I am in for Redmi Note 3G. It has all things I need.
Big Screen, Good Camera, Dual Sim, 2GB with Octa Core.
Cons like old OS, low ppi, heating/battery drain no probs with me.

Sale for Note3g starts today at 2 PM. I am thinking of skipping it, see reviews from normal people and any software issues it might have. Can always get it next time...

Cant decide between the Jellybean Mediatek 6592 3G or wait for the Kit Kat Snapdragon 400 4G. I think the Dragon will be better overall! Do put in your views guys,

This one is for my bro whose Asus Zenfone 5 was stolen during festive season, dual sim priority.
If I had to get it then Snapdragon would be my choice.
These fones are going to get Android 5 so no worries for me even my Redmi 1s will get it.

Do think of Zenfone 5 at same price but not so good battery in comparison.

Can't believe so many people bought this outdated phone :/

Out dated ??

In what sense bro..:-?

I feel these specs are very good for the price. JB os is bit old but acceptable for average users.

[MENTION=82407]sandynator[/MENTION] agree with you on Snapdragon. But aint octacore and mali 450 better over snapdragon 400 and adreno 305? I want your views on the chipset and proccy.

Firstly I'm not that technical guys cannot comment much so my lay man's view...

On paper the specs are good but not sure of actual usage. IMO it could outperform 4g version but there are few question in my mind...

How will it handle MIUI?

Does any app on Android uses entire 8 core? Is it really required or for that matter 2gb ram to run device smoothly for day to day apps & small games?

Why can't the OS be optimized for 512mb or even 1gb ram & basic dual cores for day today usage in order to run the device lag free for months together. Heard Kitkat is smooth but can experience few lags on my Nexus 7 2012 too.


For me 4 core snapdragon will suffice even 2 krait cores will do ;) just the OS should be optimized well to run lag free.

Had Lumia 520 for 1 year & totally happy with it except battery life. Could play Asphalt 8 without any lags but I cannot dare to install it on my Redmi 1s.

Your point is very true too,it reminds of the Intel Q6600 days when we were all in dilemma as to what to buy Quad or Dual when in actuals those days hardly any application needed quad cores!!!

If any one has one in cart and won't need it please COD to me.
