Xiaomi’s Mi3 has been really lucky for the company, as this smartphone is single handedly responsible for their rising internationally, selling millions in the foreign market. Carrying ridiculously amount of power for such low price. When I first heard about a device that can outperform flagships at a fourth of their price, it felt too good to be true.
