Whats up with Mi3 Hype ?

[izzikio_rage]

This is a strange trend that phones are following. Even the likes of the nexus and all have no SD slot

I believe this has been done to increase dependency on cloud ... Sadly this is not possible in India with crappy speed and overpriced internet

Apple was the pioneer here

Samsung only used Wolfson Audio in Original Galaxy S and S3.

Might wanna do that research before you post.

Plus bad network coverage. But even after all that it would still be great to have some stuff on your phone itself. Well USB OTG is still there

I totally disagree with the Qualcomm DACs are pathetic part. Wolfson is superior, but Qualcomm DACs are fine too, they are far from being pathetic!

But still it kills the portability factor... I mean it cannot rival the portability that the Micro Sd card offers

Yeah, now it's better to wait and hear first hand experiences after 6 months. No more dribbling around.

Whatever be the case, the device which you are using to type all this right now lacks one major feature. 'Auto Capitalization'.

well yours doesnt have a " " key,only ' '
btw even you are from Mangalore!?! So am I!!

^+1000

^ there is already a video in YouTube by c3rtech or c3ktech I'm not sure. He posted 6 month later experience.
PS: not personal 6 month experience

 

[Esoteric Eric]

First time users have already got 6 months worth experience

Apparently, some previous owners aren't impressed

[Discussion] Disappointed....| MIUI

But if they offer reasonable ASS just like they reasonably priced the MI3, then the lack of a developer support will somewhat get overlooked IMHO

EDIT: The discussion mostly refers to bugs in Developer MIUI ROM, not the Stable ROM. Hope this further helps in making a buying decision.

This isn't a new device, just launched here for the first time

 

[kkn13]

yeah but it does have issues right,no device is perfect

NOPE NO CIRRUS LOGIC CHIP IN MI3's SOLD HERE

Audio Quality of the Mi3 phone - Xiaomi Mi 3 - MIUI Official Community

Read the update from OP.

DUDE you are sooooo right. the sound quality is MUCH better after turning the software implementation off. thanks for the tip. the sound quality is FAR better than Moto g or moto e the only issue is that it is a tad bit low. the best thing is it does not distort during the highs like moto e or g. thanks again . i dont know where did that post go did you delete it?

Heartbreak for the Anti Mi3 crowd, we just received another update KXDMIBF 22 !!! Im yet to find fault with the previous KXDMIBE 18.

 

[Esoteric Eric]

I believe so.

Though the Mi3 crowd hopefully won't get a Heartburn if OnePlus One arrives at the right time, at the right price....with the added option of putting ANY custom ROM on it

My only gripe is that it lacks an FM radio (I'm a heavy FM user)

Any new features?? and size of update??

Even if the 1+1 costs 18k which is 4k more than the Mi3 it won't really make any solid proposition against the Mi3 TBH unless its priced within 16K,which is unlikely. If that happens you will see a lotta Mi3 in Olx and quickrr.

 

[sushovan]

The update size is 592M, I will stay away from it for now since i already spent a good chunk of my data pack behind 18.0 update and yet to find a single issue with it.
