                        Good to know.
                        Suggestion: have some manufacturing facilities in Africa to lower the purchase cost to Africans, and give jobs to people as well.

                                Xiaomi, come to Kenya running. I want to see whether you manage to steal me away from Samsung.

                                  This requires localization to hell load of African languages.

                                      Xiaomi should speed things up and start selling in Africa, especially in Ghana because SAMSUNG is over Ghana with their device which we're tired of it.

                                        Anonymous, 23 Aug 2015Africa don't even have the standard internet requirement fo... moreWho told you Africa does not operate 3G and 4G with the required industry standards? You have to note that Nokia-Siemens Networks, Huawei & ZTE are given contracts to build the 3G and 4G wireless networks in Africa. Note that unlike the U.S. and EU, phones are not specifically made for this market and most networks ensure that they support at least 95% of all global network bands. Keep in mind that Safaricom Kenya has the fastest 4G network in the world (100+ Mbps practically tested and approved). So stop hating and we welcome Xiaomi to take on the likes of Samsung and Huawei.
