I mistakenly dismissed Mi of having established their retail stores in China and outlying countries. But my comment started as an opinion and ended with a suggestion. It also clearly showed how less (and not everything) I know about Mi. It just recently came to my discovery that our local Mi Exclusive Service Centers double as in-house/retail stores of Mi products. It just didn't come to my attention at first as service centers here usually do not sell handset units but more often than not, just accessories. I sure do hope they push their plan of setting up that Mi Home near my home :-)

This is natural evolution, it was bound to happen. The value proposition by flagships that cost a fifth to build is dropping as the industry becomes more accessible and part suppliers are doing the r&d for the modules they sell.

[deleted post]Well, at least its considerably better than the cheap Chinese crap from Apple. And yeah, just because Apple is charging you several times the cost does not mean that its not cheap Chinese crap.

While Xiaomi doesn't own or operate any of its own stores, the last 6 months they have been doing a huge push at subsidizing existing and new physical mobile phone stores in China to rebrand themselves as "Mi.com" stores which predominantly feature Xiaomi phones but also sell other brands as usual. These stores are easy to spot as they're all redone in the Mi orange color scheme with a big "Mi.com" logo in front. This is by far Xiaomi's largest conventional marketing push to date. Actually the location grouping in some cases is getting quite ridiculous where you'll see several orange "Mi.com" stores on the same street just a hundred meters apart (like Starbucks in the states).
As many Chinese are still very old-fashioned and/or yet not familiar with online shopping (especially amongst the lower-class/uneducated market that their lower priced phones tend to target here), it's critical Xiaomi has a physical in-store presence otherwise there is no way they would move 16+ million phones in one quarter. To think that is all direct online sales would be ridiculous.

As for Xiaomi, not so impressive numbers and with their low average selling price it is quite insignificant. Maybe in the future they can be viable alternatives also in mature markets but for now their "high end" devices are too much lacking, very old fashioned displays that slurps battery and no oleophobic coating are both big dealbreakers that are hard to justify with only lower price.

Good to see Samsung drop so significantly, thats what happens to companies that screw their customers (like HTC fall from grace, went from number one to number nobody), the silent introduction of the region lock and the lies and the smokescreens surrounding it afterwards has made it clear that Samsung cannot be trusted any further than you can throw a locomotive, and im not talking about Marklin locomotives. Happy to see more and more people are saying No to these notorious criminals.
