Comparison between Mi3 stock browser and Google Chrome.
By 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.

i own both devices. i hv to agree that s3 camera is ready on the fly to capture instantaneous picture. the autofocus seems to be better than mi3. this is known limitation with Mi3 autofocus. probably it could be better through software upgrade and seems the hardware is a well known Sony exmor CMOS cam, i dont think hardware is the limiter.

for Mi3 cam, to get a good picture, u need to play around with the advance setting. quality wise (with the right setting), MI3 picture is better in term of details, lesser noise reduction artifacts and the color is more natural.

MIUI was build and optimized on the system level.With smooth UI, chances the developer to keep more MIUI apps on the RAM is higher. This is to make sure the apps to be called even faster. So, each of the brand have their own developer developing their system/UI with the different end game. So to compare free RAM on diff system is not accurate. The closest will be when both running the same AOSP rom.

Mayday! just change to a new theme and after applying, the phone jam. reboot doesn't help. always goes to the blank page and nothing can be touch..all button not responding

read few pages back.. people start talking/updating it a while ago

Download the Mi Market, then install Google play from there

Am I too late to know that actually we can just swipe down on top of stock app icon(music and notes) and open a floating window of that app?

Thanks. definitely im late to know on this specific features

no MHL supported, tested
DLNa, never test
miracast supported, tested

Did you use any kind of casing that block the noice cancelation mic?
One at the top, the other one near to camera flash.

its depend (i dont know why some has issue). i updated mine yesterday and tested all basic function and it looks good. Only thing is that my weather app doesn't detect location, but it was fixed after i cleared the app data.

i updated the ROM through stock recovery. prior that, I cleared cache and data. so it was a clean install, i would say.

i can remove it without issue. on 22 btw.
