    Not that i personally hate mediatek but in reality their hardware sucks especially GPU, and their lack of android support always deter me to buy their product *sigh*

    So i will wait for the Qualcomm version of Redmi note 5.
    Again i am so disappointed that Xiaomi don’t want to use SD660 for their Redmi note lines
