Check your CPU. I ordered mine from the Qoo10 store too. Its not using Mediatek MT6589T chipset!
Also check your phone's IMEI number against the one on the box. Mine was different!

I went down yesterday to Sim Lim and inform them about it. They were very surprised! They did a check on the CPU of another set, noticed the discrepancy too and refunded me my money back. And today, when I checked the Qoo10 for their Xiomi ad, it seems they have stopped selling it. My guess is they ordered fake ones unknowingly.

There's a lot of fake Xiaomi for a long while it's just that we haven't been aware. Mainly it's due to Xiaomi being out of the radar of most Singaporeans.

I've been told it's increasing difficult to get those 1-for-1 (non branded) phones in China. Consumers there are getting more sophisticated are going for the value for money but yet quality brands.

Tab and hold bottom left button to bring up multitask bar. Then tab the big round button below the open apps to close all.
