^^ G3 ROM has instilled a new life in my G2. If I have to splash money, I will do on phone with higher specs like iPhone 6 or any 64bit Android which we will start seeing at the end of this year. S801 based phone is worthless if one already has S800 based device.
 
Xiaomi is frequently compared to Apple, but its business model is completely different. Apple makes most of its money from hardware. Xiaomi calls itself an "Internet company," more readily likening itself to Google or Amazon's Kindle Fire line. Xiaomi sells the devices for close to cost and makes money off of the ecosystem—imagine Google's Nexus business strategy as the basis for an entire company. That's why Xiaomi can sell a device with better specs than the Galaxy S5 for less than half the price.

I wonder how they plan to make money in India.

By the end of 2015, we should have over a hundred exclusive service centres in the country."
