Bought this phone (32GB model) on new year's eve and here is my review so far:

1. It's FAST. Fast enough that makes you feel like you're using a high-end phone. Antutu benchmark score is just slightly lower than LG G4 which runs on Snapdragon 808.
2. It feels premium. The aluminum body and weight really gives the impression that it is a high-quality phone.
3. Pictures are good but not great. It doesn't fare that well in low light conditions.
4. Graphical performance is admirable. Ran a few VR apps and it worked fine. Half of them ran at 60fps. App-side optimization is probably the main culprit.
5. The battery is huge and it can last you more than a day. True story. This is the one feature that I REALLY love about this phone.
6. BLOATWARE sucks. Bought my unit from DirectD and it came with some weird MIUI 7.1.1.1 ROM packed with unnecessary bloatwares. The fix? Flashed it to Sphinx V1c International ROM (based on MIUI 7 Global 5.12.10 Beta) and now it's clean. Yayers!

I bought the 3GB RAM 32GB ROM model from DirectD. It came preloaded with bloatware crap because of the custom ROM. Everyone who buys from them need to themselves a favor and flash their RN3 to SphinX Global ROM. Bye-bye bloatware.
