Pupone, 24 Oct 2018I've read your long post and I would like to thank you for ... moresounds like you are so obsessed over this SAR value. Each country set their own value. what is good in Uk is not good in your area. i know here in USA, 1.6 is the point to reach and I think UK is 2.0 but stand to be corrected. anything above you are advised to be careful. So check your country to see what you have as good value. am buying it in November cyber Monday. nothing is stopping me . there are other things putting radioactive waves everywhere. from hospitals to your homes. unless u want to live life without technology. there is little you can do . welcome to the new world. I don't believe a lot of the testing by some companies. some are not even sure just doing it to make people feel better

    I've been bein interested in this phone for a while, and I am convinced that it is a great phone, with an amazing value for money.
    However, as I already wrote before, the only blocking point for me is: the SAR value. It is so high (almost 1.6) that for an intense use I would always keep in mind that it might (I precise "might" because you will righly tell me that no evidence have been shown) be unhealthy...

    I would really like to have an opinion from someone who bought this phone: did you take this high SAR value into consideration, or you just don't care or didn't pay attention?

    Thanks a lot in advance!

      FlashSA, 19 Oct 2018Also just received the notirication for Miui 10.0.1.0 on my... more... I have it installed and my phone is fine - running flawlessly.

        Firstly, let me just say that this is the first 'Phablet' style phone I've owned ... therefore I don't have another phablet phone experience to compare it too directly. However, I've owned an iPhone 6s Plus and a Galaxy Note in the past, although neither quite a phablet and both with somewhat older technology in those units.
        So, my impressions of the Max 3 ... it's big, really big. And I've got to say that, despite it's size, it feels great in the hand and isn't clunky or awkward to get a decent grip on. I've not got overly large hands for a tall man, yet the fingerprint sensor is within easy reach with my index finger. The buttons are in the right, usual places on the side and the power button can also be assigned to take screenshots via a double-tap in the settings.
        I live in the UK and bought my Max via eGlobal UK ... They sent me the 'Global' version, so I didn't have to waste any time faffing about with removing various apps aimed at the Chinese market. I secured the phone at budget-friendly £200 and the most important thing I have to express to everyone reading this post is that the phone's performance far from budget level performance ! The phone is fast, very fast in real-world everyday tasks. I did a side-by-side comparison against an iPhone 8 and Samsung Galaxy s8+. I checked how quickly the Max 3 opened YouTube, Facebook, Whatsapp, Chrome, Firefox, Instagram and in all case the Max opened them way ahead of the other two phones. On average, the Max opened all in around or just under one second, with the other two taking between 2 to 5 seconds. Granted the phones compared against, aren't the very latest flagship models from either Apple or Samsung ( the iPhone X and Samsung S9 holding those titles currently ), but it wasn't very long ago that the models used here were at the top of their respective branded trees. I also accept that a couple of seconds difference when opening apps is hardly a matter for consternation, but the fact that the Max is so quick in this regard does add to the overall perception of a very smooth, spritely and sleek device.
        I have the 64gb version with 4gb of memory and, baring in mind that the Max has a mid-range Snapdragon 636 beating away at the heart of it, I am quite literally amazed at how swift it is with the types of everyday tasks I use my phones for ... It just does everything without any fuss and does it promptly in the way you want and hope for.
        The picture quality is surprisingly good, easily matching anything I've seen from a Samsung Galaxy 8 and the phone takes excellent 4K video if you download 'Open Camera' from Playstore and use that over the stock camera on the unit. To be fair, I don't do a huge amount of filiming or picture-taking with my phones, so I don't go too deeply into the more professional-orientated capabilities of the stated phone. I'm more interested in the point-and-shoot standard results that most everyday users would want from a phone and in this sense, I'm very happy with the results I get without too much effort.
        I've been using the Max 3 for a few weeks now and I can honestly say, it is not just a great phablet, but one of the best phones I've ever used, full stop ! For the ludicrisly cheap price of £200, you'll have a phone that can in many ways better a lot of top models from some very well known manufacturers overly the last 14 months. Ok, it won't beat an iPhone X or a Samsung S9 in certain areas, but you are paying but a quarter of the price for the Max 3 that you'd pay out for those leading models. I would defy anybody to use the Max 3 for a period and not come back with a generally glowing report about it !
        My advice : go and treat yourself to a Max 3 and save enough money to pay pretty much outright for decent holiday !!

                    Love this phone. Last weekend mi max 3 got the new MiUi 10.0.1.0. global update and it makes everything work better, smoother and faster. Full screen with gestures gives you hell-of a lot of space to work with. Battery life and screen where the reasons why I chose max 3, due to having to use the phone extensively for work while on the road.
                    I do not use the phone for gaming but any racing game seems to work fine.
                    Camera is adequate it takes fine pictures.

                        And it's the single blocking point for me. This phone looks a great value for money. But such a high SAR value is blocking me.

                          I have bought a global version of this phone online way back August which at that time was not yet officially available here in the Philippines. Before purchasing it I fully understood that it's not an official global ROM and that I will not receive OTA updates, but few days ago, I received an OTA update to MIUI global 9 stable 9.6.6.0 OEDMIFD then later on the same day an update to MIUI global 10 stable 10.0.1.0 OEDMIFH. I'm just kinda puzzled how did that happen

                                  why all these updates if there is no Android 9 pie? this is supposed to be my first Xiaomi phone am watching to see before i buy. by January Google will be talking about Android 10 and people will be begging for oreo. its not good at all
