Redmi Note 3 is kinda cool, not a fan of x10, but with 4000 mah battery it should be fine. Just makes Redmi Note 2 look kinda stupid since it just came out too... Also HOPEFULLY MIUI7 is smoother than MIUI6 was.

 

 

Also don't make fun of air purifier, china has some of the worst pollution in the world because of the amount of coal they burn. It's actually a very nice product to have and Xiaomi quality/price ratio is great.

I amsad to report that your hopes have been crushed... Miui 7 is slightly buggy and is just as slow as the miui 6

Oh well. Hopefully Meizu launches Metal without YunOS. Because while flyme is also a little buggy atleast it's hella smooth.

No, yeah, I know. I just found it a bit funny that they announced it at the event. I totally understand they have a huge problem with air pollution.

Did anyone else take a look at the photos and think they were looking at a new iPad and iPhone? 

[suicidalfranco]

if the air purifier is the HEPA kind, i would actually want that and keep it in proximity of my PC and limit the amount of dust around it. Wonder how much it costs

[suicidalfranco]

Did anyone else take a look at the photos and think they were looking at a new iPad and iPhone? 

nope

[Belgarathian]

nope

 

I was just looking at the colour offering, marketing collateral, background photo used, and design thinking it's very Apple like the whole time. Not a bad thing, Apple does what they do extremely well.

I have to agree with that.

Who the heck is xiaomi and why is our forum flooded with threads about their products? Is this another one of these chinese brands that don't suck, like Oppo, Huawei and Blu? (Dont hit me if those aren't chinese) i have never ever heard about them. is their OS based on android or something entireley new?

sure, how their site presents it may look like how Apple does it, but the devices themselves, they don't give me an iPad/iPhone feel

[Walter H.W.]

I think the Mi Pad 2 looks kinda like an iPad Mini, but the Redmi Note 3 doesn't look like an iPhone, not even close.

it'll cost 699RMB = $110

Not sure if that includes fees and shipping.

Their OS is a fork of Android, Xiaomi is one of the top chinese brand competing directly against Huawei and Samsung in terms of marketshare (5th position worldwide, first or second in China iirc)

hope it's like majority of chinese reseller that don't add shipping fees for Europe

[Walter H.W.]

Well, they still add it to the price..

There are air purifiers that could legit reduce dust in a small space ?? Got my attention.

 

Also my Xiaomi 57 USD on ear headphones (and my xiaomi fitband and xiaomi phone ) have all been incredible i cant really ever recall making tech purchases where i suffered so little buyers guilt. Their pricing is so aggressive (by western standards) that it really makes their product quality incredible, not too mention the little things like packaging etc.

 

Their blatant apple design cloning is great too i can get apple design aesthetics which are undeniably brilliant. But i actually get great hardware at a price that blows apple out of the water.

 

cant say enough good things about this brand.

Xiaomi is the largest chinese brand. Often called Apple of China or Samsung of China since they make devices similar to Samsung.

Usage certainly wouldn't... I'm actually excited about the tablet, and may even get one myself.

Shipping fees out of China are minimal anyway... Wouldn't worry about it.

Without knowing the frequencies, I'm not too exited about the Redmi Note 3. It will probably not work in north america...
