Xioami (pronounced shao-me) forayed into the Indian smartphone market on 15th of July 2014 and Asus also announced a new range of phones dubbed the 'zen phone'. Whats common between these two companies is that both of them have launched phones with competitive price tags.

The Xioami Mi3, priced at Rs. 13,999 brings in a full HD 1080p display and a snapdragon 800 SOC unheard in this price segment which brings it along the likes of htc one m8 (which is more than triple the cost of Mi3). In-case you are wondering how does Xioami achieve this price point do have a look of my earlier post about the entry of Xioami in India . The specifications of this phone clearly trounces the Moto G in almost every respect.I would have loved stock android on this beast but users who don't want to flash custom roms on their devices would have to settle with MIUI.
Just to make it clear the Mi3 also trounces Motorola's flagship device the Moto X in almost every respect. I should mention that the Moto X has some'unique' features such as the always listening google now and active notifications, thanks to the amoled display.
"Micromax,Lava,Xolo should be worried. A lot."
Meanwhile Asus has also taken the route of competitively pricing their devices, and it showed with Asus selling a staggering 40,000 units of Zen Phones in just 4 days. Asus has done its homework and already got an A+. Both Xioami and Asus have pushed competition a notch higher with already slim profit Indian phone manufacturers should be worried because they don't have the brand image of Asus or the highly competitive pricing of Xioami. Micromax must be hoping that android one comes to it rescue. In just a span of 3 days Micromax's answer to the Moto E, the Micromax Unite 2 has been shruged off with the likes of Xioami's Redmi 1S and Asus Zenphone. Oh i forgot even the Moto E!
Competition is reaching new heights, I am interested in the response from the likes of Micromax,Lava.
