Just a suggestion, if you really love listening to music, buy Xiaomi Piston earphones. They are REALLY AMAZING!

This is a great phone with good specifications for the price point in India. OS is updated weekly also. Much more affordable than S5 or G3!!

I didn't see anything on their website. Unlike Motorola who released a list of centers at the time of selling Moto G
So any information on that would be very useful

AnonD-274516, 09 Jul 2014Thank you so much. You've made it alot more easier to all o... moreOut of the Box you get only 12~13 GB out of 16GB. Even then once you reach 90% of that i.e. once you have consumed 11GB, the system won't allow you to install any more apps/games (you can store files such as music, video, any other files, though).
It's not enough for me as I usually need 15~20GB for all my songs and 2-3 HD games and 1-2 movies. I already had a 32GB Micro SD Card, bought a Micro SD Card reader and OTG cable (total for 100 INR).
Now, I use Phone's 16Gb strictly for Apps/Games installation and keep movies, music in that Card and plug it as and when i need. :)

And is that space enough for you? How're you managing it?

AnonD-274516, 08 Jul 2014Yeah. I've heard plenty much about the spec-wise pro's.
I'... moreTo reply your query in 1 go:
I got a N5 16GB for my colleague from Singapore for USD 390. And, I got MI3 16GB for MYSELF for USD 265 and have been using it for almost a month now.
I had been using Defy+ earlier and had to be careful with NOT installing too many or heavy apps. So, tried that with MI3 too but MI3 is so much more powerful, now i have NFS-MW and REAL RACING 3 and 60 OTHER APPS installed on it. And, it hasn't slowed down a single %. It is totally real but only if you but it through OFFICIAL XIAOMI channels. DON'T look for it elsewhere as there are FAKE MI3s selling on other sites/channels.
BOTTOMLINE: MI3 is 100% better than N5. And it has 30% more battery capacity so all the MERRIER. :)
I have no idea when they'll be launching 64GB version and FRANKLY, i don't think they will. So, wud suggest you not to expect for 64GB version. :(

I was just replying to someone's query regarding PROs and CONs of MI3.
I love MIUI, just don't like it's UI so already installed NOVA launcher. And there is a 64GB model but it is not available for sale at official price (USD 300-320) through Official Xiaomi channels and UN-official channels (like ibuygouu etc) are charging TOO MUCH for 64GB model.

Lets' face it this phone is about an year old and in terms of H/W is no longer AT THE PEAK. So, time is due for next iteration (Mi4). So, in essence, Xiaomi will launch it in batches (initially) just to create a kinda HYPE and ANTICIPATION. And a few weeks later will make it readily available to SELL as many as they can before teasing the NEXT FLAGSHIP.
