Xiaomi Mi2 outsold Samsung Galaxy S4 in China. Sold 10Million handsets. Anyone knows where to buy in US?

You can pick the Mi2 up on eBay. The phone is geared for the China market, so you're on your own for support and warranty.

I've used a Xiaomi in China. It was a decent phone, but the build quality felt a little cheap compared to LG and Apple. I'll stick with the Nexus 4 for now. It's cheaper and makes better engineering tradeoffs. Without a larger CCD surface area, the 13Mp camera means worse low light photos. Likewise the 1080p screen is indistinguishable from a 720, but gets worse FPS in games and drains the battery faster.
