Xiaomi have to pay patent, license etc. that will increase the price. last time i heard, they were sued for patent infringement.
Previously, people dont care about xiaomi because they were just a 'little, unknown' chinese company.
Now they already gain huge popularity, what will happen is more 'patent trolls' will sued them.

Its still seems to be reasonable to buy... By considering the top notch specs the cost is cheaper...

This is good new to apple and samsung. Esp Sammy, no more price cuts to be competitive in the android camp, filled with cheap china droids, now Huawei, Oppo, and Xiaomi is going premium!

They are forgetting that the reason they became popular is the fact that they were cheap... They letting it all go to their head now, and i predict a dip in their sales. But hey good luck ;)

I would only consider China brand if there cost half of Samsung /Sony, any higher price I'll rather get Samsung.
MIUI is light years behind TW.

Still cheaper anyway than what other big companies will sell their top phones for. And please, don't say spend 200 more dollars and get Big Brand X - not everyone gets 200 dollars in a heartbeat.

looks like qualcomm went into loss last year because samsung opted out of their flagship chipset. Now they are trying to get samsung use their chips and trying everything possible .. "Samsung exclusive" is just too much.
