And..
From mashable site.
Despite all the technicalities we’ve heard, the most important feature of Xiaomi phones is the price, and the company did not disappoint here. The cheapest, 32GB version with a 3D glass body will cost 1,999 yuan or about $305 (Barra mentioned a $262 figure, but that seems to be the price without VAT). The 64GB version will cost 2,299 yuan ($352), and the ceramic back variant, with 128GB of storage memory and 4GB of RAM, is 2,699 yuan ($413).

4 hundred dollars for it!!!!!

The price war begins.

Ticks all the boxes, except for screen size. 5.5" seems to be the sweet spot. All comes down to personal taste, I guess.

@Cleoriff Here are the full specs:

My next phone will definitely be Chinese. Can't decide between Huawei, Xiaomi, or Lenovo.

God it's fast isn't it? Looks lovely but the smaller screen size would rule it out for me....

Think Galaxy S6 with added phase detection auto focus and a scratch resistant sapphire lens cover
