Smartphone users from all over the world are talking about China's entrance into the global market. Xiaomi Tech released its latest smartphone model, the Mi4 to challenge the Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy series. Critics and consumers have been showing positive reactions not only to the phone itself, but also to the outstandingly low price.

The Mi4 is a model that uses the Android operating system. Many critics expressed even in the past that most Android smartphones all have similar levels of sophistication and convenience for users. The Mi4 is believed to be almost equal to Samsung's latest model, the Galaxy S5. In other words, Xiaomi's latest product does not have any magical new capabilities that made consumers so interested in buying one.

What makes the Mi4 really competitive in the global community is its price. The 64GB Mi4 is sold for only 349 dollars, roughly half the price of the Samsung Galaxy S5. However, the low price does not mean that the Mi4 should be underestimated in terms of its capabilities.

This smartphone has already gained access into the Google Play Store and all the basic applications that a user can find in any other Android smartphone and all other functions could be downloaded from the Google Play Store. The operation system, according to users, seems to run smoothly and the overall weight of the phone is light and the slightly curved shape allowed the holder a very soft touch, slightly similar to the design of LG's G3 model.

Many market critics estimate that Apple and Samsung will probably remain as the most powerful shareholders in the global smartphone market. However, after experiencing the products of Xiaomi Tech, the same experts asserted that this Chinese corporation will definitely be able to rival the two titans. Chinese smartphones have already surpassed the products of most Taiwanese companies.

The Mi4 and the new "one plus one" deal is still in its early stages of its sales and the product is not as well-known as the iPhone or the Galaxy. However, Xiaomi Tech has grown 4 times its original size and critics believe that if the company can solve some current problems such as promotion and AS, the Mi4 will be a considerable threat to both Apple and Samsung.
