    Junk or no junk, people all over the world are buying it.
    Xiaomi is 4th in europe as well. You conveniently forgot to mention this in your fairytale la la land story about the Nokia. Must be painful I guess.
    Besides, Aren't you the same guy who tries very hard everywhere to prove that Nokia and HMD are one and the same.
    So why contradict yourselves here?
    Still waiting for your answer as to why Indians in Europe would buy Xiaomi even though its cheaper to buy it in India itself.

      Don't start about warranty since according to you they are all on Visa's which will have some expiry date anyways so they can get the device claim anyways...

        Besides why would every indian in europe on visa just flock at xiaomi store to buy phones? can't they just buy it for cheaper in India when they return?
        At least stop contradicting yourself.....

          Androidloveralways, 27 May 2018The same place where you are getting your info that only Indians in Europe buy Xiaomi phones. I don't I just presume cause Xiaomi is No 1 in India and its cheap.

          So I just add 2 and 2 and say its only or mostly south east Asians and Central Asians everywhere that buy Xiaomi.

          Because others mostly prefer Apple and Samsung and Now Nokia and Huawei anyways according to you (Canalys) Nokia (HMD) are 5th in Europe in sales , So they are doing pretty well I must say for a company that's hardly 2 years old.

          In terms of a cheap junk company like Xiaomi that could not even enter all of Europe till now let alone USA in its 8 years of existence in contrast Nokia has already full fledged sales networks both in USA and Europe and Mind you I am talking about HMD and Only HMD here.

                And now you say they are related to Nokia Corp , don't make a joke of yourself by changing your statements based on the need of the hour like a chameleon.

                If you want to make a point try to stick to what you want and whom you want to vouch for.

Only Mr Merwyn is right.They are just launching in Europe and you already conclude that they are in 4th position , And also I am not sure which part of this article made you conclude that they stand 4th in Europe.

                                      LMAO

                                      That article by canalys doesn't even make sense cause they have included Russia in it.

                                      And Russia is a Huge market for Xiaomi they are neighbours by the way , But it's not a part of the European union.

                                      Give this clone company some breathing space and let's see how well this junk officially sells in Europe we will only know for sure by 2019.

                                      So get off your high horse and back to school.
