Xiaomi Mi3 sales temporarily discontinued in India

Xiaomi, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer, took the Indian market by storm when it introduced the Mi3 here at an astonishingly low price point. The highly specced handset has become a much sought after device and was being sold exclusively through Flipkart via a unique flash sale model. However, it looks like the run might be over and Xiaomi might have discontinued the Mi3 for the Indian market.  Manu Jain, Head at Xiaomi India had this to say, "Over next few weeks, we will focus on Redmi 1S, and Mi 3 wont be available. We will take the final call after few weeks, once we have more visibility / data points."  Xiaomi intends to focus on the newly launched Redmi 1S which is also a very good offering at a compelling price point of Rs. 5,999. Combining a Snapdragon 400 processor and quality construction, the phone competes with the likes of the Moto G. While most certainly a great handset in its own right, it doesn't quite replace the Mi3. What prompted the company to suspend sales remains a mystery given how popular it has proven to be. Perhaps the supply constraints and expansion into additional markets might be at play. All said and ...

It hasn't been long since Xiaomi announced the affordable Redmi 1S for India, but the fast rising Chinese company has announced the device for another market -- Indonesia. Xiaomi took the aggressive route when it came to pricing in India, and announced it for only 5,999 INR or roughly $99. However, Indonesians will have to pay IDR 1.5 million or roughly $128 to be able to take home the Redmi 1S. Although it isn't India-cheap, the $128 equivalent price tag is a good $8 cheaper than the Redmi 1S's price for Singapore.

The first flash sale is pegged to start at 11am on September 4, but will only last an hour. Xiaomi has been able to win a lot of fans in India with its highly competitive pricing. In fact, I feel that Xiaomi is actually selling its devices at a loss in India in order to build a strong goodwill for its name. Considering it isn't selling too many devices, that's really a possibility. Do you think the Xiaomi phenomenon could ...

Also, the wearable will boast of HomeKit features to help it work together with connected home devices.

The smartwatch market is getting heated up with new entries like Asus and existing ones with Android Wear OS. via:Re/Code

Design and build The Mi Power banks have anodized aluminum shell that gives them a premium look and a solid build quality that you don't expect in power banks in this price range. These have curved corners and have Mi branding on the front. It is designed by Texas Instruments and the cell is manufactured by LG or Samsung. India gets only the silver-colored variant, but in some countries like China it comes in different colors. These feel solid in hand and doesn't get scratched, even though it has smooth aluminium finish on the outside. Since it is in silver color, dust and stains are clearly visible. But these are water and corrosion resistant. The smaller 5200mAh power bank is compact and can fit in your jean pocket easily since it ...

Ranging from between Rs. 5,999 to Rs. 15,999, the ET701, XT811 and XT911 tablets are a marked improvement over their first effort. We spent some time with the tablets to find out if they are a compelling purchase for first time tablet owners. Here's what we think about them.  Digiflip Pro ET701 The entry level model or the most portable one as you might look at it, the Digiflip Pro ET701 packs a 1.2Ghz Z2520 Dual Core processor. Also under the hood is 1GB RAM and 8GB of storage. Not exactly high end but we found performance to be satisfactory. The tablet zips through the interface and there's nary a lag anywhere. What we didn't like too much was the quality of plastics used. The ET701 doesn't cast any illusions of being a premium device with glossy,fingerprint prone plastics all around. There's a 2MP camera over at the back while a VGA camera serves as the front facing unit. The IPS panel has a resolution of 1024x600 which is definitely on the lower end of the spectrum but the quality of ...
