Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() I think its the biggest selling premium phone in China. Its just that their business model is totally different. So I am hoping for a much better reliability. More importantly, I hope it brings some amount of sanity to mobile phone pricing by letting OEMs relook at their pricing policies and business models. |

The phone wasn't laggy, but it wasn't snappy either. Not like the almighty snapdragon 800 - think of latencies that are predictable but visibly slower than the flagships. http://appglimpse.com/blog/touchmark...een-latencies/ - this would be at the lower end of the scale as per my 15-20 min playing with the device. (sample set of 1 btw). The look/feel is simply awesome btw. I would recommend letting other early adopters buy it, then see it in person before deciding!

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Did not get your context of the two links. Here is the CNET review of MI3. http://www.cnet.com/products/xiaomi-mi-3/ For its price, I think its a quite a product. Last edited by ampere : 8th July 2014 at 14:13. |

The CNet review talks about the visual appeal and is totally silent about the responsiveness. THAT was where I was really disappointed with the MI3. | |

I suppose it has got something to do with the software. It simply may not be as fine tuned as what you get from the other mainstream manufacturers, I'm just guessing here. | |

All I'm saying is - let someone else buy, and then you can buy after being satisfied on this one aspect! | |

The guys over at Samsung/Sony/HTC must be nervous - earlier it was the Moto G, then E and now this! Seems like all the action has suddenly shifted to the sub-20k segment! Acche din aane wale hain, for sure ![]() | |
