RE: First withdrawal from Steemit // A GIFT FOR MOM!?
Yeah she would've been fine with getting the old one, but I mean.. if I had the opportunity I felt she should get a new one, not settle down for old phones all the time. :D
I've seen Xiaomi's in our stores, but I guess Estonians are skeptical about them. I mean.. even Huawei isn't much on the common prefered list to be honest, but as I have heard from my friends and read the reviews it seemed enough trustworthy to buy. I am looking forward to your Xiaomi review at one point! :D
"I've seen Xiaomi's in our stores, but I guess Estonians are skeptical about them. "
Yeah, I can understand why. The name can scare away a lot of people, I guess the same goes for Huawei. In the past Chinese products were known for notoriously bad quality, but I think that changed a bit in a good way in the last few years (I could mention Lenovo for example).
Among my friends, there are 2 "smartphone enthusiasts", who had lots of phones in the past. Since they've got their first Xiaomi's, they change only for newer/more expensive Xiaomi's. My little brother has one since last summer and he really likes it (Actually I bought it for him, it's a Redmi 4X. Nowadays for 16 years olds, it's really important to have a nice phone, and even though I'm not a big fan of this tendency, he deserves it anyway, because he is a smart little fella. :) He was really happy when he got it, just like your mom will be! :)). For me, these things are really convincing. I think it's good to be a little skeptical of everything, but as you said, your friends' opinion and reading reviews can help a lot before you buy something.

Oh, I hadn't thought of that! But yeah, it's a good idea! I'll probably get my phone in the next 1-2 weeks, so after a month of testing, I'll probably make a little review about it. Well, this post is a little bit "Tl;dr", sorry for that, haha.
Have a nice weekend with your mom! :)
Yeah I looked at some Xiaomi phones and the design is really good. Haven't heard about reviews that much though. I mean.. trustworthy ones. :D Everything from the internet can't be taken for good, because some reviews could be bought etc. :D
But yeah.. it's definitely a post idea here. ;)
