As a fan of Redmi 1S to Redmi Note 3G before, I waited too long for this. Might recommend you guys check up on Allcall Malaysia brand that's going to start promoting soon! Early bird to use and it's a pretty competitive brand as well.

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.

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.

Ever wonder how Xiaomi can make profit even though selling at lower price? They implant ads in the official ROM. Also, we have to grant permissions to their built-in in-house tools like camera, calendar, contacts, etc in order for them to "capture" what u like everyday. However, we are just ordinary ppl who has no significant value to their "investors".

They are now locking the bootloader out of the box to "discourage" rooting. With root access,  users can disable their hidden "services".
