            I would rather get the S4 which is anytime a better phone as the price would have fallen drastically now. Other options would be the Sony Xperia Z1.

Yes, xiaomi doesn't make much profit out of Mi3, but when people say xiaomi mi3 is up to Note3 performance or compete directly with note3, sorry, you are pure arrogant and just looking at the paper without using both phone. Yes mi3 is a good phone indeed, for the price, you get Grand2 or Mega which is way below mi3 performance. But when it comes to flagship, its still far behind.

                    I can comment on How Xiaomi creates the Hype and seels in Seconds.

                    e.g. They will
                    1. Officially Announce the Phone on 01-July
                    2. Then Officially Launch the Phone on 15-July
                    3. Then they ask people to Register online on eCommerce portal from 15-July to 21-July
                    4. They will start selling these phones on 22-July

                    Now see the HYPE that is created and some loyalists being developed using the above strategy

                    They are really playing it smart and using the Digital Marketing route!!
                    cheers, open for further comments

                      Just wondering... Why xiaomi smartphones are sold out very quickly? Are they offer highend specs with lower price? Or maybe nice quality?

                          One of the strong point of Xiaomi compared to other low cost Chinese phones is the software (UI is beautifully done, and cute, better than Samsung) and its continuous software update support.

                            What's coming first in people heads with Xiaomi is price/performance. Prestige come in latter.

                            Different with iCrap/Samdung/Nokipret which already have souls of prestige.

                            I do like Xiaomi, but she's still there; still no competition in this aspect.

                              NOTE ?
                              Sounds a bit misleading. The first thing to come to my mind was Samsung. They could have given their phablet a different name.

                                        as long as the selling price is right, xiaomi will definitely become the favorite choice for most ordinary folks out there. keep it up! am getting 2 xiaomi this week!
