You forgot to mention Xiaomi Mi5 - amazing phone for its price, less than 500$ for 128GB version.
And regarding FCC - it impossible to certify an unicorn since no one could catch it.

In my case I have to import any phone, so it is not problem for me.

Yeah but in the US Xiaomi is not really seen as anything but knock off devices really and with the restrictions in place many will never buy their devices.

It won't stop me if I'll decide to go on it :cyclops: Honestly speaking, after canceling Meizu Pro 5 mini Xiaomi Mi5 looks like my best choice in case Saygus V2 will be demonstrated at MWC once again :silly::laugh::victory:

Xiaomi MI5 is currently for $369 from Oppomart. Shipping to the US via FedEx costs $25. The seller is reputable.
I got mine and it is really awesome.

Thats another OEM that is seen as just another knock off device.

Most China based devices are see as nothing more then cheap knock offs and security risks. Heck most of them are not even allowed to be owned if you have government jobs here.

What network are you using? Can it be rooted?

I really like this phone and will get on if Saygus stays quiet about a delivery this month. They have pissed me off beyond belief with these delays.

I am on AT&T.. I didn't try to root it.
The phone is stunning, and the only problem is that it doesn't support LTE here. But the net speed is still great.

Still on the lookout for dual SIM and SD card though. Replaceable battery would be nice, but I can live without that if the other boxes are ticked.

Cat s60 looks to tick the dual SIM and SD card expansion boxes, whilst having a mahoosive battery and something about a thermal imaging camera...
Lacks an IR blaster, but has everything else :good:

Not waterproof, not MIL-SPEC drop proof, Dual SIM OR Sim1 + MicroSD, not both.
A waterproof Note 6/7 might do it, if they bring the IR blaster back - and there's a bump case for it.

Got bored and Note 7 too much $$$ for little gain. Blackview BV6000 wins.

No IrDA, no stylus, sealed battery (but mahoosive) and no Qi charging* , but:
Marshmallow
Octa-core
IP-68 and ruggedised
Dual-active SIM
SD card
NFC
Two extra hardware buttons

and only £175 delivered! :good:

*might try and sneak a Qi receiver into the casing...

Anyone know of any phones that will let me plug in two Micro SD cards? That was by far my greatest draw to the Scamgus V2.
Ideally 1x microsd, 1x sim, and 1x hybrid slot?
