Xiaomi has been making waves lately with some of its very Apple-like smartphone offerings. Apple has even accused the company of ripping off its designs but Xiaomi insists that they haven’t stolen anything whatsoever. For now Xiaomi isn’t sold directly in the American market because Apple would surely bring lawsuits against them for infringement. But luckily we live in the age of the Internet which means you can snag a Xiaomi Mi4 from GearBest at a decent price: $285.99 plus free shipping.

Under the hood you have the Snapdragon 801 2.5GHz processor with Adreno 330 GPU and 3GB of RAM for fast performance and low power draw. With 3GB of RAM you should zero issues loading games, videos or any sort of visual entertainment. The operating system is MIUI 6, of course, but you can root and put a custom ROM on this phone for prime customization (you do risk voiding warranties). MIUI isn’t all that bad in actuality, it’s similar to the iPhone interface but highly customizable with a community all its own where you can find loads of help.

The Mi4 also supports the Google Play Store as well as the MIUI store where you can get thousands of your favorite apps. Xiaomi is an up and coming smartphone and accessory maker.

They’ve already started to offer their accessories here in the US but for now the best place to get a Xiaomi phone as at GearBest.
