Xiaomi tend to exaggerate more, they dont have the capacity on hand. Don't talk about colors yet during the sale (only white? wtf), until now the mi5 pro is nowhere near to sell. The black mi5 is really really limited stock, it's out of stock under 30seconds  shakehead.gif This caused the scalpers to mushroom up like nobody business. Xiaomi should do open sale, and give us an ETA when our order will complete. At least this will reduce scalpers.

How i wish xiaomi can be like samsung/sony, their worldwide launch is super quick, almost within a month from announcement date. Not sure what's stopping xiaomi from selling more.

Capacity. Xiaomi is practising JIT with super low margin.

This leave no room for errors but I believe staggered delivery date can also work.

The price we pay for a xiaomi is the reason why they dont have enough supply. They skimp on marketing, warehousing and production thats why we get those super low prices.
Actually people cant afford Samsung or Sony is why ppl get a xiaomi, i mean if i could afford the Z5 now i would rather get it then Mi5.
A good example, Mi3 specs SD800 & 2gb ram exactly same as S4 and Nexus 5. From what i see, people with Mi3 and S4 either changed phone or stuck with a laggy phone. Im still using Nexus 5 Android 6.01 and it still runs laps around newer phones and still performs like a new phone. It shows just how heavy Miui and Touchwiz is.

I think many people who can afford RM1. 5k for a xiaomi flagship can afford to top up another 1k for a Samsung or Sony if they really want to but many don't think it's worth it to pay so much.

Xiaomi has saved a lot on marketing cost but they cannot keep this flash sales SH1T going on for too long.

There are more and more options, some not as good though like Huawei or even the Samsung A series but at least you can get it...

Well i rather that camera bump with amazing pictures than Mi5 flushed camera but so-so pictures.

Second that anytime.

Most importantly is easy availability.

There is no such thing as exclusive club of ppl being able to buy a HP.

OnePlus learnt that lesson well.

The Xiaomi Mi5 64GB black already 580USD, will you buy it?
*
Nope.

Xiaomi is supposed to be value for money

For that price, you up and get established brands

Kia and hyundai cannot be same price as Toyota or Honda right

I don't think Mi5 Pro will ever land here due to extremely scarce.
The best is to get the 3GB RAM 64GB version.

Xiaomi really should not sell something unless they can produce sufficient quantities.

This kills customers goodwill in long run and only benefit scalper

What's the use? You only get 3gb ram with 32gb model.
3gb ram is so 2015 and probably not smooth enough compare to 4gb Mi5 Pro model.

I think I will aim for HTC M10 better. At least more future proof.

Wait for OnePlus 3

Yes, but how many months after announced then only they get official distributor? It's 4 freaking months after the silly invite system.

Patience you must have for these companies.

Waiting 4 mths is okay if you want some value for money products.

Early adopters always get screwed in MY

Wish these companies give more respect to MY consumers, the population here might be smaler but we are willing to pay and support good product

Oneplus surely 5.5" thats the only reason I consider Mi5 as no other flagship 5" phones.

I hope OP3 will be reasonably priced and have sufficient stocks.

Then many people may switch to OP3 instead.
