Someone did post a tutorial to change that to English in the MIUI forums. Search for it.

Update it.. And camera isn't that good.. Provided the lightning conditions are correct it can take good pictures.. That's all.. And I do think the camera software can be optimized a bit too.. Besides a good camera doesn't mean a good picture depends on the user too

Bro, the camera is too good for the money,only you have to know how to use it. There's immense manual control,use them if you are familiar. HDR works wonders in low light conditions,but don't shake when taking hdrs.

congrats... make sure to update ur phone and then factory reset it

 

[sushovan]

updated to ver 18 ROM.. but is factory reset necessary? I heard that Doing so will result in removal of gapps also.

also, any good screen guards and cases there? the ones at flipkart like karpine,rock etc are crap and Mi accessories are forever out of stock.

I didn't factory reset after the update and I don't find any issues so according to me it's not necessary.
I ordered the following screen protector Nillkin Tempered Glass Screen Protector Film for Miui Xiaomi M3 MI3 | eBay

As for case I'll get the official flip case once it's available. It should be launched by next week since the prices have been updated.

Hopefully there wont be another massacre on flipkart regarding accessories launch like they did with the phone launch.

 

[kamikaz]

I'm not really a fan of flip cases, once I get the nillkin screen guard and that along with an aluminium protector should be good..
There are couple of them selling at 700 rupees plus, these things though are only about 400rs on Chinese websites
I'll get my accessories once my phone issue is sorted out, waiting for that flipkart call or I'm gonna raise hell!!
Btw there is an option while resetting to not delete user downloaded data or something similar I used that..

And funny enough though I got your phone before you as per the import date on your pic mine is newer :/ might be a typo on mine

 

[The Incinerator]

Those aluminum ones were selling for Rs499 on eBay on 22nd but now all they prices have skyrocketed. A flip cover with a vacuum lock is the only thing that actually saves your screen. Personal experience,these new tempered glass protectors don't do much,if there's a free fall for the fone the screen will shatter in most cases but the tempered glass protector will stay intact.A good quality screen guard is .26 mm thick and the tempered glass is .30 mm ,so its pretty implied.Its a new fad,will die soon.

 

[ithehappy]

Flip cases are worthless IMHO. Even if there's a vacuum / magnetic lock there's no surety that the flip will stay down in case of a drop.

 

[The Incinerator]

The vacuum lock won't open no matter what in good cases from Pudini or Nilkin,when there's a free fall. Neither it will let the screen crack if your car keys and phone are in the same pocket of your jeans. Things I learnt the hardway.! I'm using a Pudini cross pattern black for the Mi3, the quality is awesome.

Pudini® XIN Series Flip PU Leather Case Cover FOR Xiaomi MI3 M3 Miui | eBay
hahahahaha epic,thats nearly 15-20X the price

 

[The Incinerator]

I bought it for Rs 650 !!! Ha ha ha, really they have gone mad,the sellers! I really wanted the aluminum back cover but then the nightmare of my previous 5 inches screen cracks reigned me in.

Get it from aliexpress,but the wait is of 21 days but the collection is mind bogglingly huge. All eBay.in sellers get it from aliexpress.

They probably don't have it in stock. Some sellers have this habit of overpricing their product listings when they don't have the stock. For some reason they don't like re-listing.
