black actually more, silver and white is the first batch so a lot of stock.

Retailers are now selling sealed box direct from Xiaomi, no modifications whatsoever.

MIUI now supports kitkat 4.4.2 for Nexus 5 but under beta testing - I applied to be one of the tester, hopefully will get it then will post my feedback how it works on kitkat -

Good but just want to try something different so trading won't lose money. Now using LG G2. Will post my comparison in a few days. Next month will trade again either LG G2 or Nexus 5 with something else depending on what's available. Consider I loan the phone for 1-2 months then will try another phone.

Straight away I can say the MIUI room is much smoother compared to LG.

Just need the cable and card reader. I got it free when I bought phones from directd.

Looking forward to future Xiaomi mi3s and mi4.

Install the developer rom. It's already prerooted.

Doesn't make sense to buy from Singapore anymore unless you stay there. Retailers are selling even cheaper here and offers local warranty.

No red for Singapore also.. Here there is white, silver and black. Black the most sought after as u can match any colour case.

Waiting is forever as every month got news of new handphone from various manufacturer. Just get what u can afford now. By the time mi3s is here it could be another 6 months judging from how long mi3 is taking. By then mi3s already outdated to other faster phones.

Yes because for the same price they can get 2 years local warranty it doesn't make sense to buy Singapore set.

no point bringing from the price here is the same and includes local warranty.

in terms of speed, the mi3 is faster than the G2 in actual usage and in benchmarks .. the rom is very similar to Nexus 5 in terms of simplicity, speed and regular updates (once a week) but with the outlook of iPhone.

Camera wise the stock software has a bit of focusing problem indoors but I notice newer updates have improved it. I will see if I have time to post some pics taken by mi3.


In terms of storage G2 has more ie. 32GB if you buy from most retailers, but Mi3 supports USB OTG by default.

They will request the co. to send the damaged parts for replacement, if cannot be fixed they will replace a brand new unit. I exchanged 1 unit of Mi3 on the spot when I was not satisfied with the screen (had led bleed), Directd just changed it for me.

No only when I changed the screen to white background it shows.. Original blue wallpaper can't tell.

There's a promotion at Lowyat Plaza this week, iPro phones.. surprisingly they are using the same body as Xiaomi Mi3 and Xiaomi Mi2s.. but internals entry level dual core MTK selling for RM399 and RM499. They are also using MIUI rom.

Hmm can't remember I traded my Xiaomi for LG G2 already.. Maybe they've added it to all the versions.

April 23 announcement.. same time as One Plus One
