Ayodele, 16 Aug 2018I saw two battery test reviews comparing the Huawei Note 10... moreThe Max 3 still has a great battery life and a detailed screen with essentially no chance of distinguising visible pixels at normal viewing distance, nor burn-in. The Honor 10 however can't say the same. You pay more, but screen wise you get a worse experience.
Not all yoututbers that get their hands on two devices know how to best test them fairly.
A common fault is to set both phones at max brightness for a battery life comparison, while in fact this may be a very significant brightness setting on the devices meaning one outputs a lot more light and hence uses much more energy. Some at least eye ball the brightness, due to lack of photometer, but most I've seen just set to max brightness and call it fair - even though it's not.
In example, at 100% brightness the Honor 10 outputs 449 cd/m2 while the Xiaomi Mi A1 outputs 551 cd/m2. Close to 23% difference in brightness. But if one inlcuded the Moto G6 Plus which reaches a whopping 776cd/m2 then we're talking roughly 73% difference in brightness.
The Mi Max 2 outputs 519 cd/m2, which was quite and improvement over the first generation. It will be interesting to see the result of Mi Max 3, if it's in the same region or higher/lower. I'm not interested in the result of the Note 10, it's disqualified due to it's pixelated pentile screen. No way if I'm going back to 2011 and pixelated screens. Being a fairly mid-range amoled, it will probably be in the 400-450 cd/m2 region, so it's not that far of a strech to assume the Mi Max 3 is about 15-20% brighter- hence no shock that the Note 10 lasted about 20% longer in frankietech's review, with a lot of dark content favouring amoled. Especially considering the Mi Max 3 also powers 50% more sub-pixels for that proper RGB display, freeing the user from pixelated screen nightmares.

He just stated that the mi max 3 "seems" to go better battery life due to having a larger battery but that he needed to test it out. It he tested it, the note 10s smaller battery would vastly outperform the max 3.

Go check yourself. Or just wait for GSMArena review.
I'm not paying twice the price for subpar AMOLED screen (great long run performers those OLED displays, right?) and lack of 3.5mm jack.

Frankie Tech posted a video on YouTube called "Honor Note 10 vs Xiaomi Mi Max 3 - Battery Drain Test!". Go check it out. The results show the honor note 10 VASTLY outlasting the mi max 3 despite its bigger battery. Conclusion? The mi max 3 has extremely poor software-hardware optimization. Skip this one guys, trust me. Not worth the cheap price in the long term. Add an extra couple of hundred bucks and get something that'll perform better in the long run. I'm personally done with xiaomi. There's a reason their phones are cheap.

I just got the Max 3, popped my sim card in and everything looked good- until i made my first phone calls. reception dropped from all bars to 1 , dropped call. Now i can only make calls when standing outside the house. inside any building there is no reception. Max1, Max 2 work perfectly. Also, there is a sound coming out of the bottom speaker( which sounds like a Crowcall), top speaker hardly anything, I wasted my money big- time. I hope this reception thing is only software related and can be remedied some day. I am using the global rom since i live in Canada. I did not have expected this from Xiaomi.

On actual problems: some people report screen occasionally registering touch out of nowhere, without user doing anything. Does anyone here encountered this issue?

Joe, 16 Aug 2018Guys, don't buy this phone. Several youtubers have been run... moreHonor 10 is a twice the price device and it would be something crazy going on if that pentile amoled didn't use significantly less power. Not only due to the fact that a lot the testing was with black bars or areas covering a large amount of the screen, but also that the Mi Max 3 has 50% more sub pixels to power, giving the display a lot more detail than the Note 10.
Both devices was also set to 100% brightness and one might be outputting more lumens at this setting than the other.
Better to wait for GSMarena reviews.
