I've used this phone for few days without sim. What i can say

Pros
- best entry level phone that we can buy now below rm500
- phone is light and thickness is fine for such a phone in this price segment
- batt life is great. I do not have sim inserted but used wifi for 1hour SOT and only drained about 12% . Other sites reviewed mentioned it can achieve 7hours SOT.
- lcd very near to the glass giving nice pop out effect
- sd card!
- metal build but feels very light
- colors are great and display is sharp enough for 720p 5inch

Cons
- camera is just so so. Low light not so great.. Focus is quick but sometimes will miss
- micro stuttering observed while navigating through menus
- ghosting on the lcd when browsing the web.
- buttons not backlighted

Becoz the price is crazy expensive. 699 yuan in China, but Rm688 in Malaysia. Just wait until Mi Malaysia bring it, then it will boom ( if xiaomi keep the price down).

FDD LTE band 3 and 7 is supported, should be able to support Maxis LTE. I'm still in China, so couldn't test it yet.
For playstore, mi store can install all the google services including playstore as well.

I've used this phone for few days without sim. What i can say

Pros
- best entry level phone that we can buy now below rm500
- phone is light and thickness is fine for such a phone in this price segment
- batt life is great. I do not have sim inserted but used wifi for 1hour SOT and only drained about 12% . Other sites reviewed mentioned it can achieve 7hours SOT.
- lcd very near to the glass giving nice pop out effect
- sd card!
- metal build but feels very light
- colors are great and display is sharp enough for 720p 5inch

Cons
- camera is just so so. Low light not so great.. Focus is quick but sometimes will miss
- micro stuttering observed while navigating through menus
- ghosting on the lcd when browsing the web.
- buttons not backlighted

Sorry i gave the phone to my dad to use already, i still prefer my mi4 because it is faster and better screen.
Couldn't test it for now, but from the camera itself viewing using the phone can see it is not that sharp.
The phone is great for my dad because the battery standby is quite good because old ppl tend to forget to charge phone daily. The performance of Snapdragon 616 is adequate for the HD screen.

what do you mean faster? hmmm.. I thought the 616 is a slight modded version of 615? hmm.gif performance should be almost on par... except for the screen quality and camera...

Basically most of the local seller price this phone at similar price with Redmi Note 3 so I doubt most buyer will pick redmi 3 over redmi note 3

Hello. New user here. Bought from lazada. My unit come with miui v 7.1.1.0 with bloatware everywhere. Try to root and ended with boot loop after try to replace kingroot with supersu.

Long story short, able to boot to download mode, install miflash tool and other necessary driver and cerrently on v7.1.2.0 eu stable. Play store ready and no chinese bloatware.

I would recommend others to try.

miflash tool and drivers: link
miui v7.1.2.0 eu stable: link

Next, wait and see how the battery perform.

Does anyone know how to set the PIN so it could take more than 4 digits? I find this limitation is very annoying as other brands doesn't have this sort of stupid limitation. And I don't feel like to use password as a workaround as it will pop the keyboard up instead of the normal keypad when unlocking the phone.

There are 4 version of Official ROM.
- China Stable
- China Developer
- Global Stable (Not available yet)
- Global Developer (Not available yet)

Global Stable/Developer come with PlayStore/Google Services but the Redmi 3 is not yet launch on Globally. So it won't be able to have it until they launch it.

China Stable/Developer are official ROM for China market, problem is it doesn't default come with PlayStore/Google Services.

Flash using the miflash tool.

Also, i want to report that this rom (and other miui 7 too i believe) suffer from wifi sleep bug, which make gcm not working properly, and causing delayed notification for whatsapp, telegram and other app that use gcm. Hope this can be fixed soon.

Thanks for the reply. Actually I have found the exact same guide earlier but to be on the safe side, I just hope to hear from someone here who has actually tried the guide out with the Redmi 3. Thanks again.

Hey, quick question on the MiFlash Tool. http://en.miui.com/thread-218644-1-1.html

I had it installed and install the qualcomm driver 64 bit. But it seems like it has an error when I try to flash ROM onto my device. It says file not found.

Did you install the qualcomm drivers or just installed MiFlash by its own? and yes I was on "Download Mode".

This tool doesn't seems to work on 32bit OS. I'd just flashed my Redmi 3 last night exactly this way no problem

Managed to flash the ROM finally. Just install MiFlash as it is and I uninstalled the Qualcomm Driver that came seperately in the zip file.

I'm using MIUI V7.1.3.0.LHPCNCK with ROOT&Xposed (LB) for MiFlash http://en.miui.com/thread-236545-1-1.html

Very light and say goodbye to those rubbish ads and bloatwares. The only thing is that these kind of custom ROMs do not support OTA which means you have to manually download and flash these updates.

When you use this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-218644-1-1.html

I just install MiFlash by itself on Windows 10 (booted it with driver signature verification disabled). I did not install the Qualcomm Driver that came in the zip file. (Earlier I installed and it seems I have error when I tried to flash)

Sorry. Just read this. Great that you've successfully flash the rom. Yes, the trickiest part is to install the required driver correctly. Second trickiest is to get to boot option menu!

Both Win 7 and 10.

But now I know why. You guys who has the same problem as me should just put the ROM folder (after you extracted the zip) into the rood directory of your PC. Only then the MiFlash can actually find the ROM.

No, it's not a common mistake as this is the first time that folder placement (other then at the root) ever becoming an issue in my many years of flashing. More like a flashing tools shortcomings, if you ask me.

Btw, this is indeed my first time flashing (and owning) a Xiaomi phone.

Where did you get yours? I got mine from Directd and it was full of crapware. Did the flash for the latest version of MIUI + GApps (now with more free RAM) and has been a satisfied owner ever since.

I'd rather go for the current Redmi 3 simply because of the bigger battery. Trust me, you don't want to go for a 3000mAh battery once you had a taste of 4100mAh.

Exactly.

But the easiest way is to flash the latest Chinese MIUI that comes with GApps and prerooted (prepared by some good samaritans in the forum). That way you don't have to do anything other than flashing the phone.

Btw, I could give you the link if you like. But don't just download the ROM, do register as a member of the forum and say thanks to the good person. That's the least we can do.

Fresh from reboot, it would be 1.2GB. How is that sounds?

Don't take my word, you can even experience it yourself.

According to the guy, the ROM is a vanilla Chinese MIUI for Redmi 3 minus some purely Chinese apps, with added GApps + prerooted.

Sorry for that, maybe I wasn't made myself clear. It was a vanilla Chinese MIUI for Redmi 3. But the guy was kind enough to remove some purely Chinese apps and at the same time add the GApps and made it prerooted.

But smaller battery. 3000mAh vs 4100mAh. I'd rather go for a bigger battery any day of the week.

Owh...smaller battery. Didn't know about that. Maybe to keep price low sacrifice the battery.

The indicative price is actually higher by about RM100 based on the prevailing currency exchange rate.

This is one of the choices you have. But I took the one without Xposed.

Will share the link once I get home.

So what does xposed do. Does it affect my performance if i were to flash the one with xposed? I understand from my friend that xposed simply means more customization but I'm no android geek.

The one with xposed comes with more extensive flasing guide while the one without, don't. Note that this will be my first time doing flashing myself since my friend isn't able to help me. I should be able to comprehend the instructions correctly biggrin.gif

Yeah, I remembered that redmi 3 must use download mode., you can't use fastboot mode to flash rom you must use download mode. Don't panic it's normal to have black screen in download mode. If you still can't do it, refer to this guide

Crappy rom, and more users start learning how to flash.

For me, the important step is to ensure all driver are peoperly installed, be it 32bit or 64bit. Open device manager and check no device have ! mark. Disable windows driver signature verification is a good practice.

hmmm... have you try this:
- enter the boot menu (the one with fastboot, download, power off, etc)
- connect to pc, if there is driver installation, let it complete. verify at device manage, no ! mark
- tap on download, screen will be blank. check if windows detect any new device driver installation. let it complete. verify at device manager.

it happen to me (boot loop) and windows only detect new device when i enter download mode.

Help! Im using umobile network for my redmi 3. Whenever i go to some poor connection area, the network automatically changed to maxis 2g. But then after i go to other places which supposedly have good umobile coverage, the network is still in maxis 2g and not changing back to umobile 4g. So i need to manually select the network over and over again. What should i do?

nice sharing. Meanwhile, given the Mi4i 16GB @ 699 (possible to use voucher down to 599) more value than budget phone...

Also as for the adapter is 5V/5A, but I suspect is the cable, I still remember I use the Redmi 2 cable with 5V/5A adapter, the output current only 0.85A max. (I use current checker hardware, not the apps)

Slow Charging won't bad for health, but the heat does. Because the longer your battery charge, the longer your battery expose to the heat.
Heat and Cold will damage battery lifespan.

INOV has the added benefit of being able to dynamically adjust the charging voltage over the battery charging cycle. As a battery charges up, it slowly draws less and less current, which is partly why it takes longer to charge the last 20 percent than the first. Qualcomm states that its new technology allows the phone to request just enough voltage to reach the desired charge current, thereby maximising efficiency.

This is useful as it reduces the amount of energy wasted during charging. Previously, extra power not used to charge the battery would be lost as heat, warming up your phone and reducing the longevity of the battery. By exerting more control over charging efficiency, less power is wasted, resulting in less heat. Qualcomm states that version 3.0 is up to 38 percent more efficiency than 2.0, which is a substantial energy saving.

Energy efficiency is really the major new feature with Quick Charge 3.0, but this is still very important as cooler batteries will last longer than hot ones.

Qualcomm boasts that it can charge some devices up to 80 percent in just 35 minutes, but it’s very rare for the company to talk about total charge time, because it is simply less impressive. Power transfer in the latter stages of battery charging is much lower regardless of the charging tech used, hence why Quick Charge can boost your battery to 50 percent or more rather quickly, but will still take over an hour to fully charge your smartphone.

After more than a week of using redmi 3, as an average consumer here are some of my input:

-Battery life no doubt awesome
-Pixels on phone is not very obvious so definitely I won't mind 720p on 5" display
-Least heat up issue compared to Redmi Note 2 (I don't use phone while charging though)
-Waze performs better than Redmi Note 2
-Reception is rather disappointing (4G was more stable on Redmi Note 2)

Overall a very good budget phone for RM510 rclxms.gif

Mine usually average 3.5 hours charge from 10& or 15% to full charge 100%,i try charging from completely depleted charge it would take almost 4 hours...so i would assume its safe to say that normal charge it would take 3-4 hours,depend on battery level.

one thing that bothers me is that while charging,touch screen sensitivity always haywire,but after root n change rom to 7.1.3 its improve,at least not happen frequently.

Gps is very good,signal is ok,battery life is awesome but expected since its 4000mah capacity. Overall i'm satisfied with the phone,although since im early buyers i pay more at rm700,if i wait maybe can get cheaper like other forumer here at rm510,haha.

This is called ghost touch. It occur on quite some models of Xiaomi phone using Snapdragon processor. Usually they will came out updates that will fix this problem.

Is it because of quick charge?

That ghost touch issue seems to be with certain chargers? I used my old LG G2 5v/1.8A charger and there's no ghost touch while charging. I tried my Remax 4 point USB Charger and it does have ghost touch, same goes with my iPad's charger.

I'm not using the original charger because I don't have the adapter.

You can't lol. You can buy a current detector hardware charge from flat to 100% to calculate how many mAh left in the battery.

i'm using 7.1.2(LHPCNCK) MIUI by xiaomi.eu 7.1 stable
upon reading, this is related to location service (weather, waze)
hmmm... have you try this:
- enter the boot menu (the one with fastboot, download, power off, etc)
- connect to pc, if there is driver installation, let it complete. verify at device manage, no ! mark
- tap on download, screen will be blank. check if windows detect any new device driver installation. let it complete. verify at device manager.

it happen to me (boot loop) and windows only detect new device when i enter download mode.
*
I've verified that there are no more ! marks in device manager.
Plugging in when phone is in boot menu, device manager shows ADB interface; Plugging in when phone is in download mode, device manager shows QHSUSB_BULK.

Seems fine, but MiFlash just won't detect my phone. It still detects it when the phone is in fastboot mode though.

Oh thanks for your reply. So I assume it would be the same performance as Mi4i, it will burst, but it will feel sluggish. (eg. 1, shutter, 2, 3, 4, 5, shutter, 6, 7, 8, shutter, 9, 10) lol laugh.gif

Can you tell me how many Camera modes are in your default MIUI Camera?
I know the Redmi Note 2 have:
- Panorama
- Timer
- Refocus
- Manual
- Straighten
- Beautify
- HHT
- Scene mode
- Tilt-shift
- Fish Eye


Which one of above that Redmi 3 have or missing. hmm.gif

Well I'm set to join this gang by next week if only this one seller here ever reply to my pm or Whatsapp. Quite irritating really since he/she could at least confirm availability or not. So push comes to shove maybe I'll just drop by DirectD this Saturday. Any hints/tips on the sales package that I should look out for? P.S anyone here looking to sell theirs are welcome to discuss via pm.

Got my unit from lazada.

Seems like the merchant used MIUI global stable 7.1.1.0.0 in my phone as it had playstore installed already.

Anyone with this as well?

Is not China ROM or Global ROM, is Vendor ROM.

China ROM = Official MIUI ROM for China
Global ROM = Official MIUI ROM for Global
Vendor ROM = Modified of Official MIUI ROM for China but with Bloatware from Vendor and Gapps (Google Apps) installed

Yup, it is a custom vendor ROM. will look to reflash to a less bloated ROM eventually. but overall still impressed with the phone. good value for money.

I believe it's all been answered by zher already wink.gif there are only 7 camera modes compared to 10 on m4i. Burst mode max 20 photos. It was quick but quality was meh nod.gif

On a side note, I charged my phone with my laptop for 3 hours today and it's already almost full.

Noob question here. I bought this Redmi 3 at DirectD. Can DirectD detect whether the phone has been rooted or not, if one day I really root this phone? I kind of dissatify with all the bloatware and thinking about rooting this phone. But I don't have the stock firmware as well. Afraid if they can detect the root status, it will void the 2-year warranty. Anyone can explain?

p/s: anyone want to suggest any good custom ROM for this phone?

There's no way they can tell this device is rooted or not provided you are able to restore to it's original state

Noob question here. I bought this Redmi 3 at DirectD. Can DirectD detect whether the phone has been rooted or not, if one day I really root this phone? I kind of dissatify with all the bloatware and thinking about rooting this phone. But I don't have the stock firmware as well. Afraid if they can detect the root status, it will void the 2-year warranty. Anyone can explain?

p/s: anyone want to suggest any good custom ROM for this phone?

Care to share the details? does it really fit the phone? Is it available locally?

I heard that Directd has a Loca Flip Casing for Redmi 3 but I wonder if it fit the phone well.

Well when I got the phone yesterday the only 2 available options (just by colors, same brand) were to put it mildly crappy as heck. The cutouts aren't even smooth.

What brand was it?

I heard that Directd has Loca Flip Case for Redmi 3. Wonder if it is a 100% fit or just a piss poor manufacturing job.

Well that's the worst part bro. Some no name POS in a blank plastic that's it. Only price tagged. Might wanna give it some more time at least other than Loca to pop up. In the mean time I'd settle for just a proper fitting transparent soft case if I can actually find any.

Not all lah. Just sayin' so that you might wanna hold on for more choices. No need to drive lol if the pics can't convince you yet. Or maybe our peers here can follow up with their hands on reviews soon.

Just did via MiFlash and not really because I want it but because mine was on .eu stable rom so problematic later on if I don't at least flash the China stable before flashing over yet again the dev rom for unlocking bootloader.

No you don't need to root before flashing the 1st ROM as it uses MiFlash(like odin). But for the second ROM, you need root, hence that is why I suggest flashing the 1st ROM and then the second one smile.gif

RM300 or less. Several states are selling it already. 1GB RAM + 8GB ROM and the MT6580 embedded have better Antutu benchmark scores of 23K or more than the previous two or three phones from Leagoo or Redmi series.

Seriously I'd only touch anything Mediatek which is Helio upwards but only if I have to thus why this Redmi 3 is a far better bet. Rather add RM100+ to that and get a proper Redmi 2 Enhanced instead if it was me.

I'm on a budget so my impression is to hold on to these first. It's good for daily use. Unless you guys are fond on gaming performance. Sure, Redmi 3 / Redmi Note 3 is a better choice. We need to know the price as soon as it announced on the 29th.

Still, the phone overall I mentioned is better than Redmi 1S / Redmi 2 in the past so it's still a pretty good entry to 2016.

Pro (or so we thought maybe it was Enhanced or Prime) is to be expected obviously. Knew this full well before having made this purchase so no early buyer's remorse for me. All things considered if people are willing to wait and spend a bit higher then by all means.

Back to our ido talk though I've just flashed 7.2.6.0 cn stable over and suspect that 6.3.25 dev build has better batt power optimization.

How did you install the GApps after the upgrade? Would like to know the proven method with this 7.2.6.0 ROM from the person (like you) who actually did it.

Btw, compared to 7.1.3.0, how do you find the battery consumption of the two version of ROM.

True...just got Celcom burung hantu... max download speed only around 5mbps while U-Mobile H+ manage to tops up to 10-15mbps. Sad their night data cap already to 500mb quota so change to burung hantu which for now seems really unlimited.

By the way

How did you install the GApps after the upgrade? Would like to know the proven method with this 7.2.6.0 ROM from the person (like you) who actually did it.

Btw, compared to 7.1.3.0, how do you find the battery consumption of the two version of ROM.

Thanks you in advance.

So the GApps installer is actually works even with the latest 7.2.6.0? Thanks for the input.

If it's noticeable then I think I might just have to stick with my 7.1.3.0 a little bit longer. Thanks again for the valuable info.

RN3 version with QC 650 would obviously perform better as it has Cortex-A72 and superior manufacturing process to boot.

However I have no problem in term of performance with my Redmi 3 albeit it is running on a lesser potent version of the QC SoC, as long as we keep our expection in check. Besides, it only has an HD screen.

I'm on a budget so my impression is to hold on to these first. It's good for daily use. Unless you guys are fond on gaming performance. Sure, Redmi 3 / Redmi Note 3 is a better choice. We need to know the price as soon as it announced on the 29th.

Still, the phone overall I mentioned is better than Redmi 1S / Redmi 2 in the past so it's still a pretty good entry to 2016.

It doesn't look better than the specs of Redmi 1s or 2
https://www.facebook.com/allcallMY/
From the facebook specs for HOT1, HOT2 the specs are lower than Redmi 1s. The resolution is alot lower (FWVGA/QHD vs 720p hd), battery is smaller (1400-1600 vs 2000mah) and probably not removable, no 4G.

You have said the drawback and the price of RM300. It doesnt consume lots of mAh as compared to Xiaomi. You can buy it as extra. But let's stick to the Redmi 3 or else people "assumed" things too easily. I'm a big fan of budget and steady smartphones.

Here, let me tell you since you never used.

1. It's a good phone with MTK6580 for gaming and up to certain 3D games like Hearthstone or racing titles
2. It has low mAh but enough to use for calling (WhatsApp , WeChat) and charging is within 3 hours time for 100%
3. Resolution is low so as camera but most apps are working smooth
4. Antutu gave it 23000+ and is higher than Zenfone 6 , Redmi 1S and etc
5. Only 3G and no 4G capability so far
6. Premium looking phone (equivalent to RM1000 range)
7. Good for daily usage!
8. Best suited for secondary backup phone or temporary main user

I'm a former Redmi 1S to Redmi Note 3G user. I'm actually helping the company for free promoting. I do recommend Redmi 3 but it's not yet out on Malaysia. And here's an advise, do not assume things online. That's all from me.

People didn't "assume" things. You said Allcall phones were better than Redmi1s/2 which is false and are basically now admitting that the specs are lower.
I don't put alot of weigh onto Antutu scores nowadays since phone companies are aggressively rigging those benchmarks to make their phones look better.

Mediatek's gps is still problematic with the newer 67xx chipsets and I agree with the previous poster who said that only the Helio's are worth considering.

Just chill, man. I admitted because the specs are still really not that low as compared thoroughly and with Antutu, you can see there's something good about it's price range be it rigged or not. Since you say that Helio's are worth, then surely the price is over RM600 as usual. It's already my 4th day using it and I think it suits a lot of people who are in for very tight budget or backup smartphone with all the daily usage fulfilled.

Redmi 1S heats up faster than Allcall phone. This is something I can say for and because the MTK chipset used is somewhat newer. Advantage wise, you can see it.

You started and continued the off topic comments about Allcall so why are you asking others to "chill"? All you had to do was admit that your comments were incorrect and keep quiet.

And there are other features in the Redmi1s which are probably better or missing on the Allcall phones like better quality camera sensor, USB host capability, better custom ROM support (Qualcomm generally better than Mediatek) and a gps which actually works well unlike many Mediatek chipsets.

And for a "Malaysian" phone, it looks like some relabeled Chinese phone with very poor support.

I have sent you the website. It's made from China. No matter what, I still support Xiaomi product and I'm already a former user of 1S so you don't have to repeat it. I'm saying it based on first impression and test tries and I always see alternative for people. It doesn't mean you will forever reply just in a "Redmi" based discussion thread right?

You can keep your argument to some public viewer. I'll be replying to others instead to "some" of you.





For those wanting Redmi 3, I checked that they only release Redmi Note 3 instead of the Redmi 1S / 2 category so far. So don't put your hopes high as I contacted the website recently.

hi guys. recently i lost my phone and meanwhile waiting for the funds to be available for a new phone that i have in mind, i went on to purchase a redmi 3 LTE AP set from directd.

since the day i bought it seems to have some issue. firstly, it lags. seriously, it lags. i tried to factory reset and it is still the same but sometimes it is fine. what bothers me is that whenever i open any application like fb, whatsapp or browser, hell even charging the phone, there are ads that pop up. i wonder how is this possible.

i really need a solution for this and i was wondering is there anyone that can guide me to root and load any kind of custom rom that might be helpful or any other solution. icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

as other forumer mentioned, you must have got the tempered rom. you will need to flash the official rom (or custom rom if you want). if you are a normal consumer, this will be a little bit of hard work. if you are willing to take time and learn, this will be interesting.

i refer to these 2 forum, you might need to register to gain full access:

This is the thread for Redmi 3 with 5" screen thus without the "Note" in the name.

Perhaps you could ask those in the Redmi Note 3 thread instead.

as other forumer mentioned, you must have got the tempered rom. you will need to flash the official rom (or custom rom if you want). if you are a normal consumer, this will be a little bit of hard work. if you are willing to take time and learn, this will be interesting.

i refer to these 2 forum, you might need to register to gain full access:
http://en.miui.com/forum-90-1.html
http://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/xiaomi-redmi-3.139/

for starter, you might want to read this on how to flash a rom
http://en.miui.com/thread-218644-1-1.html

good luck!

just a quick question, to flash a rom i must first root it right?
what is the best way to root it? without getting it bricked or anything?
i have tried googling but still cnt seem to und which one to choose. cnt afford to have any mishap ifnot i will be lost. lol.

Flashing is similar to formatting. So root would be pointless as that will get wiped as well.
1. Preparation
a~ Make sure your PC is running on an x86-64 = 64 bit OS w/e Win 7, 8, 8.1 or 10. This is crucial.

b~ Read this 1st. We'll get back to it.

c~ Now go to this link, yes 1st download that .exe file in Step 1 it's the installer for MiFlash and then scroll all the way down until you can see "Redmi 3 Latest China Developer Version Fastboot File Download" and click that. Let these finish.

d~ While you're at it, begin backup take out your micro SD + SIM reinsert the flap and move w/e data gf pics etc to your PC.

e~ now when the downloads are done, go to c:\ create a new folder keep it simple name it to ayam. Extract the fastboot file from .tgz -> .tar and then again until it's a folder. Go into this folder select all then cut and go back to c:\ayam then paste.

f~ remember step 1b above? yes follow that link, read, do and install MiFlash after you rebooted into the disabled driver sig verification environ. Make sure that you right click run as administrator on the .exe and when you see the warning dialogs just ignore and select install this driver anyway.Continue installation until it's finished. Done and reboot.

2. Flashing
a~ Turn phone off, press Vol Up + Power hold until it boots to a weird looking recovery. Select tap on Download. Then it'll be blank screen don't panic that's just how it is. Put the phone aside for a bit.

b~ By now MiFlash should be available on your Start screen so right click on the shortcut run as admin.

c~ Connect phone via USB cable once MiFlash is launched and double check by clicking on Refresh button. If it shows a COM10 entry below then it's good.

d~ now click on Browse button locate c:\ayam

e~ then click on Flash

f~ IF it's successful congratulations now can proceed to step 3

3. PM me so that you can transfer my coffee fund laters
Good luck...

This is the one i saw as well. Only contact sync works for this app btw. Others i alrwady installed for now. So all works fine. Only issue is tht even if i choose for the apps feom play store to be downloaded from my data it still waits for wifi. But it is a small issue la major ones already settle.

I was very interested to buy, but thank goodness I didn't (want to save money first). Now there's report that Redmi 3 Pro might be coming out soon. Add fingerprint scanner (don't really care for it) and higher base storage of 32gb (Yay!!)

Hopefully it will be launched in Malaysia like the Redmi Note 3 Pro.

Uh since nobody's replying to you, ill try smile.gif I sold my Redmi note 2 already by the way. Having Redmi 3 as my main phone currently.

Redmi note 2 over redmi 3
Display is more superior as it is 1080p rather than 720p
Screen size is bigger
Overheats easily, gets warm with light usage unless you're in aircond room
Overheats more when charging
Less battery life (SOT was about 4-5hours)

Redmi 3 over redmi note 2
Smaller and better grip as well
Battery life superior (8-9 hours SOT)
GPS positions faster
Charging time is longer

No comment on the camera

These are all that I could think of for now

Hello all, got myself a redmi 3 as backup phone. Playing around with it a night and I must say, this phone really go back to the old days of what a phone should be - loud speaker, long battery life, simple and intuitive ui (no separate volume control for ringtone notification system, one button control all, yay!), easy to hold due to small and slim, and most of all its an android. Heck even the headphone output is solid for such price!

Right beside Samsung s7e of course it's inferior in every way (except battery lol), but I feel s7e is more like a entertainment device with phone function, while R3 more like a phone with entertainment function. With such cheap price, I'm not sure I want to put a case on it as I really not worried to use it and throw it around. I can see why this phone can be a main phone a phone for some! As crazy as it sound, I have a feeling that I might just sell off my s7e and use this as my main. I have a very good compact camera for travelling, R3 camera is actually good enough for utility purpose.

By the way, I flashed the rom to stock China rom 7.1.3 stable and I find installing Google installer app and play store is still not very a smooth experience. Certain app in play store like chrome said not compatible with this device. Guess better to flash the eu version?

I managed to uninstall as much bloatware as possible and will see if the bloatware consume the resources. I understand chinese so I'm not against mi store and stuffs, I think it's great that some of the china based app is more useful than those in play store. hmm.gif

Meanwhile, it's weird that suddenly I'm able to install chrome and stuffs that wasn't able to do so earlier. Must be some updates in the background lol.

I managed to uninstall as much bloatware as possible and will see if the bloatware consume the resources. I understand chinese so I'm not against mi store and stuffs, I think it's great that some of the china based app is more useful than those in play store. hmm.gif

Meanwhile, it's weird that suddenly I'm able to install chrome and stuffs that wasn't able to do so earlier. Must be some updates in the background lol.

After first installation of Google Play Store, it will update automatically. Some apps requires newer version of Google Play Store and hence this problem.

Lol I didnt know play store will update itself. Good to hear that.

Currently without using a sim card I'm getting average 10% per hour of sot. I'm expecting some 8 hours of sot achievable with this little wonder if start to use a sim card. biggrin.gif

Go to Play Store. Settings. Scroll to bottom and tap on the PlayStore version. It will show whether your PlayStore is up to date or not.

Directd, although greenfone cheaper by RM10. I went to directd due to their operating hour, any service can go late as their closing time is 11pm. icon_idea.gif


REVIEW ADD ON:
MIUI - 2GB RAM not enough? Nope, been using it since yesterday and I didn't feel the 2GB lacking. I'm not a heavy user though, but browsing and everyday use I didn't miss much coming from Samsung S6/S7. It's such a lightweight system and offering many many functions that's unexpectedly useful. One function I really love - on lock screen, hold the home button you'll launch the torchlight app, and the LED is quite a bright one despite being single LED!

Display - Well this is the part that I feel I get what I paid for. It isn't too bright under direct sunlight use although I can still read what's on the screen. But the white point is on the greenish side, and colours are washed out (coming from iPad IPS and samsung AMOLED). Perhaps I'll download some display calibrate apps to enhance this.

Camera - Another part where I got what I paid for, but it takes surprisingly good (but not great) pictures during daylight, and HDR works wonderfully. Night time...forget it lol! But still serve well as a utility tools.

Audio quality - I just experienced something really weird. I was searching for best music player, and upon googling most people recommend Poweramp. So I thought I should be getting better sound quality compared to the stock MIUI music player, to my surprise, stock player sound much better compared to Poweramp! Yes, it doesn't load album art properly, and library sorting is horrible, but the sound, wow! Punchy and solid, with wide soundstage (can hear things going on clearly in surround), while Poweramp sounded weaker with narrower soundstage. Gosh xiaomi really make good stock apps!

Battery - On my first full charge, 2nd day of use since yesterday 9am, and it's 7 hours of SOT currently and I have 15% left. I mainly use it for web browsing and social apps, but I also install and uninstall quite a few apps and played music for a good 2+ hours since yesterday. I suspect it can do much better as I installed a music player AIMP since yesterday and experience bad battery drain like 1-2% drain per hour on standby (mobile data) without doing anything, only unintall it in the afternoon just now. Uninstalling it seems to slow down the drain. But still, ayam impressed. thumbup.gif

Wifi normal, good solid 19mbps down/up, unifi, my package was the old 20mbps but dunno they upgrade it or not, but it's the same as my other devices including my macbook air 2011.

Notification bar but read mode but no night mode. What does night mode do anyway?

EDIT: Saw someone posted photo taken with RN3 camera at RN3 thread, RN3 takes better photo I must say. 32GB/3GB/fingerprint/1080p seems like a better buy than the R3 though. But I still love the 5 incher, feel very nice and secure in my hand. biggrin.gif

You don't need that, cause under manual brightness setting, when slide to minimum brightness it's so dim that even in pitch dark room also can't read properly. laugh.gif

It's a "everything done right but very boring" phone. For RM5xx I can really throw it around without worrying a single bit, just slap on tempered glass SP and I'm good to go, no case. And so far it still look pristine despite bumped into door and stuff few times. laugh.gif

I don't know about you, and how much this phone meant to you. To me, I use it naked with just tempered glass SP lol. With such low price I really don't mind throwing it around. It seems well built though and doesn't pickup scratches and dents so easily. I'm not worried a single bit.

Use high end phone, screen crack replace RM800+, this one screen crack buy a new one also not as expensive. laugh.gif

I bought it just 2 days ago lol, and didn't plan to use a case although I bought one just in case since it's only RM10.

Nope, not official yet. Probably they'll make it official when the pro version come out...With the 3GB/32GB/Fingerprint just like the Redmi Note 3 pro. hmm.gif

Good question... if they plan to time a simultaneous release with the 3 Pro I'm guessing a couple more months at least. They're gaming the Note 3 wave right now so it's anybody's guess.

I'm on china official rom and mi store nagging me to update to latest version (7.2.7), so I don't think you need to worry? biggrin.gif

As a matter of fact, I read about Redmi Note 3 forum at MIUI forum, china rom team seems to be more hardworking with updates where global rom team slack and slow with updates.

By the way, read about 7.2.x onwards battery life not as good, so I'm staying on 7.1.3 at the moment. No problem with the rom whatsoever, no hang no reboot, and has all the function I need. In comparison, my samsung s7e hang and reboot few times throughout 2 weeks of use. blink.gif

I went to search for the Google installer and once done you can use it to install all the Google services and play store. The important thing toinstall is actually the Google frame work thingy and Google service.

I even read about mi store can actually search for Google installer but I didnt bother and straightgo search internet for the APK instead. biggrin.gif

7.2 onwards Antutu benchmark score increase by 20-30%. 7.1 is not as smooth as 7.2 so basically you trade battery life for performance

You can follow this guide first, flashing ROM without using PC:

http://en.miui.com/download-298.html

If it's not able to flash for whatever reason which is what happened to mine, where the software doesn't recognise the ROM file, use this manual flash guide. Do click the link to go to youtube website, cause the video description contain all the necessary download.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffytnVrBc9E

The video didn't show the most vital step though. First have to install Mi PCsuite, as it'll install USB driver, or else your PC cannot detect your phone. Another problem is you MUST use 64bit windows (according to guide on MIUI forum) though, or else will give you "not enough memory" problem, happened to mine, and it soft bricked my phone. You can try use 32bit windows to do it, if really flash unsuccessful, don't panic, just unplug the USB cable, press and hold power button, your phone will restart and enter boot loop (keep restart but won't get past MI logo), hold the volume up+down and you'll see the phone stop boot loop and looked like it's shutdown (but it's actually entering download mode again), connect USB, flash again.

- can expand storage via microsd

mi4c
- better processor
- reversible usb type c
- better screen resolution

Depends what you want. You might be disappointed with the camera and gaming experience. Otherwise, the battery alone can be the sole reason to get this phone. I'm now 3hr sot (chrome and FB and WhatsApp) and my battery 76%, unplugged 9am this morning. brows.gif

Dunno how to describe my feeling towards the battery life. Totally amazed, I feel like I'm using iPad level of battery life. Browsing, FB, WhatsApp, some music and YouTube. When watching YouTube even 720p will only eat up 1% battery every 6mins. And I don't dim my display, left it at auto brightness slider right at the middle. Never off WiFi and GPS, too lazy to toggle them on and off.

It's not a performance car, rather like a small boring car that you get you to wherever you want to go, with extreme fuel efficiency, and dependable reliability. No crash or restarts so far. Very happy with it. rclxms.gif

Stock china ROM 7 .1.3 stable. Nope phone not shut down but somehow it just displayed that way... hmm.gif

Also I don't use any battery profile, just lock screen put away and sleep. Overnight it lose about 2-3 percent. If I don't install Facebook and messenger I probably get better standby. biggrin.gif

To those who bought this phone from local seller, strongly recommend you to flash the phone with official ROM.

The phone from local seller (unofficial), the Rom is tampered causing the rom to be bloated with ads and bloatwares. The battery is better thou surprisingly

Go buy from directd or greenfone, RM550~560 biggrin.gif

Downside is you definitely need to flash the ROM to official one, and need to know how.

if you purchase any phone from any local seller, you are most likely to get phone with forked rom. Forked rom comes with play store preinstalled while original doesn't
Revert back to original rom will solve this. Install play store manually is not difficult afterall

That image looked creepy...

If yours is imported unit probably come with ROM that's tempered with, and not safe to use where your personal info might be accessed easily by hackers.

If yours is local warranty unit (cause you posted at redmi note 3 thread so I assumed you have note 3 instead of redmi 3), then some nasty app is causing this.

Yup it's when I need the best image quality I'll be carrying my Sony RX1R. brows.gif

Funny enough, I'm not concerned about noise, so they looked fine to me. I rather have good colour and white balance than good noise control. Used to use some camera phone that didnt produce satisfying colour and white balance and every picture looked dull, albeit with a lot less noise and higher resolution. Very frustrated really.

Hello guys. Just got Redmi 3. I've rooted using Kingroot and then installed backups from old phone using Titanium Backup. Almost everything works fine except that I cannot open Phone, Messaging and Contacts app. All three will force closed every time I open them.

Any suggestions?

Try going into each' app settings, clear data then reboot (doubt that this will work 50-50 but try 1st). You rooted with KingRoot? On stock or vendor ROM?

Not economical because it being sold over 1000CNY in China and by the time stock arrives in Malaysia, the price will drop again which makes importer make a lost. Second, even if they do, it will be sold quite expensive due to scarcity of the phone and most of the consumer wouldn't buy it. If you really want it buy it directly from China.
