I had the first Redmi lahnced in indian market and there after I never went for it again. Even they are cheaper Herr but now I understand the importsnce if branding. Samsung handset are much better in comparison to these Chinese make.....I had for 6 years and now replace with another Samsung model. The most reliable.
As in ehn... the phone serves me well, only small glitches here and there. I'm getting ready for a change soon as well.
