Hi, I'm new this XiaoMi Phone.
I read thru and check on this RN3 until very confused 
I got something need to clarify before place a order:

i) What is the different RN3 Pro vs RN3? Is Pro version only 5" screen with 1280x720?
Some online shop saying is 5.5" with 1920x1080... really confused.

RN3 Pro and RN3 is same size 5.5" with 1920x1080.
Redmi 3/3 Pro size 5"
RN3 Pro Snapdragon Chipset.
RN3 Mediatek Chipset.

ii) What is the full spec for 32GB that selling in Mi Malaysia website, is below spec?
Aluminum body
5.5-inch, 1920x1080 IPS LCD
Qualcomm Snapdragon 650; 2x 1.8GHz Cortex-A72 + 4x 1.2GHz Cortex-A53; Adreno 510
3GB RAM with 32GB storage; microSD support
Dual SIM, LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.1, IR, microUSB
16 megapixel rear camera with PDAF, f2.0 aperture, dual LED flash
5 megapixel front camera, f2.0 aperture
Fingerprint sensor
4050mAh battery
Android 5.1.1 with MIUI 7

Yes. the spec same with what you state there.
different between 16GB and 32GB in only their RAM which is 2GB and 3GB

iii) Where should I buy from for cheaper price?
GemFive/11street/Lazada? Which seller is most reliable?

if you can get nice discount code, for sure gemfive is cheaper.
lazada also got discount code but gemfive code give more discount.
Gtronic = SatuGadget
AZMMOBILE = Greenfone
Mobile Solution = Flexx Mobile dot com (Johor Baru)


iv) Those online shopping website selling cheaper because is IMPORTED set? Other than warranty, any different in term of spec, screen size, GPU, Google Store...etc?

Usually the cheaper one is imported set and they state whether it is import or local.
The different between Imported set and original.
-AP set warranty with shop and Original which is local set comes with xiaomi malaysia warranty.
-ROM (usually AP set comes with china rom and not sure got playstore or not and many bloatware iinm and local set with global stable rom and comes with playstore. AP set can be flash with global stable rom.)
-Spec all same nothing change. same phone.

v) Buy from Mi Malaysia or Thorus (from Penang)? They sell same price for 32GB/3GB RAM RM849?

buy from mi malaysia or thorus same price and still local set.
just buy from which one easier for you.

Really hope got experts here to share their opinions / experiences / comment to me.... really appreciate 

mi account needed if u want to unlock your bootloader tho

Just bought my RedMi Note 3 32gb 3gb ram from Satu gadget, Love it so far it has been very smooth.

When i first got it it is 41% and now it is 27%, should I wait until 0% then I start to charge until full?

And also how do I add japanese and chinese keyboard? i was an Apple User and I just went to setting and I can add it instantly. Do I have to download Chinese and Japanese keyboard from app store?

Thanks for your quick reply.

For Import set (china ROM), is easy to flash with Global ROM?
Need to root first before can flash?

After flash to Global ROM, is there any pop-up ads or any annoying thing behind?

It's never difficult to flash a Xiaomi phone. If anyone tells you you need to root to flash ROM, they're telling a lie.

China Stable ROM never had popout adds but only Vendor ROM does.

I see. How we know is come with Vendor ROM or China Stable ROM?

When the version number not in the form of VX.X.X.X
Each X represent a number like V7.1.7.0

Charge whenever you can  is better.

I use SwiftKey which is included.  Then I download bahasa Melayu and Japanese.  SwiftKey easy to switch between language and can add number on top. Nice typing by swiping.  Can change size etc.

Thanks for the tips.
But if I buy online from Lazada/Gem5, how do I know the version of this?
I don't think seller post it clearly... 

You would only know when you receive the phone.

How do you download bahasa Melayu and Japanese for swiftkey?

i saw some compared AP set and found out that the LCD is different from others n MY set. does it have any significant effect?

my first charge of redmi note 3, I started charging from 5.30pm today (27% at that time), until now 9.30pm it is only 83%. It has been 4 hours but not even charge by 60%. Is it normal? Is the first charging so slow or is it my phone only?
