What is Xiaomi known for?
Xiaomi is commonly referred to as the Apple of the East and has quickly risen up to be a global player in the smartphone industry in just five years from its debut. The brand is well known for creating products that are on par with some of the industry’s top competitors such as Apple and Samsung, but only at a fraction of the cost.
The reason that their products remain so affordable is thanks to the company’s longstanding strategy of focusing on direct-to-customer sales. From there, this helps to cut out expenses on distributors, celebrity endorsements and third-party ad agencies.

How to Choose a Xiaomi Phone
Like any smartphone brand, it's still quite challenging to choose which one will suit you best – even if the prices are already low. But there's no need to worry, we'll help you to make sure you get the right Xiaomi phone for you.
Performance
One of the first things that you’ll want to consider no matter what brand is performance. And that is easily gauged by the phone's processor, graphics card or GPU, and its RAM – the higher the numbers, the faster. Xiaomi phones are all well-balanced, but if you need something to run heavy apps or high-spec games, then opting for one of the high-end phones is for you.
Battery Life
Next thing you should think about is battery life. Again, in any phone brand, battery life is crucial as it alters the whole experience. If you're a heavy user and need the phone for work, then opting for a phone with a longer battery life should be your priority.
Budget
Even though Xiaomi phones are relatively cheap, it still boils down to how much you're willing to pay. As long as the phone meets your daily needs, it's never a bad choice to get the cheapest one. But if you have more to spare, opting for a higher-end Xiaomi phone such as the Mi 8 Lite is a better overall option.
Conclusion
Xiaomi phones, although cheap, are reliable and competitive. Just because they have a lower price tag, it doesn't mean they're instantly inferior to phones from well-known brands. In most cases, they're actually equal with regards to performance, only less the price.
