I’m pretty sure you have heard of Xiaomi. If not, Xiaomi is one of Chinas biggest electronics company. They started the buzz in the tech community after they released their flagship smartphone and have been claimed the fastest smartphone in the world by a benchmark app Antutu, Quadrant and Geekbench. Having a score of 33,000+ is already great, but with the price of just $300,$370 (16gb,64gb) and a colorful choice makes it much harder to resist.
