The replacement #screenProtector arrived from #China last night, so this old one is getting retired after having performed its job admirably.
It's made sure my #phone screen survived at least 3 falls by taking the impact and each time only partially shattering further, and thus has definitely been worth its money.

I can't recommend getting a #temperedGlass screen protector enough... It's a lot easier and cheaper to replace than your phone's screen!

#Xiaomi #MiA #Mi5X

@kemonine

I still kinda miss the fold-out physical keyboards of my older #WindowsMobile devices such as the #HTC #TyTN2 and the #XperiaX1i (which actually was a rebranded HTC #Kovsky).

I guess adding one will make it harder to also keep it waterproof... And admittedly, the ribbon cable for the keyboard or screen, was one of the first things to fail.

Unfortunately I've yet to find a good clip-on physical #keyboard for my #Xiaomi #MiA1 / #Mi5X

@dredmorbius that's one of the reasons my most recent phone was the #Xiaomi #MiA1 (which essentially is the #Mi5X with #StockAndroid).

Since it is an #AndroidOne device, it came with the promise of frequent OTA updates till at least #Android9 (Pie), even though it was released with #Android7 (Nougat).

It likely won't see an official update to #Android10 (Q), but Xiaomi devices are generally well-supported in the ROM community.
