Oppo beat Xiaomi only becasue it decided to go global. Oppo is now in Africa like in my country and people are buying their phones, I cannot wait for Xiaomi to bo global since I personally do not like the under $250 offering from Oppo
LOL you mean Oppo sub $250 is pure craps underpower low-end mobilephone.
Yeah Xiaomi is too conservative, even in Singapore the mobile prices are much more expensive compare to china prices or india (prices never go down compare to the date they released the model, try 1-2 years ago !!!!) .
Well i guess we are not their primary target countries LOL, sad but truth. This is why the international buyers bought from other china brands like OnePlus, etc
