BTW, seems like after 3 days of use, i can conclude that the battery life of the Mi3 is not that outstanding as most reviews on the net touted about. Should be in the OK region, but not praise worthy imo.

Consumption wise compared to a Z Ultra (same 3050mah capacity) with a bigger screen (6.44") and comparable processor, the Z Ultra fair better in terms of standby power drop from my test.

But one saving grace for Mi3 is the Optimization option. Noticed that if you go to the security app > check > optimize, you can have a small boost in battery life. But had to occasionally, not often, open this and run optimization through the day to get good battery life.

To my experience, directly out of the box, Sony's Stamina mode, and Samsung's battery saver modes are better implemented to get good battery usage as you dont need to frequently 'optimize' anything to get good juice out of your device.

But as a whole this is one snappy phone. Wouldn't complain on anything else. 

I think its a good review on the phone isn't is it? We are here to discuss its pros and cons. So if you only want to see only the cons you can just stick to Xiaomi's webpage or fb page. 

is free?

Don't buy Mi3 original flip case because it can't protect Mi3.

original flip cover only use 3m stick to stick on mi3.
if u drop ur phone. i think the flip cover will come off.

if use other brand de flip cover at lease gt cover + flip. not using 3m to stick.

after few days in using xiaomi powerbank. i found it able to charge my xperia ZL 2350mAh for 3 times.. everytime i charge is around 10% up to 100% and its will auto stop after certain full charged period..

if according to formula, 10400 x 3.6V / 5V = 7488mAh. with conversion around 90%. then left only 6739mAh.. divided by phone 2350mAh only 2.8 times.. i feel yes.. the battery have done what's it claimed by xiaomi..
