do you find any different between stock browser and chrome. i found that stock browser is pretty slow compare to chrome. how about your experience? do know any good benchmark tools for android browser?

let me post my own findings. Using two most popular benchmarking tool, Sunspider and Peacekeeper, below is the result:

Test environment:
Factory load of MI3 with OTA (MIUI-JXDMYBD14.0)
Latest Chrome browser from Playstore
Stock MIUI browser
Both data and cache cleared prior test

Sunspider Javascript benchmark
(lower is better)

MIUI Stock browser (V1.0) - 728.8ms
Chrome (v35.0.1916.138) - 754.1ms


Peacekeeper
(higher is better)

MIUI Stock browser (V1.0) - 1182
Chrome (v35.0.1916.138) - 986

RAM usage (5 tabs opened with Google.com.my page)
(lower is better)

MIUI Stock browser (V1.0) - 113Mb
Chrome (v35.0.1916.138) - 98Mb


The test concludes, MIUI stock browser is performing a slight better on both tools, but Chrome utilized a little less RAM than MIUI stock browser.
For some reason, Peacekeeper detect MIUI stock browser as Safari 4.0(are they using the same engine?)
Pls see below below screen capture.

So anyone has experience both browser on your Mi3? The test shown Stock browser is better. How about your self experience?

So far i didin't find site that is not compatible with the stock browser. Do u encounter any?

Try the ROCK shockproof case
http://www.lelong.com.my/rock-xiaomi-mi-3-...7-01-Sale-I.htm

came from that crowd as well, but with Mi3 stock browser, i think they r equally good.

i got my side scratched because of car key/coins..i just bought the ROCK shield case that protect back n side..front with the glass protector..hv to agree the flip case design can be improve

Try here:

not for me.. silky smooth..r u on stock rom, or dev?

i dont mind of getting bigger, as long it can help absorb the energy from drop. i got a small son love to play the phone and it's prone to get dropped, so it served the reason

kind hearted

Done..smooth buying for PB Present for Father's day on the way

it is the thought, not the value

i somehow agree with this..

I call, nationwide is delivering for me even in system shown UPS tracking....today will meet nationwide folk to collect

Any idea what is the 4hole on top of mi3? I thought it is the mic, but when i did the mic test, it is not...mic is located beneath somewhere around the speaker.. Any one has the answer?

Oh yeah..voice cancellation mic..tq

Sighh..i just received my Rock shield case..late delivery.. and already bought one..let me know if anyone intrested..will sell it off..PM me..

i think those who complain about lagging, love to close program after they using it (using the RAM/App cleaner function)..Android is a smart system, the reason why system put the apps on the background is for fast access since it's been loaded to RAM..and the system is smart enough to release them from memory when more memory needed to run your current app.

the appointed 3rd party for the delivery, which in my case, Nationwide. Got call from nationwide and they delivered with their nationwide van..
