Why are Xiaomi phones so hard to come by? I want to buy a Xiaomi phone, but all the internet retailers I have found so far are shady, and there are no retailers that sell Xiaomi where I live (Denmark).

And believe me, I tried buying Redmi Note 4X from Geekbuying, but they processed my order for a week only to give me bullshit about it being out of stock and wanting me to switch to a different order.

Have you had any good experiences with chinese retailers? Maybe someone you can recommend? Or am I too pent up with getting a Xiaomi phone in the first place? The specs and the price range combo seems very attractive to me.

Don't ever buy chinkshit

What do you recommend I get then? Iphone 7plus? Galaxy s8? I'm not one to afford things like that, and that's not what I'm looking for in the first place. I just want a decent mid-range phone at a cheap phone. I don't want to pass up on Helio X20 + 4GB ram

I guess it would hurt you to check catalog and see if there is maybe dedicated general thread for chinkshit?
Back to plebbit.

> Why are Xiaomi phones so hard to come by?
They are not, you can order them in a hundred places

> and there are no retailers that sell Xiaomi where I live (Denmark).
No shit. Xiaomi only sells officially through very few outlets TO a few places in Asia.

Everyone else is a reseller. Yes, if we bought a Xiaomi, we bought on import from them.

> Have you had any good experiences with chinese retailers?
Yes, hundreds of transactions.

They fuck up at a not much different rate from any other shop that doesn't necessarily have stock for everything but relies on logistics also provided by their suppliers.

/g/'s /csg/ must have cumulatively amassed tens of thousands of transactions, most good, a few bad. Shit happens.

Buy from any store or ali and just hope for the best.

You can get an Sony XA1.
I haven't tried it but build quality and quality assurance from sony is usually decent.

I own a Xiaomi Mi4 since launch more or less. Let's talk about that;

It was very cheap for the specs. I bought it directly from china (ex-gf is Chinese so it's easy)
>16GB model. Literally impossible to find a 4G 64GB model at the time
But it supports like, every fucking band ever (china telecom version)
>But MIUI has random UI lag
Camera is good. Selfie camera is great (no homo)
>The battery degraded quickly. Can't hold a candle to my recently stolen iPhone SE.
>No SD card

If the storage were significantly more the pros would have outweighed to cons. As it stands I'm constantly juggling storage space just to have a few apps installed and be able to take pictures. God forbid I want to put media on there for gym/plane trips.

I wanted to get the Mi6 until I saw the lack of headphone jack. Also why the fuck is gear best selling it for like $700? I can get it from china for $360 directly from Xiaomi.

Buy form honorbuy.com, they ship form Spain if you choose EU shipping. I've bought several items from since they were called xiaomishop.com

They're kikes.

>>60225916
Go to China
>>
>>60225916
They only have 2 (sort of) global version models.
The rest are china only, unless you do not care about data.

I'm using a redmi note 4 right now. It's better than most flagshit phones besides the shoddy camera. 4100mAh battery lets me use this thing for hours

Aliexpress my friend.

Sent from my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro using Tapatalk

I bought one from Everything, it arrived fast and w/o problems. Some friends bought their ones from aliexpress, that one's also reliable.

I bought my Redmi 4 Prime off of AliExpress and had it shipped via DHL to Norway. It arrived within a week.
