Xio... what?

Xio... what? That's what came in my mind when I first read about Xiaomi. What phone is that? What kind of company is that? Well, I know some of the 'Big daddy' and some familiar 'China phone', but Xiaomi?

I first read about Xiaomi from an article by Amanz.my. Xiaomi Mi3 launch? Is RM889 that cheap for 'China phone'? What are those hype about? 8 minutes sold-out in Singapore during 1st launch? This I got to research :p

I'm not interested about Xiaomi itself. I know it's from China. I'm not sure if the brand is reliable as some of the 'Giant' there. So for my first step, lets find out about Mi3 itself.

What's inside Xiaomi Mi3, I mean under the case (casing)? Well after 'googling' here and there, I got some of the key features:

Chipset

• CPU:  Quad-core 2.3GHz, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 8274AB
• GPU :        Adreno 330

Camera

• Camera (back): 13 Megapixels
• Camera (front): 2 Megapixels
• Flashdual-LED

Battery

• Capacity:  3050mAh

RAM

• RAM: 2GB RAM
• Flash memory: 16GB

Display

• Display: 5-inch Full HD 1080p, IPS Retina display, 441ppi, 1920x1080 pixel

Operating System

• Android: 4.3 optimized with MIUI version 5

What the?!!

I believe other 'smarties' with the same specs would cost around RM1600 or above. How come Xiaomi selling it for only RM889? Are they nuts?

Ah, don't bother! At least the users get the benefits of it. Hey, wait a minute.... What about me?

I started thinking about exchanging my 'lagy-smarty' phone. What if... My budget is tight, but the desire is high. I got to try my luck. I must have this phone!

Unfortunately, I don't own a credit/debit card... So, bye-bye Xiaomi :'( 

4000 units sold out on just 17 minutes? Why Malaysian so desperate? Ayya! I 'wantu'...
