Mi is banking on this phone to take market share in India and probably everywhere else. Margins from phones is never Mi's priority but distributing their devices wide and far and then use their services/data gathering on the phone to generate revenue. Sounds familiar? Google.

Plus when they have the scale they will be able to command more new tech at even lower prices. Sound familiar? Apple.

If we can invest in the company it is certainly going to be a growth company.

I think Mi strategy only works in China. Elsewhere they are just continuing to clear out stock to third world countries that didnt have the purchasing power. The competition is so heat up in China that even Samsung had to take a hit there with its low-mid range phone. Every now and then, there will be a new comer challenging for the best bang for bucks.

Will Mi have the scale to command new tech at low price? Unfortunately no. Even Samsung cant emulate Apple success at getting ridiculously priced new tech. Apple only needed 2 specs in the tens of millions. Its much easier to do that than say 5-10 different specs.

Actually I find that we have contrasting answers.

The RN3 that I bought from 1G via Lazada did not have many bloatware installed. Its pretty standard like global rom. However many report that their phone came with bloatware.

I think cancelling the order for China RN3pro is a wise choice... because until today there is absolutely no words on flashing the bootloader (normal RN3 got la), not even a dev rom is available also. If we get the China version then might stuck with it (chinese rom) for a long long time... Better get the official Mi Malaysia set that comes with global rom...

Based on quick review by gsmarena they said rn3 only has quick charge first gen and camera wasn't good at all. They're testing rn3 with snapdragon 650, should be the same as rn3 pro right?

My guess is they are only using stock charger provided. I have read on miui forum some users already confirmed QC2.0.

Camera no good probably caused by software. Or worst case, they are simply bad that's why it's cheap lol. Keep calm and wait reviews on other sites. Can't say much because it still hardly exist anywhere except China.

Nope. it doesn't support QC 2.0. In fact, any QC chargers will not compatible to RN 3 Pro. It's been confirmed by the users in China. Eventhough SD650 does support up to QC 3.0, Xiaomi do not plan to put this feature into RN3 Pro. Well, afterall, no matter how powerful RN3 Pro is, this is still considered as a budget phone.

It's 2h charged for a 4100mah battery is still good in my opinion.Camera they compare with flagship sure is bad in their eye.Budget phone anyway so don't really bothered.

Software? Not sure. Some miui users did ask in the china community whether the feature can be added in the future software upgrade. But until now, no answer at all. So I assume it's not possible.

Charger? Confirmed no. Some users already tested with 9V charger. The result was showing that RN Pro 3 is only support up to 5v2A charger.

You will probably find better reviews online but I have to say performance is really awesome, no lag and smoother than baby bottom. My previous phone was also a hexa core phone Samsung Note 3 Neo. Screen didn't disappoint as I was apprehensive about moving away from Amoled. It is very bright.

MIUI needs some getting use to since I have only used Touch wiz on Samsung since SGS1.

Battery life is great. At 37% practical screen on for 2-3 hours and it still says remaining is 1 day 2 hours. But let's see if it calibrates further as I use it more.

Fingerprint very accurate and fast.

Now if only I can mod a microsim and microsd to fit the slot. Have to file them down in thickness but worried would damage the microsd or having them get stuck in the slot.

Anyways I got it from Adomax at RM1099 for the 32GB. Expensive but I need it now and early adopters usually pay more loh.

Anyone considering getting one won't regret it. Certainly a worthy phone.
