Xiaomi phones are very cheap, and for its price, well made. At first I thought I had to use the Google play store but after not being able to install it because of some issues with MIUI6, I instead selected Amazon's Appstore.<p>It turns out that Amazon's Appstore was all the replacement I needed to get most of the apps I commonly use and if I really needed that one app not in Amazon, I can always find the APK for it provided it doesn't use Google Play Store's API.<p>I suppose there's a great opportunity ahead for Amazon to partner with Xiaomi should the latter try to enter the market in North America. Xiaomi phones will be stronger devices for Amazon's struggle for relevance than their kindles and fire phones.
