Writing my comment here using my mi3w. It's 2024 of November and this phone is still alive! 11 years of service is not so bad at all!

              To be honest, this phone very cheap but comes with snapdragon 800 with processor of 2.3 Ghz. Yes this phone is not durable but i always self repair it as i brought the spare parts from china website. They sell not original part but as long the motherboard still working is perfect for me. I already replace cover, batter and digitizer screen just cost me around 100 usd. Now i just this phone just for skype and gaming mode. The battery last long and no heat issue for now after xiaomi did on massive update on this phone. One day i afraid this phone will obsolete and no more parts for me to replace. Haha. Good phone with reasonable price.

                  I have Note 3; seems good, but
                  1. When playing back messages, the screen goes out, and I can't see to deal with the message;
                  2. How can I download a manual - the best I can do is see a QR panel; and
                  3. The "orange area of the screen" (pocket dial) treatment is very annoying - how can I turn it off permanently?

                      For GSMArena Team. To Calculate geekbench 3, plz turn on performance mode and then check it out. Double core is 2801 and single core is 947.

                            The phone is stylish and really fast , the price is very realonable- BUT the touchscreen is working terribly + screen is scratching easily.

                            Not recommend to buy.

                                  Are you sure it is better than iphone 4s and 5s?? Is it as trustable, as stable? And what about the camera?
                                  Thx
