Having worked and traveled extensively in China, I couldn't find a single person that had good things to say about Xiaomi, other than its price. Western media seems to be fixated on this company but I've asked so many Chinese nationals what they thought of it, why they do[n't] have it, etc. All of them said that it constantly froze, dropped calls, etc. Almost always, they have a Xiaomi only as a temporary phone before they upgrade to a Samsung, iPhone, or other

Perhaps there is a bias somewhere, but after nearly 3 years of travel and work there I have serious doubts about this company...

I often ask people if they click on Facebook/Google ads, and they've never said yes. That doesn't mean people in general don't click on ads. The same could be said for Xiaomi. Just because the Chinese you've asked don't love it doesn't necessarily mean it's a company to doubt.
