How did you pick up a Xiaomi, online? how is it, I came close to buying one but instead went for a nexus, it was on sale and couldnt resist picking up a smartphone for $350 OFF CONTRACT, now a days any unlocked branded smartphone cost $600-$1000
@S2007S In Asia it's easy to buy these lesser known brands, got it online for about $225 but could've gotten it even cheaper. It's unlocked and as for branding, it really doesn't matter as all the components are same that are found in the iPhones and Galaxies - Qualcomm CPU, Corning Gorilla glass, Sony camera etc. With Samsung and Apple products, around half of your phones price is the cost of marketing, I enthusiastically refuse to pay for that. 1 year on it's performing fine, some minor issues only, just like with every product.
