Or would you like to say that iPhones are the best phones in the market? I'm not talking about Samsung, Huawei or other brands who is releasing more then 10 different models a year.

Tech gurus and trendy people will go with the brand first. I would never buy Samsung or Nokia or what ever old brand over Xiaomi when i get more from Xiaomi then i get from said brands with twice the price. The build quality cant be that good on them over Xiaomi. I own Xiaomi phone and from my experience in 20 years of phones i cant say that these are bad quality in any way.

LG Superfan, 30 Aug 2018OIS, NFC, DAC are little things and I dont think metal/glas... morePerhaps not, but enough to differentiate from all rounder flagship like Mi 8. That display alone has quite a gap, as Super AMOLED might cost twice as much as an LCD. I don't know in your country, but here POCO F1 is priced 1.5x higher than Mi A2 ($300 vs $200), which is not around the same at all.

It's basically what your saying right now.
The one that imports the phones to country will sell it in every city electronics shops so it does not matter where people live in that said country they still get to buy the phone. It's not restricted to be a citizen of that said city to be able to buy the phone.

Post addressing other posts also, IR blaster, do you really need a phone to turn on the TV etc.
You can't physically complete an order in 5 seconds, what you do do is First, get connected and begin the order process, those who don't make this First cut are second, join a queue on hold, until the First wave complete, then there is the unsuccessful who don't through sheer numbers at are placed outside the number if handsets on offer
Within 5 seconds you say some calls did not make it! Xiaomi state 5 minutes, say there are only 100 lines with a queue for 10 and an active order, you needed to dial multiple times.
Finally a fact I did not know the S4 is the best selling Android https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9293&idPhone2=9109&idPhone3=5371
The S4 uses snapdragon 600 flagship 2013 entry phone 2018, The Snapdragon 845 is the flagship Soc in 2018 and same as Oneplus 6
Flagship SoC is the appeal, and what the naysayers fail to realize there are phones Snapdragon 660, 636 which cost more than the pocophone
The naysayers should realize that a phenomenal sales record for this phone should lower the cost of desired model
If they want to pay high prices they can

If xiaomi puts this in stores then prices will increase. Flash sales is like free publicity.

Xiaomi is really good at manipulating (or gaming) the supply of their phones to make it appear they are in extremely high demand.
68,000 units for a phone like this? Pfft! A better measure of how well this sells is to put it in RETAIL and brick-and-mortar stores and see if it can sell more than 40 MILLION units six months after its release (and beat the Galaxy S4 for the best-selling Android phone in history). The hype alone will be enough to sell this in the hundreds of millions (judging by the reception of, everyone, really.

Let's see display? The display is extremely well calibrated so the display isn't compromised on.
Ram? 6 Gb of lpddr4 is definitely flagship grade.
Memory? Ufs 2.1. Fastest memory available.
Battery? 4000 mah. Better than most flagships.
Cooling? Liquid cooling. Even better than their more expensive Mi8
Camera? Not the best for sure but it still has one of the best sensors out there.
Sensors? Other than nfc it has everything else that one could want including ir blaster
So besides nfc and the camera it has almost everything other flagships have. The build quality is not as premium but honestly I order polycarbonate over breakable glass of slippery metal backs.
