Yes please wait a week or two just to disapoint yourself because you can't get hold of a unit

Sorry hijacking, is the official launch coming soon next week or 2?

First flash sales start in April

Explorer here. I got the phone one week ago from Xiaomi Malaysia.

I got the Snapdragon 650 variant @ 32gb storage & 3gb ram.

Loved the battery, 4,050mAh. Easily last for 1 day with screen time of 5 hours plus. I don't use it for games though, I am more to camera, Web browsing, email, social media and music.

Beautiful full HD1080 IPS LCD screen and with aluminium body, it's great! I am using a gold colour and the matte finish feels good! Not finger prints magnet though.

Just for you know, this is the first xiaomi phone with full aluminium body and the finger print sensor. For me, the finger print sensor is at the sweetest spot. I can unlock the phone while holding it without having another hand. It unlocks pretty much less than a second and supports up 5 fingers. Did 2 of mine and 1 for my wife.

The camera produce relatively good photos in a daylight setting. It struggles in lowlight though. Alas, at the price you are paying, this is good.

I can't comment much about the overheat because of my experience has been good so far. The only time I notice heat from the back of the phone when I was taking outdoor photos. It was in the afternoon under the hot sun.. so, it could be from the weather itself? I am not sure. It wasn't bad that it didn't bother me at all, the weather did though!

The video, comes with slow motion and time lapse function. The slow motion is pretty impressive if you ask me. Slow motion up to 120fps, awesome ain't it? The thing is, you can only do slow motion at 720p. Even with 720p, the quality is still reasonably good! I was amazed by the quality.

The phone has a hybrid sim; 1 main micro sim and another exchangeable nano sim or micro sd up to 128gB. Good for those who loves to download or store stuff on their phones.

I will be writing my review soon, I will post it somewhere here! Thanks.

AP set? Worry bout warranty though.

I am one of the 15 explorers who received the phone for reviews

Yup, running MIUI 7 Global 6.3.18 | Beta. So far 5 hours of screen and 1 day plus on battery without battery sver mode.

To be honest, I was a little bit skeptical at first but after experiencing the battery life, I must say that I am impressed. I am not a heavy gamer though I do play some games; subway surfer kind of genre. I am more on business side if that matters; emails, phone calls, message, web surfing, navigation, ebooks and music.

Thanks for the review. May I know about the charging duration and GPS lock on speed?

Hi.

Mind to share a screenshots of the GPS too? Use the apps GPS Test and see able to lock how many satelite.

does our MT version have slow mo feature ??? tried taking some videos but couldnt find it..

got... used it few times already

that is what i worried about... but i'm skeptical on Redmi Note3 Pro cos of the firmware update slow...
got some bad experience on Mi3... and sometimes thinking why MIUI sucks too much RAM...

but overall Mi products quality is ok... not much complaint...

5 hrs OST is just ok ok for me with the 4000mAH... try gaming then we will know result...
what is the brightness settings???? Medium or Auto???

Guys, how was the burst shooting on this Note 3 (MTK) and your Lucius <3 Note 3 (Qualcomm)?
Is it very sluggish like the one we tried on the Mi4i. The Mi4i burst shooting is so sluggish/shutter.

Got 1 Redmi Note 1 (MTK) waiting for ages to OTA to Lollipop. Only got Lollipop 2-3 months ago where everybody is waiting for Marshmallow already.

But if you like to flash ROM, Mi is a good option also.

agree with you... but the flagship is already on Android v6.0... so maybe getting Mi5 instead of this...

Is Mi Marshmallow official already or just developer ROM?
