Even though the company was teased US by passing around a gorgeous, white, nearly bezel-less version of a Chinese phone.
The gleaming white phone with its razor-thin bezel and unique call technology is just the kind of thing you'd want to put in your pocket and try right away.
But even though Xiaomi announced this version of the Mi Mix phone at the giant CES 2017 tech show in Las Vegas, it's just one more example of a promising Xioami product that you might not be able to get your hands on for quite some time.
Xiaomi is one of the many Chinese phone makers set on winning customers in the fiercely demanding US market, alongside the likes of Huawei, ZTE and relative newcomer OnePlus. But while those companies are already selling their unlocked devices, Xiaomi has yet to directly compete. It won't be easy, either, not in a market where Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxys S and J series are dominant.
There's also some question about Xiaomi's reported slipping hold in China, and its ability to make enough of its traditionally good as well as cheap phones for US buyers. New entrants also have to use technology that works with the country's wireless networks and regulations and striking a deal with patent-holders of internal tech or similar designs can be time consuming and would cost alot.
