Q: Does the Mi5 have the bootloader locked?
A: The answer is yes. Xiaomi stated that this is due to greater security that a locked bootloader can horrify the end user in case his device is lost. It is recommended not to unlock the bootloader, which can therefore be done at the discretion of the device owner.
Now a small personal note. As you have noticed, between bands FDD-LTE, the ones compatible in Europe, is included 20 band, the fateful band from 800 MHz not supported by most Chinese devices. The new Xiaomi supports the band from 800 MHz? The answer is not immediate! You will have in fact also noticed that in brackets we put the words "Incerte"Because those are the theoretical bands that I have Snapdragon 820 should support but that will have to be verified in practice. For the moment, therefore, we prefer not to spread false news and we give you an appointment as soon as there is the opportunity to try it firsthand to give you confirmation about the compatibility with this frequency. Stay tuned!
