    Just bought this phone yesterday. Here are my initial impressions

    1. Very hard to remove back cover, mine was damaged because i need to use some tools just to open the damn cover. You need a long fingernail.

    2. Very smooth performance (mine is the 2ghz 2gb ram 32gb version)

    3. Multi tasking is a breeze compared to my lenovo p780

    4. Battery life is poor if you use this for web browsing. I transfered 2gb files from my other phone via superbeam and it consumes 15% of the battery!! Can't blame it its just a day old and still needs initial charging.

    5. Screen is excellent and a pleasure to look at.

    6. Design is really good

    7. You can move apps to sd but not all. the .obb files can't be move to external sd card which is a bummer for those who bought 8 and 16 gb version.

    i bought this phone for only $5700 here in taiwan and its nothing to complain about.

                                k, 16 Jul 2014Xiomi Mi3 and Huawei honor3c are also good in the same price range.do not compare xiaomi mi3 with any budget phone.

                                to people who are not aware of xiaomi mi 3
                                i want to tell you that the only phone u can compare with xiaomi mi3 in specifications is the google nexus 5. some people here might be like "he is a fool" or "is this guy out of his mind" . but believe me
                                try comparing google nexus 5 and xiaomi mi3
                                be it snapdragon 800c or adreno 330 or the big list of sensors or the 2.3ghz or 441ppi ips display screen

                                believe me xiaomi mi3 is actually better in specification than google nexus. if u run a benchmark test it scores AMAZING.
                                almost every specification on nexus 5 is present on xiaomi mi 3 however in following features it beats google nexus:

                                nexus battery is around 2300mah whereas mi3 has 3200 mah
                                the thickness of nexus is 8.6mm
                                mi3 is just 8.1 mm


                                nexus 5 costs u around 30000 (not sure)
                                mi3 is mere rs 14000

                                and just look at mi3's pictures on gooogle
                                if u wud go nuts for the looks.


                                yes, i know xiaomi is yet to establish itself as a global brand, but comparing xiaomi n gionee is like comparing harley cruisers with Indian Bajaj Avenger cruiser bike. Xiaomi is no.1 Chinese Mobile Brand and Gionee is like Lava n Karbonn of China, if u know what i Mean.

                                Believe me Friend Mi3 is a hell of a mobile Phone. i wish i had 14k then i would have gone for Mi3 instaed of asus Zenfone 5, which is again a great mobile phone too. :)
