I do not know why you specifically had to mention "not of Chinese brand". Just to let you know, before you start ignoring this reply, Xiaomi is an upstart Chinese mobile compoany with an astonishing global presence. If you don't believe me, please see the global smartphone sales reports of 2015 and you will find Xiaomi in top 5. And to update you, the 2016 Q1 mobile sales charts of China shows that Xiaomi is miles ahead of Apple in China. I used to have a mentality like you, but after using products like the OnePlus One and Xiaomi Mi 5, I have realized that these phones give literally the best performance and and are not prone to any software or hardware damages. This brand has excellent service centres across India and will promise to resolve any of your query.
Hope this helps!
