miuiandroid.com this morning have announced on Twitter that they will be importing the Mi-One phone into the UK and that they are not sure of the final price yet. The above price converted into pounds should be less than £200 which will make this a very attractive phone, no doubt import tax will be added at a later date. It should be available from the 29th of August, but as to how long it will take to arrive in the UK is another question.

The specification and price will make this a great new Android device, the unlocked bootloader will mean that other roms not only MIUI roms should be able to be flashed to it. I look forward to getting my hands on one of these.
