There's no way you have missed the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. It's been the bang-for-buck benchmark for a while now, delivering a feature set and performance way above what its price tag suggests...

When you typed *#*#4636#*#* you will directed to "phone information" -- just tap phone information1 (or phone information2 depending to which tray your 4G SIM Card placed) --- then scroll down until you find "set preferred network type", tap the box and choose the TD-SCDMA, GSM/WCDMA, LTE --- just wait a couple second and your phone will get LTE connection... i am using Telkomsel and the LTE/4G connection is worked perfectly in my Redmi Note 3... goodluck..!

                it has a bug, when you charge it full at night, you will find it 75% in the morning. That's why I throw it away and buy samsung J7 2016. The battery can run for 2 days (48h) even more.

                        ...enough to buy a Mediatek inside phone.

                        Their X20/X25 can't compete with other flagships this year... the same will happen with their x30 next year.

                        It is their OWN concept of having more is better and as shown in this case, more lousy cores is definitely NOT better than fewer good cores.

                          AnonD-454835, 25 Aug 2016what about the picture quality of Laser 2?i'd say above average..i think the quality across the zen 2 siblings is just the same..same sensor maybe? just dont forget to wipe your fingerprint on the lens, it will distract the light..

If it doesn't work then it could be your APN, other settings or that the seller messed up the flashing.

                                If the government block 4G on Xiaomi then blame the government.

                                      For the price, this phone is a beast. I know its still on lollipop but still it offers way much more
                                      than devices of similar specs. And the battery life is truly phenomenal
