Xiaomi denies its phones will be available in the U.S. officially

Xiaomi has denied reports that it will finally bring its popular phones to the U.S.
US Mobile had begun selling the Xiaomi Redmi 2, Mi 3, Note 2 and Mi 4, but the phones are not optimized for the U.S. and don't even support LTE for US Mobile (T-Mobile network).

Says the Chinese startup giant: "Recent reports have indicated that Xiaomi products will be available in the US. Xiaomi only offers a small selection of accessories for sale in the US through Mi.com. There are no plans to sell smartphones through any authorised distributors in the US. US Mobile is not authorised to sell Xiaomi products in the US."

Despite this lack of support from Xiaomi, US Mobile will still sell the devices and provide full services and support for the phones.

If they don't deal in LTE then why the fu*k would anyone buy them and more importantly, WTF would US Mobile sell them............EVER???


US Mobile is a scam for selling a phone that flat-out DOESN"T WORK on American LTE.

Did not know this about regarding their incompatibility with the US cellular network.
