have you tried magnetic dock charging, just place you phone and it charges, even if you slightly misaligned, the magnets will place it in correct positon

also, qi charging seems not popular, only a few flagships adopt it this year, are there disadvantages ? seems pricey as well, unless you get a no brander one
gotta admit, dual sim would be pretty nice to have.
@imparanoic Had Qi on my N5 and thought it was great. You can pick up a non branded Qi charger quite cheaply. I thought about getting the dock for the z3, but have opted for using a magnetic adaptor. I still prefer Qi over the magnetic option (I guess personal choice). The other thing about Qi, its not propitiatory, unlike Sony's magnetic (which they have phased out for their newer models).
Xiaomi Mi4c released today. Rumoured specs as follows:
- Two variants: 16GB / 2GB Ram and 32GB / 3GB Ram. Rumours of a 64GB variant
- 5 inch screen, 1080p resolution
- 3080 mAh battery
- LTE
- Snapdragon 808
- Quick Charge 2.0
- USB type C
- 13MP rear camera / 5MP front camera
Still not clear on NFC, dual sim or not, Qi charging.
Downside at the moment, its Xiaomi and will come with MIUI
I think the real problem is that most flagship phones are overpriced and too similar to each other.
I've found the best way to get value is to buy last year's flagship.
Released. Seems to support NFC and dual sim. Still no word on QI charging. Very competitive pricing as well.

Tempted, but will have to wait to see what Google announce next week.
One problem I find with Xiaomi devices is the Android OS they run is quite heavily customised to look like IOS. I prefer a more stock Android experience. Im not sure you can flash a generic version of android on them or not.
