The only difference is warranty right? I heard about the xiaomi 3s, but it should be above my budget.

Mi3S is rumoured to be launched with the same price as the MI3 @ 1999 Yuan.

should be.. almost same chipset except with lte feature

Going to satu gadget later on. Hope they have a demo unit there. Coming from WP8, this might be my first android device.

No demo unit. All sealed box. Only place u can test is 7 Mobile.

7Mobile: These guys keep on testing the demo unit but never buy from us, must be come from LYN forum.

their price need to be more competitive.
this is a tight battle between them, SatuGadget and Directd

Got lah.. bought other phones from them. However I didn't get the Xiaomi because they don't have black.

btween those three, I think only Directd got black
not sure about the new players i.e nano, expressfon and abcphone (I normally browse from lelong.my)

Hope there's silver ready stock there.
EDIT, they are using Singapore ROM right? It comes with google services?

April - TBA

Don't have silver when I bought my 2nd one 1 week+ ago.. only black and white.

It comes with wcdma version.. not Singapore. Singapore is a stripped down version due to copyright issues. They removed the movie app which u can stream movies online and also removed the download portion of the Music app.

When i buy it, should i flash to singapore rom or remain using the wcdma?

if you can live with a few language bugs here & there, I would suggest remain using the wcdma (developer build) for weekly updates..

Any noticed bugs? I see from forum there's delay in notification from whatsapp facebook etc.

there's a bug with google search .. not sure if it is with google or miui.. the app shuts down when u open it. Also Facebook messenger u can't record voice.

In terms of lag, no lag. Miui runs very fast.

the ones i noticed is that in some areas, the tab options show up as chinese instead of english.. I don't face issues with Whatsapp/FB notifications..

disclaimer: I'm using Mi2S though.. not Mi3

i got bug in whatsapp where i can't record voice message. Seems like is a known bug when i google around and few user had reported in play store review d.

I hope they fix this since it is a common problem. I tried the normal voice recorder app that came with the phone it works though.. so it must be a software problem rather than hardware.
