Seems like a crazy price when you compare how much they are charging from their other warehouses. Seems like it's only the White version available at this price (the black version is £152!!)

johan posts the same old crap on every Chinese phone thread. Best ignored.

But you originally said 'all these Chinese phones' and that's a generalisation. :disappointed: Name me a mainstream UK brand Android phone for £97 that comes with any sort of decent camera.

Did you have Xiaomi before? Probably not...
Dropped mine few times on concrete floor, in the street - did not break, works just fine; and OS is better than sammy's I had before.

Bought my Mi4i last summer and can't fault it. Picture quality could be better at times but at this price the phone is great value. Xiaomi are good at keeping up with the updates too :smiley:
Have some heat.

Apologies. I've now added that to my OP. Although I've now made quite a few orders from China/HK and never had a problem. But, yes, there's always a chance so caveat added.

Trouble with all these Chinese phones are the cameras they're all pretty useless especially in low light - and yes we do get samples sent to us so I have seen more than my fair share of them.

Taken from the review linked to in the OP
The Xiaomi Mi 4i comes with a 13 MP rear camera with a dual LED flash, and 5 MP front-facing unit, and the device takes some great photos, especially when considering its price point.
Images appear to be sharp and crisp, and even more so when using Xiaomi’s advanced HDR mode. When it comes to the software, the MIUI camera application hasn’t changed from any other Xiaomi devices, and continues to offer just the right amount of manual control, without getting too overwhelming. There also some very useful additions, like the ability to use the focus ring to adjust exposure, even while in the auto mode.

thats the biggest differentiator really (Nokia was right all along :-( - I have a Galaxy s6 and got it over anything else because of the superb low light camera (way way better than iphone 6S or anything but the LG G4)
you have to factor the cheapie Chinese handsets are not likely to get security/OS updates and have a useless manufactuers warranty as well as generally poor cameras .. its just not worth taking the risk with Android they are so prone to malware and security holes I'd rather stick to LG/Samsung/HTC etc but i wouldnt mid a mid range handset with the s6 camera+microsd and just a HD screen and less of the glass/metal for a lot less money

Did you compare other phones within the same price range? I bet you didn't as all other phones at this price are even worse!

And, as I've said I've used most of the Chinese models and the weak link usually is the camera and the software bugs - not saying it isn't a good deal just giving my opinion for what it's worth.

good to know. I bought a blackview crown over a year ago and they promised updates
and android upgrade in April 2015. Still waiting. Phone is great but the lack of updates
means I would never buy that brand again.
