Xiaomi are currently building production up steam for a full on
China wide launch after problems along the supply chain put China's latest all original
Android smartphone on hold. However, the
Gingerbread powered, dual-core Xiaomi is shipping and it comes packed in stylish eco-friendly
packaging.
Xiaomi have put a lot of time and effort in to the
design of the
box, which details the Xiaomi's internals rather than design, and can reportedly take the weight of an electronics company CEO jumping up and down on it!
The looks like something you would get from Muji, with it's all natural simple look. It makes a refreshing change from the classy white of Meizu's boxing and compact style of the iPhone 4S' .
Inside the box, Xiaomi have supplied a 4-inch protector to keep everything looking as good as new while resting in your pocket.
Overall the 1.5 Ghz
dual core Xiaomi
phone looks like great complete package, especially when considering the 8-megapixel rear camera, large 4-inch
screen and wonderful attention to detail the designers have gone to for what is essentially a budget
phone on the Chinese market!
The Xiaomi is on limited release for 1999 Yuan ($314) but if you are a forum member you may still be able to pick one up for 1699 Yuan! ($267).
