Initially at least two Xiaomi phones were granted PTA’s type approvals, including Xiaomi Mi Max and Xiaomi Mi 5.
Type approvals for Xiaomi Note 3 and Xiaomi Note 4 will also be obtained with-in next few days, sources have confirmed to us.
A Pakistan Telecommunication Authority spokesperson confirmed to ProPakistani that the authority has granted Xiaomi the required NOC — to operate and sell phones in Pakistan — after Xiaomi complied with all the requirements that are set by the government.
Not to mention, Xiaomi also passed the NTISB security test.
We can also confirm you that Xiaomi has finalized its nation wide distribution partner in Pakistan.
An announcement for official launch can be expected with-in days, if not weeks.
It must be mentioned that Xiaomi will also bring its accessories, with a complete range of Xiaomi Eco products, including Power banks, MI VR, MI band 2 and Car charger in Pakistan.
While we don’t have details yet, sources said that Xiaomi products will be sold at competitive prices along with official warranty in Pakistan.
Sources said that selling price for Xiaomi phones and accessories will be close to the prices they have in Chinese market.
Good news all around! Can’t wait to get my hands on the Mi Mix bad boy.
Well Mi Mix is not coming yet. Not anytime soon.
newer phones will take about 2 months gap
boy you must be rich af !
the Mi Mix gonna damage you for like 65-70k at the v.least !
You finally got your wish :)
hell yea , mate !
Mubarak ho bro :)
aapko bhi XD
Mix is around Rs. 54000/-
nice … but can you please tell me WHERE to get it from ?
my replies are on hold to be approved :-)
oh … can you contact me on Facebook instead ?

thankyou man :)
i checked them out … i see that they actually import the phone , sort of ?
so i STILL have to deal with customs , no ?
I dont know about the procedure. Better if you call and ask them. May be they would have personnel in Pakistan to handover your delivery. Yes its not Pakistani online story..apology :-)
no prob bro
thanks for the guide :)
do they deal in cash on delivery ?
Dubai. :)
Last week i got Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 from there. Ab tou Etisalat k elawa dubai ki local market main bhe mil rha hai
Taha, Mix is quite attractive but i would suggest you to take a look at Mi Max. It has greater specs then Mix.
you have got it the other way around mate. MIX is with flagship snapdragon 821 processor with 4/6GB of RAM while the MAX is with mid-range snapdragon 650/652 processor with 3/4GB of RAM
Look at price difference. Mix 55k and max 28k.
i think he’s talking about price to performance ratio
i think not coz he just said that MAX has greater specs than MIX, for which I have corrected him.
hmm
mi mix 800$ seriously you will pay that much :)
Oye hoay Aamir bhai aap k mun main ghee shakar achi quality wali.
Finally wait is over. Now Xiaomi phones will be launched here officially with atleast 30% price hike as compare to international arena. Expect Xioami redmi note 4 around 30 thousand here.
Note 4 3gb 32gb is available for 15k in China. Even 30% will take it to max 20k
Still expect not less than 25K
That’s mere speculation and to a certain extent it will be the case but let’s see what price we will get officially :)
It 1199 RMB which is equivalent to 19000 Pakistani Rupee.
Bought it last week.
I don’t know from where you bought it but it is 999 at JD for 3gb 32gb and 1199 for 3gb 64gb :)
P.S: I specifically mentioned 3gb 32gb :P
@disqus_uFvIb3cTkS:disqus , can you PLEASE tell me where and how did you buy it ?
Someone from China brought it for me.
Was it 3gb 32gb or 64gb version?
64gb
lucky !
talk about being a sore pessimist !
you’re on your way to their top listings !
Rightly said, bro. He SO IS a sore pessimist. Rarely will you hear something positive from this dude. He just jumps on to the pessimists’ bandwagon as soon as there is some tech news as if he’s the ultimate frickin’ authority. This dude seriously needs to take a chill pill and relax.
Zafar, do something about your anemic thoughts. Hit the gym or something. From the LOOKS of it, it sure seems like anemia is taking its toll real bad on you.
good news for consumers, bad news for existing established brands selling products at higher price without worry of any competition!
RIP QMobile!
nope! They will live
O waoooo what a News
awsome news… you rock…
China China everywhere..
billion times better than the crap samsung and co. make !
Is Xiomi really comparable to Samsung? Being a chinese brand is’nt it stand in line with Qmobile, Oppo etc? Or is it really have the quality to be compared with Sam, LG?
umm … oppo is pretty premium if you take a closer look. their pricing strategy is another story altogether … infact i’m sure VOOC is much better than the fast charging that the mainstream brands offer.
PLUS , samsung has hit its own foot with the axe. it’s been making phones with sub-par specs and crazy prices for a while now and that is venomously monotonous ! LG has been terribly unfazing with its budget offerings being HORRENDOUSLY under powered … budget phones are the life-blood of ANY phonemaker. this is the sweet spot where Xiaomi has hit home very , VERY well !
Xiaomi has done very well to ensure that an AMAZING majority of their phones are best value for money AND equipped with the latest and arguably powerful hardware (studying Computer Engg at undergrad so rest assured i know what im talking about :p)
a prime example would be the Redmi 4 Prime (pun intended) . the internals are crazy for the price and you can’t find even a closely priced setup anywhere else.
We must appraise the technology ease to common people on 5/10 price group mate :-)
Does this mean that we can now import these phones from abroad without any hassle from PTA?
try it and let us know :)
makes damn SENSE !
good question @deltaop:disqus
People in Pakistan are already ordering Xiaomi products including their Phones from Ali Express and they are receiving it without any hassle.
Great Great News. :)
Good news ki line lagi hui hai aaj kal Pakistan main mashaAllah :)
woAh, well i bought Honor 8 on a Black Friday deal (will be in my hands next month)
From where?
NewEgg dot com
how much was the damage ? (in precise PKR please )
289.99$ with lots of gifts :)
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6e30f69568491abc9d744c3f1cd2f6e87f712720de2fdaf371e80823f634906f.png
so around 30k pkr
NOT BAD ! DAMN you got a steal !
and what about shipping charges bro?
no ship or tax.,., 289.99 is the ful n final total.,
damn. v.nice bro !
final question… how did the customs feel about it :p ? i’m sure you HAD to pay some sort of import tax to them , no ?
yar someone is coming from states,, he bought it for me in states and currently the order is in states :) so he will bring it to me :D next month as i said earlier will get the device next month
you lucky bloke !
luckyy man now just the phone is $399
waited 2 months for that.,., it went more lower to 264.99 with gifts+other and then they removed the gifts from it so there were more luckier ppl than me :D
Yai pakistan m deliver kub karte hain?
read the whole chat bro,. :)
Syar,
Does newEgg make delivery to Pakistan?
there was international shipping didnt look for whehter newgg ship to Paki but for me someone was coming from states so i took the deal :)
BTW i also tried my “Card” on that site but it didn’t accepted my payment :D
Yes, hand carry works always :) BTW Bank Alfalah credit card is working on Amazon.com.
So is Askari MasterCard
Most of stores in USA only American express or local credit cards are accepted.
Aaj unn sary zakhmo ko Amir bhai ny bhar diya hai jo last few years se Xiaomi ki news post kr kr k diye gaey thy.
@Muhammad Yasir Kahan ho bhai, eid ka din hai aapke liye.. :-)
Hahahhaha! Bilkul sahi kaha KMQ per yasir ko actual rate pe milay ga tabhi it’s worth it warna bekaar hai. Overpriced sets tou already mil rahe hain market main.
damn right … it ALL comes down to pricing in the end !
fingers crossed on their pricing strategy and marketing decisions. altho i do have a hunch that they’ll be just fine !
@kashifmuhammadqasim:disqus , haazir janaab ! aur bilkul theek farmaya aapne …
this is MONUMENTAL news ! the influx of TOP NOTCH Chinese Phones has begun in Pakistan ! i sure do hope Meizu , LeEco and the like follow them in ! boy , the market is so gonna go crazy if the prices are kept geniunely affordable and consumer friendly !
oh and the imbecilic brand conscious public will FINALLY get to realise how BLIND and SHALLOW they were with their mindless worship of over rated , over priced and absolutely POOR value for money iphones and samsungs !
fun fact , just for you , Qasim Bhai :
actually , i knew about this in advance. i;ve been talking to the guys who’re teaming up with Xiaomi for local distribution. thought i’d let it remain a surprise for you guys so it’ll sound more sweeter when y’all would be hit with the FANTASTIC news out of the blue !
(hint : these guys have sold , or attempted to , sell Mi phones locally a while back as well ! step up your guessing game :D )
MashaAllah good to know bhai, aur aap tu andar ke bande lagte ho :-) You have all the inside news. Lagta hai aapka orhna bichona hi Xiaomi hai :-)
Regarding the guesses, I can’t guess any names for now as I am not following that episode loyally, may be few other readers will give it a try.
ahaha …
insider ? not so much…
but a dedicated hardware enthusiast overall (and future H/W designer IA). syncs nicely with what i’m studying at undergrad and also goes to show that all the maths , computing , software and electronics is not as boring as it seems while doing detailed study and is actually pretty cool when you put it to use in the real world (like the SoCs in mobiles , they’ll serve you pretty good when you get one of these Xiaomi powerhouses InshAllah :) ! )
Bhai aapki itni technical batain humare jaise anparh logon ke liye ziyada garhi hain ;-) Magar aap jo keh rahe honge sahi hi keh rahe honge :p
aray janab sharminda naa karen
aap ki waja sy hi to ye forums puur-ronaq rehte hain !
LeEco is already here, but same as Xiaomi, small distribution (kind of non-official).
Yeh Chohan kuch jaldi bara nahi hogaya? Aik chiknay bachay ki picture huwa karti thi recently is profile pe. Yeh beard aur yeh bachay se naujawan kab aur kaisay?
kindly guide me to LeEco seller in Karachi/Pakistan
I mean it has opted for same business model and has the same distributor as Xiaomi.
oh …
damn
btw nice goatee
Not Really! Those 2 top of the line brands spent alot on R&D and marketing which makes sense for their higher price … If it wasn’t samsung ,iphone you wouldn’t have seen Oneplus either …
aaand we caught another one ….
Glad didn’t buy any smart phone on last Friday ….
same :D
irony is; xiaomi phones will have WAY better value than ANY of the deals offered on Black Friday !
“We can also confirm you that Xiaomi has finalized its nation wide distribution partner in Pakistan (and its not Cheezmall)”
RIP Cheezmall
HAHAHA ! ROFL !
WOW! I am quite happy to hear that as I was literally looking for the Xiaomi Mi5 phones in Pakistan. Please let me know whose selling the Xiaomi Mi5 in Pakistan?
So good news. Able to purchase best phone in cheapest price in pak. Congrad XIAOMI. So warm Welcome from Pakistani fans in pak.
Aik aur jhooth!
“Sources said that selling price for Xiaomi phones and accessories will be close to the prices they have in Chinese market.”
FUC YEA !
I also confirmed it Xiaomi is officially coming in Pakistan.
Hint 1: Aliexpress.com is now again shipping there Xiaomi smartphones to Pakistan. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/549bd0cc5a4f50d72d393ce2ac701ef053e04283d0dbf1103f8ed2c2d09963e6.png
Also, I confirmed it from PTA today.
well done @disqus_wawaa1Ae5Z:disqus
well some STORES of ALIEXPRESS were still shipping Xiaomi phone to Pakistan even in the ban
they were bold af :p
Yes, Aliexpress.com were selling Xiaomi Phones but they had stopped shipping to Pakistan from August to mid of November, but they have started shipping again..
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
WELCOME BABY !
you don’t know how DAMN LONG I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS !
infact , you should gimme something free for the time i have spent musing about your arrival and hyping up the people about the core concept of chinese handsets :p
(nothing too extravagant , a dual cam variant of the Mi5s would be fine :D )
Mi Mix and Mi Max is already available in Pakistan. Max in 23500 and Mix in 50K plus. Dont spread false statement please.
@Sameer Yasir:disquswhere can i buy ?
link or some info , PLEASE !
please visit. pakistan.jadopado.com
yar its not a Pakistani store.,., orginaly they are from Gulf
Just come to know. Yes you are right. Shipping charges to Pakistan would be added so definitely not will be in pakistan.
AliExpress is best hey bhayya :)
orright. Thanks :)
Dear Writer, if it doesn’t happen this time, I will find you…,
HAHAH ! epic af !
:D
Aamir Bhai, is khushi main party dou sub loundon ko. Bohat sponsored postain chaapi hain tum ne bhi ab kuch jaib dheeli karo.
that’s a worried laughter i sense… :p
Ahahahahahahha i will be with you boy :-D
hahahah, you deserve more likes XD
I would like to have a xiaomi too :-) perhaps a great replacement of moto turbo.
Hamare liye to yahi Silicon Valley hai jab DTH aur Xiaomi aur 4G k saste packages aa jayen… :)
#Sarcasm
How many times has this been posted about? Every year you say they get type approval, but they actually don’t come because PTA backs out at the last minute and people get their hopes up for no reason.
Why not just post about it when they ACTUALLY GET LAUNCHED?
Log to aisye khuch ho rahye hian Jaisye Prize Bond Nikil aya hia Hosla :D abhi rate check karna lag samgh jaye gi :P but indeed it is going to great if they will officially take up all operation in Pakistan with warranty claim , i also look-forward to se ONEPLUS company here as well since they are in india and one 3T is one Top Notch phone
You do know that one plus is a subsidiary of oppo and they can be sold here but aren’t… Like you can’t buy moto phones but can buy zuk even though both branch out of lenovo.. So it’s the discretion of the business stakeholders rather than enriching the company profile for these people.. Secondly.. Xiaomi works on undercutting the competition which has helped them in every region as they give more emphasis on earning through the services rather than hardware.. and they would probably keep the prices on par to their global trends which would be a knock out for many…
Great
Super news !! although main ne daraz se kaaafi sasti deal maari hy recently but xiaomi k liye is Qmobile ko bhi bech dengayyyyyy. ;) ;)
Already own the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 and the Redmi Note 3 Pro. These phones are BEASTS and the bang for the buck!! Can’t wait for Xiaomi to officially start selling its phones here! xD
Kindly confirm about the note 3 Pro. I heard, in note 3 Pro there is sim 2 issue. Don’t get the signal sometime and also 3G and 4G don’t work on sim 2.. Did you check ?
I am not facing any kind of issue in note 3
I know its not related but worth sharing. Pro Paki.. share an article on this for the sake of Pakistani peoples as you are Pro Pakistani.

Is post kei source batao yeh asli baat hai yeh nakli.Koi banda batye kay kia yeh sach hai?
check today’s express newspaper back page.
Haan yeh sach hai, aur tumharey chonknay se lagta hai tum inhien main koi brand khatay ho. Kia yeh sach hai?
Han mere ghar main inhe main sai aik use hau raha hai.Ab change kar laina hai.
FTM just a day ago I went with lenovo :/
lol Same here bro, aj hi zuk z1 lya aur aj hi ye post agai :/
khair hai, we got value for money handset :p
Nope! Zuk z1 camera is beeelllooowwww Average for the price !!!
may be other handsets have better camera in this price range, but, my infinix hot note pro by the start of this year cost around 13,200, and got the zuk z1 for only Rs.18,640 (could cost 16,640 but daraz had some issues that time with discounts so I lost the chance), in comparison to that price camera is totally amazing, with premium read write speeds (infinix ram speed was just 1.1GB/s, zuk z1 has 5.28GB/s, internal memory read write speed of 69.6MB/s vs 226.5MB/s read & 12.4MB/s vs 52.2MB/s write speeds), performance wise totally satisfied & to me value to money.
Yes! from performance and battery backup point of view its best :)
yeah + 4G zong speed in my area, was able to get 44.8mbps today & 5+MB/s from playstore apps, so happy with it over all ^_^ hope the same for you :)
Z1 kitne ka mila?
@disqus_gJIPWdrqUi:disqus 21k
