      Xiaomi makes phones with great specs, vivid FLAT SCREENS (that do not suffer from annoying glares issue), and are decently priced. Way to go, Xiaomi! We wish you lots of luck.

        Random, 05 May 2018Xiaomi is gaining market share cuz of their low cost phones... moreExactly people in these broke countries literally have no choice but to buy Xiaomi aka iPhone knockoffs both in terms of hardware and software, the question is how long can this company sustain their low prices before they're forced to increase them like OnePlus did.

          Xiaomi is only relevant because of their cheap low-to-midrange phones not their flagships and the Asians love cheap phones so that's why they're on the rise. If you care about only flagship phones like me then Samsung and Apple dominates. Huawei is respectable because they have an identity lol

            Techfan21, 04 May 2018What's that bit about wallpapers? You can change your wall... moreLike everything its a most secure phone on the market along with blackberry.
            But the phone restrict you from almost anything.
            Which is disgusting and most people dont llike that.
            I like free clean OS without any extra bloatware which will disguisse its self like a part of an OS and cant be removed.

              This is just sad indicator that wealth of average citizen in the world is decreasing.

              Either that or people "had enough" of smartphones and are fed up with everything and just want something cheap for basic purposes.

              The same as phenomenom of people leaving social media, and also people who use dumb phones again.

                Xiaomi is following an unsustainable bussiness model. they cannot survive for long (5 years max). either they must increase their hardware price by 15-20% or there will be no Xiaomi (the brand might survive, just like NOKIA).

                  justpassingby, 04 May 2018sdcard, third party app, live wallpaper perhaps? Bluetooth ... moreMany phones now don't have an SD Card slot, and the base 64 gigs is more than enough for most people anyway.
                  You can download third party apps from Safari, and load the configuration profile in settings to use them too. And anyone can do it, it's not hard either. Just like to point out though, this is piracy.
                  iOS has live wallpapers, as long as your phone is later than the 6s, not including the SE.
                  Bluetooth file transfer, really?
                  You can just use shareit to send any kind of file.
                  No offense,
                  But either you've never used iOS and just wanna bash because it's Apple. Or you do use an iOS device but truly aren't using it to the maximum potential.

                    Xiaomi is gaining market share cuz of their low cost phones. Their target market is 3rd world countries in Asia where people cannot afford high end phones. If Apple made a solid iPhone with large screen & priced it around 400$ then even people in these budget conscious countries will easily jump to Apple, in fact Xiaomi was always reffered to as budget Apple, they take lot of inspiration from Apple.

                      in 2 or 3 years sony will probably sell its mobile division to china, just like motorola. LOL.
