Hi, received my xiaomi mi3 yesterday after lots of failed attempts to buy one. Initially didn’t think of buying but because of the media hype changed my mind. Thought of keeping it as my secondary device to be back in touch with android.

I have been an android use from doughnut days but since one year switched to iPhone 5s. I like smallish footprint phones. Knew that mi3 is too big. But apart from size factor, I am underwhelmed by it in many things. Bezels too big. Screen much below par (not talking about resolution PPI) in terms of quality, contrast, blacklight etc. Relatively fast android but there are bits of stutter and lags here and there. Gave it to my brother today and started using his moto g.
I can say that after using both the phones, I would choose moto g over it any day.
Thinking of selling it and buying a moto g/x as my secondary phone.
But it’s definitely good value for money for people who like big phones and keep only one device with them.

as per my review is asme all time and about leg ?
there is no leg in phone in short its mind blowing phone

+1

we got ur point

I hav received Mi3 today and IF don’t like it display. I am using S3 which much better touch, colors, brightness whereas Xiaomi feels like bit dull when compared to S3.

Lol adjust your brightness and color saturation ! These are software features and can be easily changed !! Check in settings. This varies from user to user so it has to be adjusted according to ones own liking !!
And if you want even more tweaking use this :-

thanks for the link, I was just telling my first impressions.

try adjusting the settings . i am sure you will be able to find right match for you ! It will feel different coming from an Amoled Screen to IPS LCD based screen . But actually IPS LCD’s are vivid and vibrant then the Amoled. try out the settings .

Eg. Long pressing the Ring button opens sound settings

just go to apn setting and select new apn and type"bsnlnet"

Still not happening, share the detailed settings or is something else im missing out.

Edit: Just tried it on my friend`s redmi 1s, its not working in that phone also.

Anyone rooted his/her “beast” (Mi3) ??

Throw some light on which is best …

Also about the good and bad(if any) of rooting..

Just need some inputs on the frequent freeze and reboots of MIUI v5 on MI3, seeing this for last 1.5 months
I tried changing privileges for the apps that I use frequently still no help.
Some day it works smoothly but some days just opening whatsapp and typing something crashes.

I am not sure if it is due to swifkey app or something else
Anyone experiencing this and how to resolve it?

Switched to Google Keyboard and it seems to be stable so far… Anyone else faced similar issue and resolved it ?
