Recently Chinese Phone manufacturers, Xiaomi have been on the news either with one new mid range or semi flagship or flagship device but anyhow they are always making something. The praises are going to high places for them, they are even nicknamed the Apple of China and now reports say they are the 3rd highest manufacturers globally falling only behind Apple and Samsung. However, they (Xiaomi) are the first in China.
How through are all these claims, is anybody here using a Xiaomi phone? Have they lived up to the hype?
Your turn now, bye bye.

Well, haven't had one before, but from what I see on review sites & from individual user review, Xiaomi phones are very good & also affordable.

I don't know about Apple of China, but statistics claims they are doing very well in the market.

Did you use Google apps on them? I read that they don't come with Google apps.

Yes.

They don't come with Google apps but there's an application that you can use to install all core Google apps at one tap.

It will install Google framework, Google play services etc.

Even the one I am commenting with didn't come with Google apps but I use Google apps on it

You don't need to wait. We have this phone currently in stock.

Xiaomi MIUI have two versions. China and Global ROM.

China miui doesn't come with Google play service because of Chinese government policy, while the global miui comes with Google service.

What did you succeed in saying now?

Truely, xiaomi is a good device, using redmi1s for a year and no doubt it's very ok, has fallen severally without any crack, and the clarity and pixels are outstanding, d 8mp is more dan c8 camon 13mp, not to talk of d higher devices like mi3,mi4,d note and d likes.. Hopefully in d next few months dey wld start business fully with Africa and would competite with, infinix, injoo, tecno and d likes, surely dey wld give dem a run for d money!

Expensive Chinese brand.

Why buy a Xiaomi, One Plus 2, and the likes when you can purchase a (Samsung galaxy S5, S6, Galaxy Alpha, HTC M8, M9, HTC Desire Eye) at the same and even lesser prices?


I almost f00lishly fell for a 70k Xiaomi, only to discover there are Samsung phones at same/relative prices with better, unique and enhanced spec.

XIAOMI phones are not as cheap. MI2 will be like 33k when available. The MI4 will be close to 70k. The phones are strong but they mostly look other products. I wrote something about XIAOMI recently at

How much is HTC desire eye?

about 80K

about 80K

So what are we talking about? It's more expensive than the Xiaomi we're discussing. Other phones you mentioned are also quite costly; Galaxy s5 is above 80k(with its CHEAP plastic body), S6 is lovely but above 120k, Galaxy Note 4 is also good but around 115k. The xiaomi Note 2 is 46k Max and you can't mention any Samsung , LG , HTC phone at that 46k price range that will beat it, can you?
As for over 50k, forget it, I won't buy Xiaomi above that range.
