Sure, they're Chinese, but they aren't exactly nobodies. They’ve got the highest smartphone sales growth out there—they even managed to overtake Samsung in their home market.
You're right about the service situation—if I recall correctly, the nearest center is somewhere in Europe, which is definitely a downside. That said, from what I've seen, they aren't prone to breaking—the hardware on the newer models is top-tier—and the OS is actually Android based MIUI. There’s a massive community behind it that constantly develops, tweaks, and customizes everything, so the support is actually solid. It’s a smart buy if you want great value for your money, but you have to weigh that against the service gap and the fact that MIUI isn't everyone's cup of tea—you really should check it out before pulling the trigger.
