    That’s a big achievement in very short span of time. It shows the believe and faith of Chinese consumer base on this brand. I wish they start exploring other countries as well.

    “Xiaomi’s business model of keeping demand high and supply short has helped created a fevered buzz around the company and it’s products.”
    This is one of the reasons why xiaomi totally piss me off. It was acceptable during the MiOne era but they dont have any excuses this days i mean they are now worth $10 billion. I almost had a nervous breakdown waiting for the MiOne to available back then hehe but atleast they helped me discover gizchina. I gave up on their products ever since the mtk6577 dual sims came out. Its like hunting down a unicorn or the lochness if you dont live in china.
