If i remmeber, a few folks were talking about having/getting Xiaomi in here?

 

Thought this might be of interest :)

 

 

Is using a Xiaomi smartphone a security risk? The Indian Air Force (IAF) seems to think so.

In a circular apparently distributed by the IAF to its personnel and their families, it advises against using handsets made by the Chinese company, according to a recent report. Xiaomi is no stranger to allegations of spying on its users - in July, a security firm had reported that Xiaomi phones were pre-loaded with software to spy on you.

Maybe India should make its own phone, then again the fookers can't make a tank or plane or anything else really worthwhile

I believe they do. I'm sure some components come from China though.

See the Android One project.

Launched in mid-September, the three Android One phones announced – produced by local manufacturers Micromax, Spice, and Karbonn...

Anyone else ever had problems with Samsung S3 a la the following:

 

On an app, screen starts to flicker, signal drops, screen freezes, restarts itself.

 

If so, what did you do and did the problem get fixed?

 

I can early upgrade from 18th Dec so hoping it survives til then...

Nokia used to make plenty of their phones in India

I think you get the point, Nokia is Swedish, but there is no indian home made design.

The reason I posted it, is because I get really fooked off by my ''indian" friends about how fooking fab they are and are so first world and great. The only great thing India has exported is a fooking curry, and Bhangra and even that in this modern age is British

Nokia is Finnish. There are 13 Indian smartphone manufacturers listed on Wikipedia but most make for the home market, Xolo makes some good products.
