Not everyone get their hands on Xiaomi smartphones in India because of the flash sales. Xiaomi has already made a good record in India. Apart from FlipKart, one good alternative to buy Mi 4 is Xiaomi store where you can get the smartphone directly shipped from China. You can find the same smartphone ( from direct Chinese market) in the eBay too.
