I've also just ordered - From ereader.store (German store). I live in the UK. I'm very much looking forward to recieving it. The page says that it is in stock but the description says it is expected in stock tomorrow. Either way it should be on its way soon. I'll probably post a few thoughts here after recieving it - Main usage will be reading PDF's for university (As well as standard epub)

I think it is ok as I saw they replied on their facebook that Likebook Mimas can support Google play store. Also it is android 6 system, maybe there is not much problem for android apps installation...

I find this product very expensive if you order it from aliexpress: it doesn't include taxes and its cost is near German seller's. And, of course, german seller's price includes its profit and VAT.

It's very expensive, it should cost 340 - 350 € maximum, in fact you can find in AliExpress a Xiaomi Mi 8 Global version for 300 €, obviously the Mi 8 sales are much more but it's components are more expensive, if Boyue does not fall the price I won't buy... 409 €? Seriously?

Is the Mimas Really Overpriced?

The MI 8 is also subsidized don't forget that. They make a loss selling the device but sell many data services on it. It even has ads in the settings menu in the stock roms. The mimas doesn't do this, it's a one price and it's yours to be an add free device that will sell in smaller volume.

The CPU RK3368 was released in 2015, it has 2GB RAM and 16 GB storage. Therefore the motherboard is really cheap, the finished is good but it is plastic, the only expensive things are the screen and the develop of the software, but 400 €?
Xiaomi could be subsidized, but how much? 50 €? It has 6 GB RAM, 64 GB storaged, latest Qualcomm CPU and Amoled display. Lei Jun (CEO of Xiaomi) said that Xiaomi products will have a margin of 5%, they don't sell with losses. It can cost perfectly 340 - 350 € with profits, the problem is the level of production that is very low by now. Last edited by Jose Manuel S; 01-21-2019 at 05:34 PM. |
