    For those moaning against chinese brands... get a xiaomi or huawei flagship first, try it, and after 3 years that it will still work flawlessly come back and report. Since then, simply sush

The right balance is achieved when you get the specs you need for the price you can pay. I would rather pay 200-300 bucks more and get future proofed specs than something with a shitty display. Or bad UI.

            I think will be slightly different pricing if they hit officially in Indonesia. Planning to upgrade to this phone soon!

Of course, you could still import it and that's great, but there is the small caveat of potentially not getting 4G, and not getting warranty (but it would be worth it).

                  chinese phones dont generally advertise like say samsung there tactic is via e-shops, and giving reviewers samples thats how the advertise, so you will almost never pay crazy amounts as a consumer for advertisement

                  and everything you mentioned if you apply it to a samsung phone for someone who in the west like in the carribean that will have to import it.....

                          Those are the prices for the Chinese home market, I want to see how much it'll cost when it goes on sale in the US especially after shipping and taxes.

                            AnonD-442781, 24 Feb 2016Firstly, it'll probably be more expensive abroad. Secondly,... moreThere are actually a few things the Mi5 is definitely better than the S7 other than pricing:
                            1. The 128 GB of internal storage pro version.
                            2. The exclusive and exotically premium ceramic back on the pro.
                            3. The image stabilization with it's 4 axis tech.
                            4. Rear camera resolution.
                            5. Battery life since it's only with1080p display.
                            6. Performance! The S7 will lose by a margin, again since it's display is only 1080p.
                            So that's a lot of win besides the obvious pricing advantage.

                              Rotten apple, 24 Feb 2016Well said bro... BACK DOORS End user is always on stake. ... moreThese chinese copycat phones cannot compete in US with Apple,Samsung,LG,Sony flagships.... One simple reason is they will be trashed and thrashed for licensing disputes..... They always are imported by third party companies. Only in emerging countries like India they can sell directly,because laws are not strict here..... Coming to the point..... I am ok to send my data to US companies like facebook,google because they are governed by US laws... Btw I dont use facebook...

There is a difference between chinese home grown manufacturing companies (like Xiaomi,lenovo,huawei) and outsourced for manufacturing (like apple,samsung,lg,sony)
