sweet jesus, a beefy snapdragon 800 chipset device ranging below 20k?
I still don’t get the rage these days with popular Chinese phones. Shell out a few more bucks and you’ll have a branded, warrantied and guaranteed software updates from the big 4: Sammy, Apple, LG and Sony.
No to Chinese-branded phones! Charot.
Dude, with that price, what can you possibly buy in a samsung store? In apple? In Lg? In Sony? That can match the specs of this phone? My phone, cherry mobile, other local brands, have their own warranty and support. Some of them sucks, but what’s important is, there is a support present for each brand.
Honestly, I have the money to buy branded phones. But because these phones wouldn’t last in my pocket’ (upgrades to most recent hardware candy phones) I would prefer to shell out less than 15k to get a phone with this kind of hardware.
Unless we get the ara this year, people would prefer these kinds of gadgets over samsung, apple, lg, or sony.
The reality will still be people opting to a cheaper but powerful phones. Branding these days ain’t worth it.
wow.. the specs are okay for its price.. 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, full HD, 2.3 GHZ speed, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, WiFi Direct, even the battery is okay as well, a thing most mobile phones fail to meet. nice.
Closest thing to Lumia Android. Sweeeeet!
“No microSD card support”
Deal-breaker. Pass.
Yep pretty sad pero you have to admit at this price point and with top-notch processor and GPU this is a freaking steal. Kung more storage ang kelangan just get the 32GB variant I’m pretty sure 2-3K lang ang difference.
Sus wala ka lang pambile. Poorlube.
Ok lng nman kase pinagbawal n rin nman ng google ang apps2sd tangibg gamit n lng ng sd card e music at movies n lng which i think d n masyadong kailangan lalo n kung 16 to 32gb k n for music pero sa movies well essential sya.
@Rambsey. You are either a promoter of this company or an owner who prides using the device and the brand. Your comment has unfounded facts. First, Xiaomei is a billion-dollar non US company. Second, it cannot possible brand itself as Apple in China because no other legal and authorized entities resells the Apple brand.
Set it straight.
Hey @Justine, you must have misunderstood the comment of @Rambsey. 1st he only meant that Xiaomi, as a company, is worth a BILLION (US) DOLLAR. 2nd some critics labeled Xiaomi as the Apple of China, that’s simply because Xiaomi was able to overtook Apple in its MARKETSHARE in China.

Haha. Thanks Karl for making him understood what I said. And NO I don’t promote, I just wanted to enlighten the online trolls
He just meant that Xiaomi is popular and big name in China like how Apple is popular in the West.
And a billion dollar(US) company just what karl said.
Try to understand the comment first before replying
Me too. Hindi aabot ng ganyan ang Xiaomi kung walanh reputasyon. As much as I would love to love our local products, they’re poor at customer service at hindi durable talaga. I tried both cherry mobile and myphone androids, they only lasted for a few months, cherry mobile only lasted 2 months.. Tsk tsk nakakainis. So i bought iphone 5s of my hard earned money and now xiaomi mi3 coz i’ve been waiting for this. This phone really has good reviews and feedback online from around the world, hindi lang sa china.. Peace for cherry mobile or myphone fans, but i can no longer stand the poor quality ng local phones natin..
I’m buying this because cherry mobile or myphone are fragile phones. Xiaomi is a Billion US dollar company. They’re labeled as Apple in China. Durability wise, our local phones are way too poor.
is it LTE?
Xiaomi will not launch phones here. Too low demand.
No importer stupid enough to risk customs and bir harassment just to import this at low profit
@jesus: now, what can you say na nag-launch na ang xiaomi sa Pinas through Lazada? he he he… eh di kinain mo rin sinabi mo :-)
Snapdragon 800 + Adreno 330? Shutup and take my money! Sayang at 16gb lang ang internal.. Alam ko may 64gb version neto (correct me if I’m wrong). An additional 1k-2k for 64gb? Why not. This is a steal for it’s price.. Pero sana pumasok din sa Pinas ang 1+1 (crossed-finger).
Para sa mga taong nagsasabing pangit ang quality ng China brands. Please do some research. Ang mura mura magpiso net eh. -_-
excuse me,OPPO,XIAOMI ETC.are new company and not popular outside china but its hell not cheap,snapdragon chipsets are not cheap infact its better than MTK processors,which is inside phones like cherrymobile,myphone and yes! LENOVO so saying those brands are cheap is somewhat..hmmm
im using SUMSUNG NOTE 3 by the way,but im not BIAS to it..
Hintayin niyo nalang magka OnePlus One sa Pinas, wag na pag awayan yan
tama ka jan isa pang bago pero oks na oks na phone china na rin yan..=P ginawa..,the more options the better for us comsumers..
And to think, LTE in the Philippines is a bit pricey and yet gives poor bandwidth allocation. I’m still fine on WCDMA. Unless they change the 1.5gb cap a month to 1.5gb a day, there and then i’ll buy an LTE phone.
Oo nga naman. HSPA+ lang okay na okay na. Tsaka di lahat lugar dito pilipinas may signal ng LTE.
