the Phantom 5 has 2 GB RAM/32 GB ROM, so a better comparison would be with the 3 GB RAM/32 GB, $234 variant. then you’d see the advantages the Phantom 5 has over the MI 4. better screen (at least based on ppi), expandable memory, fingerprint scanner & Dolby Surround Digital Sound. it’s really not an open and shut case
From personal experience, I would recommend a Xiaomi phone. They indeed make great flawlessly working bang for bucks handsets..

For those itching to hear price
16GB: $204 and 32GB: $234
Will be launched tomorrow, exclusively in China
With ALL these specs on offer and it’s on offer for $204,any wonder the Phantom 5 is being considered overpriced..

Why would you recommend something that’s only available in China?
Should we start importing phones now???
there are online retailers that will “import” for you, KuliMart for example, and it’s not only available in China
You can always get it delivered to you if you really need one. I’ve got the Redmi Note 2 through resellers. all it will cost is a few dollars more..
