What is such a big gap? Both of these devices were having similar price last year. Perhaps you talking about S4 3G not the LTE version?

Mi3 is the most worthy phone to buy at the moment.

Talking about LTE, what is the purpose to have an LTE mobile internet? Do we really need LTE speed for normal mobile internet (browsing, social etc)? I am living at Klang Valley so i can say that i am satisfied with my 3G. I do think LTE will be more worthy on downloading movies torrent and video streaming. But this will drain your data quota like hell. So end of the day, LTE is not that benefecial. I have a friend using s4 LTE, and he never  used LtE with the phone. He only set his network to 3G.

Bro, Mi3 was never late as it's hardware is still 6 months old... and another thing is later better than none...
as I really fed up with Samsung, Sony and HTC placing the price over 2k for a high spec... furthermore others like OppO also trying it's luck placing Find7 more than 1.6k...
For me even Mi3 is around S4 spec priced at 800, I still will buy... it just nice and solid with 3000mAh battery...
better than I buy S4 which feels CHEAPO product, and lifetime of Samsung really sucks reliability is not there...

I'm looking at One+ One also but 5.5" screen really a lil big for me... it cost around RM1.2k only...

Is really a bargain for those wanna wait for S4, Z1 or Z1 compact or One M7 to drop price... or those wanna be OppO Find7 buyer...

LTE... is gold
donno where i read, it use less energy to watch the same youtube video compare to 3G
ur page pop up faster, especially u r browsing heavy image site... aka facebook/flicker/etc

yeah my area hv 4G...
and if u r given option to use 4G why opt for 3G? 

ok mi-3 still kick ass. peace 

I'm still trying to compare a few Chinese phones...

anyway, you says mi3 is only 6 months old. I hope tmrw not announcing a refresh. 6 months is kinda early... unless it's like Samsung's various variants... heh heh...

but lately, lots of affordable phones. Asus, Chinese brands, Motorola... nice.

Yoo, owners of Mi3..
Want to ask..
What kind of screen protectors are you guys using?
And any selling casings for Mi3?

My 3G can beat that..dont forget LTE will drAin your battery faster..

If may area have 4G, i will go for lte bcoz my data is unlimited one. Not sure uf u also have unlimited data like me .

Dont like MI3 just stay away from this thread. Peace no war.

using celcem?

hdr mode:


ok, not that sharp.

compare to my digicam:-

sorry but what's photo peeking?  google search isn't doing me very good in the office.
possible noise .
slightly like yours but mine is sharper. suffers the same blue tint but worse than yours.

Yes bro...as long as i still get unlimited data, i wont do any changes on my subscription. Even if i have to let it go, will pass it to relatives to enjoy it.

Nice watch I'm a fan of invicta also,  did u get it online?

How can you compare mobile broadband plan to mobile data plan leh

suntzulee , I think you can delete the TD-CMA variant specs in 1st post, as it is not applicable here in Malaysia, can help not to mix up members who're new to Mi3. 
Using the one from xiaomi itself, plastic 1.
