Well, let me share my personal thought regarding this phone. But first, let me tell you my expectation.
Knowing a lot of my friend is buying this phone, I'm thinking like "Why everyone is so crazy bout this?". Many people sharing photo and the page of Xiao Mi. So I started to look into it since my iphone4 started to be so slow and lagging all the time. I've already thought of buying S5 at that time. But since everyone said that this mi3 is using the faster android. (I don't really care)
What I'm looking for cheap smartphone but I don't want a lousy smartphone or outdated smartphone.
Yes, I'm very picky. Even when I decided to buy Mi3, Mi4 is out then XiaoMi page stop selling Mi3. Pretty upset. However, back to my expectation.
They said resolution is good, browse fast, reliable, able to transfer data from iPhone/samsung phone. So no worry if you have to re-set everything.
After buying, what I experienced is that the speed of browsing is awesome. Really good price (although my family bought it for my birthday).
Problem occurred:
Whatsapp. You can't send voice message. This is dumb. No worry, you still can use WeChat. Feel sorry for you if you don't have WeChat account. In fact, it often having error and stop working. Including GooglePlay.
Battery life. Not that good. Not much different compare to my iphone4. With 3G turned on 24/7 with games played (less than an hour), your batter decreased 70%.
Camera and video. Photo taken is not that clear although the resolution is pretty high. Check out the photo below.

Screenshot. I don't really like it as it is difficult to do it. Pressing lock button + lower volume button for few seconds until you see a shutter. Both button in the right. It's not really convenient when taking screenshot during Skype. See for yourself...
I accidentally pressed lower volume first so this came out. I failed so many times because it happens all the time when I screenshot. There is a shortcut by pulling your notification bar and just tap on the "screenshot" BUT, you could not do it when you're skyping. This is ridiculous. In fact, waiting few seconds is dumb. I thought it would give me a direct screenshot instead of waiting.
I was supposed to upload photo of me and enric skyping in Facebook but because of the settings, it spoiled everything.
However, it's still android. Up to you if you still wanna buy. I don't really mind. I still love my phone anyway.
