I feel the Price point Metric is not emphasized enough in the Review.
It is a paramount factor, esp more so for a product from Xiaomi since that is their Core Defining Principle.
Are devices like Galaxy S4/S5 or Note 3, etc REALLY the direct competition of Mi3(esp from a review-conclusion point of view), at 150% the Price factor? Really?
For the Price this device comes in, there is NO competition. Audio Quality seems to be the issue in this particular review, Compared to Which Devices. Why shouldn't this Audio Quality Metric be compared with devices which are actually in the same Price Range as the Mi3. Isn't that the logical thing to do?

"Xiaomi one of the largest smartphone vendors in its homeland - China "
...it is not simply "one of the largest" - since last quarter it is THE LARGEST smartphone vendor in China.

Hi, just a few corrections required in the review
1. The video records at 1080x1920 @ 60fps and not at 30fps.(mentioned in the video recording column of camera review page.)
2. The camera is supported by a dual led flash & not single led (first line in the camera review page)
And thank you so much for the review. Waiting for it!

That seems like a lot of bezel on the top and bottom.

I also have a mi 3. Its really an awesome phone. I would like to mention here that the phone can record videos at 60fps now. I have confirmed it multiple times. I am on the chinese developer rom which is based on kitkat 4.4.4. Kindly rectify this in the review. I can provide a sample if required.

..its truly awesome phone!!! Even not considering the price point as a selling criteria, still it has right mix of great ingredients to make it a superb product! Me being a hardcore Nokia-fan, was missing having Android on Nokia and was eagerly waiting to replace my N8,... Mi3 came at right time!!.....and yes seriously lucky to be one of the 10% registered users who proudly own this piece of wonderful hardware! Thanks to Flipkart.
Pros: Nokia design/build quality, iPhone's fluid UI and with Android !!! What else you want??? :)
Cons: More RAM usage by MIUI, when its less than 200mb, I saw even gallery app was crashing! But otherwise even at 300mb RAM, everything is butter smooth! Heard latest stable ROM v23 has been optimized for RAM usage, yet to update and try.
BTW eagerly waiting for MIUI 6, which is releasing tomorrow for beta testing! :))

I've been holding back to grab this phone since its arrival in India, the reason being - I was skeptical of its camera performance. Now that I've seen the camera review, I might just grab one very soon.
