Xiaomi is clearly aware of these geographically-based requirements. Where the Chinese exports can fail these days is that their handsets don’t (without rooting) get access to Google Play, and therefore to the huge repository of software now considered standard, if not vital, in the US, Europe and most of Asia. The bar is lowered by many flavors of Android being hobbled by the vendor-specific bloatware that many phones ship with- even the vagaries of MIUI aside, powerful hardware and a passing-fair OS makes for a pretty attractive package. The MIUI operating system that runs pre-installed on many shipping Xiaomi smartphones is best described as a skinned Android “plus”, but is largely thought to be half-decent, comparatively. Sure, for some exports, Chinese software might be seen as a limitation, but what the Chinese industry is good at, without doubt, is assimilating and adapting.
