So yeah... I usually don't change stuff until they break, I already feel weird enough to change phones twice without them breaking tbh...

    btw my mom also uses a cheap samsung phone.
    and the camera died...

    agree, i usually read on my phone, for late night reading...
    reading while on the bed is much more relaxing, than sitting in front of my PC...

    Benefit of buying a Xoami: bootloader is unlocked, so rooting it is as easy an installing an app
