Every year is the same. As soon as a new SnapDragon chip is out, it is first released on "no-name" brands. But after that, big boys like Sony get to play with it and show them how it's done.
A chip is useless without good programing and kernel arhitecture.

                      I hope Xiaomi launches this phone in India soon after the China unveiling. This will sell in millions in India, if priced right.

                        So much for the samsung exclusivity.

                            Everything is perfect for this phone, just one things bothers me alot "RAM hogging MIUI". Please release a stock android variant this time.

                              The specs are just about ideal for me. If the price is right, I think I may switch to a cheaper Chinese brand instead of paying double from Samsung or LG.
