I did book it On xiaomi site but was not lucky enough to get one in the booking
so bought from the Grey mkt as & when it was available
i paid 2900 yuan aprox 29000 INR for it around 9k premium but that is how xiaomi new launches are either pay premium or wait a few months
well my first impression with the phone
"It seemed like Iphone married Nexus 5 & the result was this crossbreed called MI4 "
It got all the good looks of Iphone & the speed n power of Android"
Actually Xiaomi has always been inspired by the apple from the beigning the Miui launcher was more like the iphone with no conventional app drawer like the androids
all xiaomi products have a seamless integration with each other just like the apple , i have been using Xiaomi Tv , Xiaomi Wifi router , xiaomi Tv box & practically no setup is required to attach devices to each other
But xiaomi have done the job well the Brushed steel feels Great to Hold
the phone size of 5 inch is really handy to hold compared to One Plus One
it shares same specs & price as the ONE Plus One ( have used it also )
but 5.5 is difficult to handle with one hand
Presently Using the CDMA variant of MI3 waiting for the CDMA variant of MI4 to launch hope fully it will be launched by end of this month
