I would've agreed with you years ago when you could find phones made elsewhere (woot finland! ) but meh all phones are chinese pieces-o-crap these days since they're all made over there (even the internals)
never played with a xiaomi but if they're anything like huaweis i wouldn't mind them
plus it's using japanese/korean branded internals (if that means anything)
I wouldnt pay $600 for the Note Pro... specs arent too impressive for a company known to bring cheap phones to the market... I think they are starting to get greedy now that they have a brand thats well known around the world
I used the Mi3 for a few weeks - i like the os and its Android implementation. Its a slick device - the build quality could be slightly better but then again, I could say that about the Samsung phones and the HTC phones. To me it felt like using a really big iPod nano 2nd gen with a big touch screen.

Not all stuff made in China is crap... but the crappy stuff sure is
Not that this is automatically crap of course.. but if they couldn't be bothered to come up with a proper brand name, I have my doubts

3299CNY might sound expensive at first, but they are pretty much selling it at cost. Also, this is a company that's household brand in China. If their Mi TV sells like hot cakes with even higher price tag of 4000CNY+ then they should have no trouble selling the Mi Note. The reason why they are so successful because they have teams of people that can accurately interpret data. If one out of 10 people in China uses Xiaomi, then there is definitely a market for higher spec expensive phones, the data shows.
Define 'crappy'.
Proper brand name? wtf? why should we Chinese cater to the West? You cannot pronounce it? Too bad. Learn Chinese? We have been learning English for the past 40 years in our school systems. Why can't we turn the table this time?
To be honest, Xiaomi doesn't even need to venture into Western Markets. They have more happy clients that are more than eager to bring Xiaomi into their markets, I'm talking about India, SE Asia, Russia, South America, Africa.
BTW, hows your bitcoins portfolio working out for you? Are you still rooting for Umbrella revolution? How did that turn out for you
These places can make the best quality electronics you can imagine. Stuff that makes the 2nd best quality Japanese electronics look like crap. Or they can make cheap crap. Which is what they do, because that's all they need to do.

Id I say Apple made the best quality electronics?
Quickly looking t some reviews it seem like they make a pretty solid phone.
[IMG]The Mi 4 easily ranks as one of the better smartphones this year, but you'd be hard-pressed to get hold of one right now. Expect stocks to be limited when it finally sells outside
China, but the Mi 4 is an Android phone worth trying to get your hands on. [/IMG]

Xiaomi RedMi Mi
stupid name? says who? as if your opinion even matters...
It's good to have thoughts but how is it stupid? I think its perfectly suitable to their company and makes perfect sense.
