Place to Buy Xiaomi Mi 2 with Cheapest Price
The Xiaomi Mi 2 aka Xiaomi Phone 2 is definitely one of the top China phones that wow-ed the world. Because of its awesome and overwhelming specs, it is being anticipated by many smartphone enthusiasts, and include me on the list.

Xiaomi Mi 2 / Xiaomi M2 Quad Core
In case you still haven’t heard about this quad-core phone, that is said to be the first commercial device sporting the quad-core Krait processor; here’s a shortlist of the Xiaomi Mi 2 highlights:
- 1.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor
- 4.3 inch multi-touch capacitive touchscreen, Sharp ASV TFT screen, 720p display
- 2GB DDR3 RAM
- 8MP CMOS camera, auto focus, LED flashlight, 2MP front camera
- High capacity Li-ion battery, 2000mAh (3000mAh upgrade available)
For more info, feel free to read my Xiaomi Mi 2 review on its specs, and everything related.
So now, the question that is being asked by many of us is:
Where to buy this Xiaomi Mi 2 phone, on cheapest price?
Many online shops has been listing this Xiaomi Phone 2 already, even if they do not have the phone in stock yet. It then becomes a pre-order basis as this phone is expected (and hopefully) to arrive on late September-October, or just before the year ends (unless Xiaomi keeps up on its announcement).
I know, this phone was announced to have an SRP of just $313 (1990yuan). Still, take note that the price might change once it gets officially released on stock for market. So we shall stay on our foot regarding the pricing.
Here’s a reason why I do not recommend getting this phone very early now:
Price might subject to change and you might be shedding more money if you get it via a pre-order. The price of the Xiaomi Mi 2 might go lower than expected.
But another thought just messes up with the decision of whether buying this phone earlier or not. Here’s why I advice you to get it up-front, with respect to its official release:
You will be one of the first to have the awesome phone. Then the stock might easily get shorted, and once this happens; in respect to the demand, price might get on a long way higher. That sucks.
So let’s get back to the thought on getting this one on preorder. What surprised me on seeing this phone on some Chinese online store listings is, it was freakingly overpriced!
List of sites selling Xiaomi Mi 2 on pre-orders:
Let me show you some, I bet you are familiar with some of these sites.
android-sale

xiaomi mi 2 on android-sale
$399.99 on android-sale. I never had an experience with them, the first time I heard of them being mentioned on other tech related blogs is: I honestly thought that they have low pricing on such goods as they are used as pricing reference for some upcoming devices. Seeing this, is uh, its up for you to decide.
etotalk

xiaomi mi 2 on etotalk
$399 on etotalk. What I noticed on them is, when the phone isn’t on stock yet, they put $999 as pricing on their listing. But a reply on a visitor’s comment let us confirm that they will sell the Xiaomi Mi 2 phone on $399 price tag.
ali-express/alibaba

xiaomi mi 2 on ali express
$430 on ali express. Well, obviously seems overpriced but yet they say that it is free shipping via DHL. Somehow explains that fact, but still it is really priced high. Another misconception on my end, as I thought that alibaba is a better place to get such kind of goods at relatively lower budget pricing.
merimobiles

xiaomi mi 2 on merimobiles
$499 on merimobiles. lol wtf? Are they selling an iPad here? lol. What I know with this is, its not yet free shipping so if you are planning to get it (unless you really are some rich douchebag) from them via DHL, you need to add some few more bucks for the shipping fee. I definitely know that they aren’t the place to go when you are really on tight budget. But I know that they are legit, based on my personal experience in the past.
fastcardtech

xiaomi mi 2 on fastcardtech
$369 on Fastcardtech. The lowest I could ever find. Sweet deal! Obviously, it is my winner and the sole answer on the said question. Not bad at $369, for a trusted Chinese company in this business. If you really got the itch to have this phone on your hand, then Fastcardtech is your best shot. Its an honest and dear advice. Click here to go on their official Xiaomi M2 listing page.
I do not have a long list of Chinese stores that do exists online, but even most of the shops I just heard and known aren’t listing this Xiaomi Phone 2 yet. I just tried to check out those stores that I can remember. If you want to add some, let us know so we can as well check out their Xiaomi Mi 2 listing sale.
To sum it up, this is why I really recommend Fastcardtech. Of all the online stores I know, they are the one with lowest pricing on such kinds of goods. Added the fact that I trust them and never disappointed me with their quality of goods and service, I strongly recommend Fastcardtech in case you are planning to buy the Xiaomi Mi-2 quad core phone as well.




I’m saving bucks for this
there specs is terrible they post 1820mAh, something wrong
it is still yet to confirm once they got the actual unit, and they got the chance to check it.
nice
I have found the Mi-2 on this shop too :
365gate.com/product-471.html#detailTAB
And the Mi-1 on this one (so I expect they will have the Mi-2 later) :
dealextreme.com/p/pre-order-xiaomi-m1-miui-m1-4-0-capacitive-1-5ghz-dual-core-android-2-3-3g-smartphone-w-gps-105176?item=2
And where can I found the 3000mAh battery ?
it was just said from news that Xiaomi will also out 3000mAh battery for this Mi 2 phone. just wait for the phone to be in stock.
Check hotmid.com, they have good price for m1 and m1s
chinaecarts.com sell xiaomi mi2 at 315$ but i don’t know they are reliable or not?
please review them…
I got feedback from other friends overseas and forums that chinaecarts isnt legit. that’s what I know. I will update you for my futher investigation, thanks for suggesting pal.
Hi,
looks like http://www.fastcardtech.com/goods.php?id=7502 have mi2 already in stock. How the hell is that possible on a legit site (as you said) when on offical mi2 page is still no chance of pre-order now? Looks like fastcardtech isnt much reliable site either..
it is just their desire to mark it as on stock on their site, but if you will read their posting they are saying that it isnt on stock but is available for pre-orders. as far as I know that their e-commerce web-site script wont allow orders if an item isnt listed as on stock. this way, they can accept pre orders. by the way, they are legit bro, trust me.
Seems like this guy is someone from this site who has pledged that he will make the site grow in wonders. People out there do not be fooled..
u can see the way he writes about a diff site.
I got feedback from other friends overseas and forums that chinaecarts isnt legit. that’s what I know. I will update you for my futher investigation, thanks for suggesting pal.
it is just their desire to mark it as on stock on their site,
lol.. no legitmate site will ever do that if some item is out of stock. Foe rxample see flipkart u will know what a legtimate site is.
What do you guys out there hay to say to my investigations..plzz reply
is there any way to say that phrase my friend? just saying what I know from my other friends that are online shoppers as well with regards to chinaeacarts, based on their own experiences and observation. sorry if it might sounded ruder for you, didnt really mean that.
on the other note, as what I had said, they mark it in stock as maybe thats the only way that the item can be preordered through their system.
thanks for your commentaries though, i just hope this clears you up. have a good day
PS. consider buying a Xiaomi M2 from chinaeacarts if you think theyre legit.
Hi im sorry for spamming and if its possible please assing this short text to my previous post:
The last one you post(fastcardtech) is maybe just a copy of Mi 2 cause its name is X2 and brand name looks also messed up ( XiaoMi)…
they are just always like that as they are chinese, you can always see a couple of mistyped and mispelled stuff over their site, but since they arent yet shipping out this unit, we cant say that they are selling fake versions of the Mi-2 as they are also as well waiting for the official Mi-2 launch.
Man i hope ur right, but still there are many “little” misstypings as wrong android version, wrong battery capacity and so on… Maybe theyre legit since theyre have only 50 booking tickets, but I want to be 100% sure beforec i send money to some chinese man
they are legit bro, if you did have any problems, you can reach me and we’ll do whatever necessary action we have to.
Best thing you can do is to persuade them to accept paypal payments to 450% because its the best way how to pay for an item, also its a good sign of thrustworthy seller
But im afraid of thats impossible
you are right about the ease of paying online goods with Paypal, but they do accept paypal payments only from some countries they trust for the long run and never had an experience of getting scammed for big time, such as western countries. that’s what I know.
Not seeing the MI-2 on fastcardtech
they list it in the name of X2, same specs and isnt on stuck yet so Im pretty much sure that it is it.
what about realpricesfromchina.com? they have it in the lower price i could find
can’t recommend. Haven’t tried buying from them and theyre not that popular, I think as my friends havent heard of the site.
Hello, thanks for posting this article,
Im adel kassouri, an algerian living in China since 3 years, resident in France, speaking 5 languages and holding a computer degre from the 90″s, manager of 2 companies that can be verified easy on the net, one in France, one in hk, (see about us page).
No one heard of our website because it is officialy open since 13 august 2012, if you see the newsletter history, and follow all our social links, you will see that the project was in preparation since feb 2012,
Of course, im not saying buy from me, trust me or any thing like that, im here just to give some info about us.
On our blog we posted pics of the xiaomi 1s and the orders sent to our first client in spain, he got the phone 10 days after xiaomi manufacturer it, we could get it few days later after we ordered(we were lucky), second from serbia, third from greece, we are waiting for them to send us pics and maybe videos to do real marketing.
If you search my name on the net you will see that i exist since years, , kassouri.com (registration date? check it) is my family namemy pics, my family, what ever is posted on the net, i do not think that i can fake my niece dancing in my brother’s house in algeria lol
kydma.com is the website of our french company, servicesinchina.com (reworking it since a week) is the hk one..
discovershenzhen.com is a nsocial etwork we built for shenzhen city, where i live, i used and continue to do it web services and now swe are openning our ecommerce one after another.
Paypal business verified in hong kong, under the same name of our company, services in china co ltd (that is why some already trusted us).
Those who know how to check identities on the net will confim what i say.
Send us your friend to visit us.
call us, skype us, ask any questions you want.
In china the basic salary is 5 or 6 dollars, so 10 dollars for chinese products who are few meters for us is a fair price (note xiaomi is in beijing, not near us) all other brands are here.
We want money yes, but 150 ot 200 even 300USD is too much to ask i think.
Our goal is to be know, trusted and get the biggest number of clients than our competition, we are still young but more than a 140 clients are right now cheking us, 23 already trusted us.
Best regards and i hope its not much and please mod, post this comment and if you want, edit it, and take of what you think is spammy.
Adel
It isn’t spammy. thank you for your introduction.
But that site looks much better than fastcardtech… They have all informations right, but youre still right that theyre new on market so its really hard to know if theyre trustworthy or no. :-/
yes it does, well, give me some time and I am gonna check and test it out. If all things did went well, I will as well promote their goods and suggest everyone to get from them as they have the cheapest pricing.
Yea i´d like to trust them and buy Mi-2 from them, but still there are no real proves how to ensure i wont lose my money in some bad-made transaction. I know that is not fault of their company since theyre new, but 320USD is still large amount of money for me as a student… Guess it will be a good idea to make some special advertising moves like to send mobile phones to a few persons before payment to prove theyre not frauds. But on the other side i know its impossible due to a possibility that the clients wont pay for the phones after… Sooo after that long article theres still no good solution
crap
well, did you already paid them? I also asked them something about that to prove themselves but I still didnt got a response with that kind of offer I made to them. Not sure if they just didnt received the mail or they just ignored it and not game for a deal like that. oh well.
I didnt cause im not willing to pay that much to someone whos absolutely new on market and about who i dont know hes reliable…
In case of “doubtful” company’s, you can use the “payment after arrival” using Paypal in combination with a verified bank account. It gives you 14 days time for the goods to be delivered, and even after, you can reclaim for a period of time. Haven’t tried it yet, but seems to give a little security..
If theres that option on paypal, then its good but im afraid of its not good in that case, because you will order it, but its just preorder so even the seller dont know when he will recieve that item
Bought 3 phones from them. Do not recommend them as they’ll be busy sending phones to you so I will have to wait D: just kidding, service and communication is great, all 3 phones were delivered, warranty actually works, sent a phone back and it was replaced. I’m 305% happy with them – got more than expected!
I was wondering, does the phone ship with all the available backplate covers?
we still cannot confirm bro.
Thanks Ian, just learned that colored backplates will be accessories and available in october (scource; http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=Ug8mmGYe4nw). I am going to pre-order today!
Hi, the phone will be black front, white back, the other colors are available to by as back exchange protection, means you take of the original white cover and put the new color you got.
regards
thanks for the heads-up!
Hi,
Thanks for all info you give. I will give a try to RealPricesFromChina for Mi-2. Hopefully everything will be ok. Their price seems to be very competitive. Can’t wait to receive it in France. Will keep you updated about it.
Cheers,
Hi Rag’
I guess the mi-2 is still on the long wait. as far as I know, but thank you for trying out that site. Keep us in touch.
RealPricesFromChina /: Hi ! do you think we can have the xiaomi in October ?
Hello everyone, I’m looking too the Xiaomi mi2,
I came across this site hootablet.com, where they sell the phone.
I report the emails written by me and their answers
would prejudice any questions for Xiaomi mi2.
1) is the original?
2) when it is expected its distribution?
3) you can have a specific color?
4) you can choose a different delivery, paying the most?
5) only sell the phone or accessories’
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your interesting on our site!
This XiaoMi MI2 is original!
It is in stock now,you can shop it on us,but not available for big orders,you can buy less than 10pcs! For we only get some samples from the factory!
Only the black and white color is available now! You can ask a color back cover when you buy it!
Normally we send packages by Cnpost or Hkpost,but you can ask to have the DHL,you need to contact us and pay additionally!
We only sell the phone now!
Regards!
Hootablet.com
hi,
as I understand it the Xiaomi MI2 is already available? I was aware that it
would be released in October. So this is a sale or a pre-order?
why the price so low, the official price is 1999 CNY about $ 317.
I’d like to get some answers.
P.S. for the transport DHL and its cost, how should I do? since I do not
leave the option sugl’oggetti free shipping.
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your interesting on our site!
The XiaoMi MI2 is really in stock on our site now!
You are right that the XiaoMi MI2 will be in big productions in October,but we already get some samples from the factory,so we start to sell it on our site!
the Retail price for the XiaoMi MI2 in China is $317,but as a big wholesale agency,we have better wholesale price.We are not only a onlineshop,but we also have our shop in the Local.
Surely that we can send by DHL,but you need to pay another $45 additionally,normally we send packages by HKpost or CNpost with tracking.
And also we accpet payment by paypal,this is the best warranty for buyers!
Imagine my surprise when they told me that was available, and the attractive price.
I have doubts before, someone had to do with them?
thank you, sorry for my bad English.
greetings
hmmmm thanks for sharing that, seems suspicious to me as well. it would be nice if they can prove it by showing a video of their stock and hands-on with the phone. no problems with your english, good share you have there.
Hi,
Indeed very interesting website, more over they’re currently selling it with a 15% discount ($300 more or less).
as has said Ian, it would be very nice if we could have some insurance about the phone they’re selling…
Let us know if you more information about this seller !
Regards,
Koubiack
at this site its cheaper and i know that chinaecarts is scam. my friend got scammed there..
this is the cheapest!
realpricesfromchina.com/pre-order-xiaomi-m2.html
that is also what I know on chinaecarts, heck I never have the urge to try them as most of the times their site is down or not working.
Hi, I have question
hootablet.com they are reliable or should I buy stuff from realpricesfromchina.com?
BEWARE Hootablet.com is a scam!
Look at the “about us” tab – it stole pictures and text from chinatablets
Yesterday a customer from Switzerland got a screenprotector instead of a tablet!
He fortunately put a complaint in for paypal before that – and they refunded him – others may not be so lucky.
I got suspicious too – had ordered a mini x – and when i put in a complaint because of the stolen pictures on the site – he refunded me without comment. DONT BUY THERE!
Seems like it was a mistake from the Hootablet shop: ripoffreport.com/hootablet-com/audio-electronic-retail-stores/internet-internet-dfce0.htm
The person already had a refund and the real phone is on it’s way. He only has to pay when he receives it.
I bought a Lenovo K860 over there and it’s in shipment. I’ll let you all know how it turns out.
I really hope realpricesfromchina.com is legit which I believe they are (hope someone here can try them and testify). They have a very good reason of businness: bringing gadgets from china to the world at their actual local prices. They have very few line up of products so far but I can foretell it will eventually increase…
Hi Ian,
Do you think Mixeshop can be trusted?
Thanks
I really cant tell, I have no idea and havent heard of it from my friends.
hello guys .. I write from Italy, I placed an order of 230 euro on hootablet ..
I think it’s a scam … even if I still have the seller on skype gave me the traceability and told me to be quiet.
I do not trust .. I felt pay pal ..
What do you say?
I do 2 days between the claim for refund ..
that is bad to hear pal, just keep us posted.
hello,
look at that price??
I made purchases on hootablet but I do not know if I trust …..
someone other than those who have written have had experiences?

Hi,
I visit China in a couple of days, do you know where I can buy the phone there?
Or do they only sell the phone online?
Thank you!
you can directly go to Shenzen, and then be overwhelmed with all the tech gadgets, phones and tablets you can see there everywhere for very cheap pricing. heheh I envy you, let us know when you got there.
Thanks for your suggestion, I will try Shenzen.
Cool, Hootablet should be located in Shenzen too, could you try and see or he is reachable in real life?
im planning to make a post about exposing hootbalet. as of this moment, i am advising each and every one to not make any money risks with that shop.

I be more willing to pre-order this phone. Im still thinking about buying it to FCT. I’ve talk to a rep on QQ every day since last week about the latest news about the xiaomi mi2, well as of this moment right now they declare it IN STOCK on their page. I also saw a news (forgot the source) that they will start selling it around OCT 18 which is today (Manila Local Time). In fact, the rep named Gary on skype and QQ send me a screenshot of their conversation where in he is asking if the phone is available or not.
Hey,
anyone have a clue what shops will be selling this beauty directly in china?!? I have a friend whose going to visit there soon and would be awesome to give him a name of a shop that sells the MI2 before he leaves! Thanks guys!
as of this day, there isnt a mi2 available on stores even on CHina. but if your friend will be looking for a place to see these phones and other gadgets, I think Shenzen is the place to visit.

I just placed an order through fastcardtech… I am not sure when they are going to ship. Will update if I receive anything.
@oddiess, did you pay via paypal or wire transfer?
@ boogerlad
I also placed an order on fastcardtech, they said they don’t have stock, they had only 50 units!! and all of them are already sold… preorder seems to be necessary to get this phone; i most probably will wait for the mid november batch…
Hi evryone
I have order MI2 from fastcardtech
So i will keep you posted about it
Ok one more thing
I have placed order for MI2 from fastcardtech but I would like to know when will they have the phone and when they will ship to me before i confirm money transfer
pag ba nagorder sa fastcardtech may babayaran pang tax dito? or wala na? kung meron magkano?
wala na pre, pero depende sa postman nyo kung corrupt. dito samin, P150 ang singil.
ah salamat sir.. eh pano pag EMS?
wala pa ko idea sa EMS. hehe di ko alam kung san dumadaan yan eh, pero baka siguro parang kagaya lang ng via airmail, mas mabilis nga lang yan,
Nag order na ako at nag send ako ng payment thru Western Union last October 28 2012. Kino-contact ko ang service team saka yung mga support reps nila sa QQ and as of today lagi nila sinasabi na hindi pa din sila nkakuha ng stock this November 19 sale. Hindi ko alam kung totoo yung 50 tickets nila. I’,m pretty sure I’m one of the earliest to pre-orders this on fastcardtech.If hindi pa din sila nkakakuha ng stock pag dating ng November 29 sale, re-refund ko na lang bayad ko. Sino dun sa mga nag order yung komo-contact din sa mga reps nila sa skype saka QQ?
ako bro, via QQ ko sila nacocontact. hindi ko kasi matyaga yang si Xiaomi Mi2. mainipin kasi ako. XD
ako bro, via QQ ko sila nacocontact.
this is out of box question
but weather the lg optimus g is been released in the china and is yes then at what price.
it has the same spec that the xiaomi mi 2 is having but with 4.7 inch screen and 13 mp camera
I have no idea friend.
im coming to china next month so weather i will able to get to xiaomi mi2 buy the local shops in china?
and what will be the cost in china
and what will be the cost of the 3000mahz battery there
I think I had already answered this question here. lol btw:
1. i think it depends on luck if you might find a shop that sells this in China as its really a hot buy phone, and not much is produced as of the moment.
2. i do not know, it might be just around a little more than 300usd in China if you get it directly from XIaomi, not from other resellers.
3. i have no idea my friend.
WELL, PRICE JUST RAISED TO ~450 IN MOST SITES.
TOO BAD. THAT TOO CLOSE TO THE GS3
