    Ajubuster, 18 Aug 2018Xiaomi after sale service sucks. You can get another phone in the price they quote for the rep... more''If Mi is offering Snapdragon 660 4gb 64gb Dual rear cam 16+5mp and Selfie 16mp at price of 18k and if the same config is done by Samsung at 25k which is rear (no pun intended) but if that happens no doubt ppl will go with with Samsung..''

    you know clearly that Samsung will never ever do that.. if they do that companies like MI will be wiped out.
    after sales is a big issue but not for me as i know some unofficial teams which can repair xiaomi phones at half price ..

You can get another phone in the price they quote for the repair or replacement of the defect part. The only reason the Mid range is dominated by Mi is because people in India opt for cheaper products. I'm not saying they have bad products but not up to the standard what Samsung does. The only reason Sammy is behind is bad pricing. People love the brand name "Samsung" and the trust is maintained.

      If Mi is offering Snapdragon 660 4gb 64gb Dual rear cam 16+5mp and Selfie 16mp at price of 18k and if the same config is done by Samsung at 25k which is rear (no pun intended) but if that happens no doubt ppl will go with Samsung.

        1. Samsung's midrange phones are costlier than Xiaomi.
        2. Xiaomi offer more features than Samsung.
        2. MIUI is more customisable and user friendly than TW or SE.
        4. In paper Xiaomi's battery are bigger.
        5. Various MIUI roms available.

                    Happened faster than I thought. I've been saying this all along. Samsung, stop doing your dumb Apple ads and advertising for them, and concentrate on someone who is actually out to get you.

                          The only reason Samsung don't maintain top spot is because of bad pricing strategy. No Auto brightness sensor which basic 8k phone also offers misses out on phone which are almost 22k which is bad. I'm Samsung user and want to see some good phone to be out in the market to see some competition. Exynos 7870 is almost 2 years old now and still been used. Snapdragron 450 cost 20k which should fit in 12k category. Samsung please choose latest processor of Exynos or produce some or either opt for Snapdragon latest one. The internal which been used like 64gb storage and 4gb Ram is super cool. Amoled is no doubt the best display but please put the basic sensors and quote competitive pricing and you will see yourself on #1 again. Peace!!!

                              If they release the mi max 3 now they could keep that lead for the next quarter. If they haven't already.
