If at all, Oneplus can give some competition to the mighty Apple brand. Rest are all just noise makers and especially, I have no respect for a company like Xiaomi which blatantly copies.
All said and done that this chinese phone which is making news to give a tough competition to Samsung or the I phone, and has an edge over these other two phones, if one makes a comparison in technical features between the three....but sad to say that it is my personal experience that most chinese products, and spares especially the batteries are not available in the local market and getting a replacement for the battery is not the perfect match for most chinese phones......So my dear people who value your money..china is making gadgets to sell, not to maintain them...so if you think on the lines of getting a phone with the latest features and better specifications, than you may need to have, and that one does not care about spending money on new phones time and again, then one can indulge in crazy possession of such phones from China, without considering the after sales maintenance....Xiaomi could be the phone you, and is the right choice to satisfy one's taste for unnecessary specifications, that many of us do not know where and when to use.

Just bought a Xiaomi M4 and is fantastic[bought from china]Now the matter to maintain is with yourself .Drop any phone ten times a month- more service centre must be opened. Apple iphone dropped- then the camera misalignment needs to fixed by experts.The word China makes you think cheap. If you ever visit China ,you can find what s quality and you pay for it. The priceof Xiami in china is 19990/- rupees and in india ranging from Rs 25000 to 60000/- [ebay reference]
