First of all, I wish to thank Microsoft for this very original project! Installing Windows 10 on an Android phone is a great opportunity for the ones who are in love with Windows mobile layout and features (In my experience W10 mobile is the plainest and simplest OS for cell phones, and with a better looking).
My experience of W10 on the Mi4 has been quite positive, but the ROM is still not perfect, and uncomfortable. Here the main problems I faced with the Mi4 LTE running W10 for a few weeks:
1) Display slightly stutters when scrolling: It's a slight stutter but it's awkward (I did not experience this issue with a less performing Lumia 435). It appears this problem is related to the CPU frequency governor: the stuttering issue DISAPPEARS when the phone is connected to the plug charger or, if disconnected, when executing heavy tasks on the background (see also http://ift.tt/2ax09dI)
2) Camera focusing is very slow, and fails most of the time: For indoor or close range pictures you need to (slowly) refocus several times to get a good shot!
3) Native language support is quite limited: While you can download keyboards, speech and regional formats for any language/country W10 supports, your "phone language" can be set just to English or Chinese.
4) Calendar tile showing the wrong date: while the date is correctly set (and appears correctly on the lock screen and other system apps/functions), sometimes the number appearing on the calendar tile of the home screen shows the next day number (today's day number +1).
5) Invisible freezes: Sometimes the phone got stuck (could not send/receive calls, sms, or data) even while apparently looking in normal state. Need to reboot the phone to solve the issue.
6) Not all phone capabilities are exploited: There's no support for led notifications and infrared blaster.
I'm really an enthusiast supporter of this project, but this first attempt Microsoft has undertaken is not in a definitive state! I believe the issues above should be addressed to make the W10 experience on the Xiaomi Mi4 really preferable to the native OS.
I hope Microsoft developers will spend some more efforts on this device, and make it a first great example of a dual OS phone!
