Those are indeed very nice numbers, lets see in 3 or 4 weeks if they still in the same numbers, but, if they still, we are talking about millions of phones in 3 months....

Were in the latest age where we could make a 128 gig internal memory. So why it has a very low internal memory? A standard smartphone internal memory should be atleast 32 gig of memory cause all android smartphone manufacturers are known to install crappy software. An example of this is the SGS4. It's internal memory is reduced to 9 gig. So a 100,000 xiaomi sold phones is not a big deal.

              Cheap knockoff of Lumia which probably did not undergo quality assurance tests hence its cheap price, of course it will sell like hotcakes but only in China.

But due to technology, your phone can be a TV or a semi-laptop...

                                  This is not a success or something, a phone with quad core is allways charming, stunning...

                                  So what about the rest?
                                  1 gb of low quality high latency ram, 4 gb eMMC storage with funny partition amounts, extremely powerful SGX 544 and the big part!: 8 mp shiny camera...
                                  Don't worry about software support, there will be not.
                                  Building qualty isn't worth to talk about...

                                  Its allways will be allways cheap phones in the market, not only Xiaomi there are tons almost same specs...
                                  But people forgot.
                                  Our world become a huge globe shaped trashcan, very soon will see that everyone.

                                  And not only Xiaomi causes that, even big companies and ofcourse grasping people (we are, all of us, consuments)
                                  We consuming ourselves...
