Before we begin, Xiaomi CEO of the company, Mr Lei claimed that Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 will take new package, because it makes it easier to store displays. After getting it, I feel that the package was very fresh, instead of traditional Xiaomi kraft paper box packaging with high hardness, in fact, recently we can see the package of Xiaomi products , it seems look exquisite, Now Xiaomi began to discard the old boxes.Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 box gives us the first impression not so exquisite, but it is undeniable that compared to old-style packaging, the new box is easier to open, more practical.
In the aspect of accessories, it has no headphone, after all, it is the cheap budget smartphone below $200, therefore, you have to buy the earphone by yourself. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 accessories include the power supply adaptor, USB2.0 cable, warranty card, user manuel, card PIN, power adapter 5V 2a.
After tearing the film, you can see a new Xiaomi Redmi note 3 Silver Edition ,except for outside Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 dark gray, screen Panel of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 silver and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Golden is in white and gold, which is to make the whole color scheme more appropriate.
Xiaomi Redmi note 3 is equipped with 13 million megapixel rear camera with phase focusing technique, Xiaomi introduced its fastest-focusing only takes 0.1 seconds, including HDR and 12 different styles of filters. Rear camera with Flash can produce two color temperature of light, which can create a more natural lighting effects, On the market of smartphones with this ki d of price, fewer manufacturers will adopt the dual-color Flash, this is a nice detail of this smartphone.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 also has a fingerprint-recognition feature, fingers tap the fingerprint area, ithe locking screen can instantly be woken . In 2015, more and more smartphone below 1,000RMB are beginning to use the fingerprint recognition, which mean fingerprinting is not the exclusive flagship handset. In fact, what is different from the traditional fingerprint recognition applications is that, Xiaomi based on fingerprint authentication creates into an open platform, if software vendors are willing to try to develop fingerprint identification module of Xiaomi, it certainly outweighs the disadvantages for Xiaomi fans, so that it will better stretch the scope of fingerprint identification.
Redmi Note 3 is paired with a 5.5-inch 1920x1080-resolution retina screen, according to official introduced, redmi Note 3 on the screen with "sun screen" technology, can automatically adjust the screen contrast of light, use the "luminous screen" technology makes the screen in the dark soft and not harsh.
Redmi Note 3 used alloy metal body with strong metallic, top and bottom position of the fuselage is due to the antenna, so it is made of engineering plastic materials. Redmi Note 3 weighs 164g respectively, 8.65 mm body thickness,to be frank, in fact, such a thickness and weight are not so thin, but 4000 mAh high capacity battery is important to let it more attractive,which improve the strong standby ability.
May, if someone asks me now which type of battery life is good from the range of 1000RMB smartphones, probably the first thought is the Huawei play 5 or Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, but in view of advantages of hardware and software, of course, i think Xiaomi is more attractive.
RedMI Note 3 is a dual SIM card dual standby mobile phone, with dual SIM card slots in the fuselage, while supporting for FDD-LTE/TDD-LTE dual-4G, very easy to use. Redmi Note 3 also supports the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi Protocol, which uses 5GHz Wi-Fi signal.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is divided into two versions:2GB 16GB fuselage Standard Edition and 3GB 32GB .
In fact, the most surprising, Xiaomi’s first all-metal body phone turned out to be a thousand Yuan-class handset, but now this kind of mobile phone market is so competitive,but we just make the wise choice about the nice products so that spend our money more wisely.
I love the premium build quality at a low price point, this should attract many buyers for Xiaomi!

Only a couple places have it up for presale yet. Geekbuying has the 16GB for $180USD and the 32gb for $210USD. GizChina's shop is a bit pricier... 16GB for $210USD and 32gb for $250USD. 1949deal lists the 16gb for $190USD, but they have it marked as out of stock. Not on Gearbest, Everbuying, TinyDeal, MeriMobiles, AllBuy, Pandawill, BangGood, Etotalk, or even AliExpress yet (that one's pretty surprising, actually).
Edit - I missed that there was already a page 2 to the thread, somebody beat me to the punch with the pics

As long as you're buying from one of the "reputable" stores, you should be fine (I'm not aware of any of the ones I mentioned above selling counterfeits, except for AliExpress but that's different as it's a marketplace of multiple sellers).

$180 for a smartphone with fingerprint sensor and 4000mAh battery is really not bad.

check out this review

Hello there,
My main phone just broke, and for now I can't afford a recent flagship, although I have two options for my budget. (both the same price)
As the title says, I have to choose between a Huawei P20 PRO [128 gb / 6 gb RAM] and a Samsung Galaxy S9 [Exynos 64 gb/ 4gb RAM] (not plus).
So, I would like to ask you if I can get some guidance, I have read reviews and watched a lot of videos, but I'm still not sure...
I'm interested in a reliable device, a day battery for me is enough, a great all rounder camera in any condition.
I just have some concerns about the Huawei device, no OIS, no headphone jack and no Micro SD slot is a really turn off for me, but I would like to know if the experience overall compensate this (if any of you have switched between these two). For the Samsung, I have seen that night or low light pictures are not as good as the Huawei, and so is the battery (3000 mAh vs 4000 mAh).
Thanks in advance, I would really appreciate your answers.
Hi, just sharing my experience with you about the s9. I have never owned a p 20 pro but before I got my first s9, I did a quick hands on with the p20 pro. I was more swayed by the s9 because at the time, one of the main selling points was the quality of the stereo speakers on the s9, something which was missing on the s8.
I traded in my first s9 after a while and went through a series of phones including the Note 9, s10+ and finally the oneplus 7 pro. A few months back, I came across an s9 demo unit on the cheap. Everything in the box was untouched and after checking for burn in and scratches, I bought it. I used it together with my 7 pro and ultimately decided to sell the 7 pro and keep the s9.
Sounds a bit crazy but the s9 was always at the back of my mind when I was using the other phones. It is a very good all rounder phone. I have no regrets giving up faster charging, a bigger screen, higher refresh rate and faster processor for useful features like notification light, headphone jack, iris scanner and a higher resolution because of its smaller size.
One ui 2.1 has given it a new lease of life and although there will not be any further android version updates, my only plan is to change the battery when the time comes.
I'd be interested if Samsung did an iPhone SE makeover of the s9. I might consider a new phone then.
I only have the S9 not the P20, but if I were you I'd rather choose the latest phone available out there. since it has more recent software, unlike the S9 which I believe this year is the last year that the phone is still got the software update unless you use the updated custom rom. also there are a lot of phones that has long battery life, higher storage, higher ram, maybe a bit better camera than both s9 and p20, and again more recent software. I think it's more worth it rather than buying a 3 y/o flagship phones.
Also nowadays I feel like running stock firmware on this phone is still reliable, it's not buttery smooth like it used to that's why I'm using the custom rom. other than that, this phone really fits my hand perfectly that's what makes me still considering this phone as my daily driver.
But that's just my opinion tho
I have the p20 pro and I'm thinking to switch to the S9.
I can say that the batterie is awesome on the huawei, I get 7h On Screnn with 25% left.
But i hate the caméra, it makes good images at low light but on daylight it's horrible. Hdr sucks, oversharpening, human faces are Just drawed with oil painting, front caméra is blurry and overexposed. I prefer Xiaomi mi A3 with Gcam. Vidéo is also bad.
Emui 10 is also full of bugs. I regret switching from S8+ and Xiaomi Mi9T to P20 pro.
S8+ was much better and with gcam it's amazing, i'd like to switch to s9 but i think i Will regret it because of the ppor battery life.
I asked the same in the S20FE Forums but thought i'd ask here too.
I'm looking to replace my S10e with a larger phone. It's down to Mi10T Pro or S20FE. I will have to get the Exynos Version of the S20. It seems to be a toss up between the OLED Screen on the Samsung and the easier unlock plus Snapdragon on the Mi10T.
I don't care for cameras too much, i don't consume media on my phone, i know MIUI and OneUI and don't mind either. I've had great experience with Xiaomi and Samsung in the past. The only thing i'm a bit worried about is coming from an OLED Screen (S10e) to an IPS one might be a bit jarring when it comes to text contrast.
The xiaomi will be marginally cheaper (a few bucks).
Since i'll get it through my carrier, i can't get the regular Mi10 anymore. I debated waiting for the Mi11 but that will be quite a bit more expensive and i really don't need the increase in performance.
So what do you think? AMOLED + Exynos or IPS + Snapdragon?

Its up to u, s20 fe is really good phone too. I actually decided to go with mi 10t since fe and 10tpro are 100e more than 10t and they are not that better for that much difference, camera is 5% better and mi 10t is still capable of making some great shots. According to screen ive used 9t before and i can tell that i like IPS more and its faster refresh rate is amazing, but it doesnt have aod and super wallpapers so its one downside for me.
Mi 10T Pro is a much better phone overall, which is amazing given it's way cheaper than the S20FE. One of the best value phones hands down.
Software wise is less bloated and offers a better Android experience.
Hardware is so much better in every single area. The camera is very very good, the battery performance is stellar, the screen is top notch for an IPS LCD screen. Then Exynos vs Snapdragon, dilemma in which I prefer Snapdragon.
Now there's a few things which might be deal breakers for people:
-No IP68 (I've never had the need for this in my life, phone is unusable when swimming anyways), but if you love boating, beaches or swimming then this might be a deal for you.
-ANY AMOLED screen it's light years ahead of even the best LCD screens. It's day and night difference: the contrast, the colors, everything. Pictures with bright colors on day light they're comparable, as soon as there's an image with heavy contrast, shadows or black on it then it's VERY obvious the differences specially indoors. When web browsing or scrolling around the menus you won't notice, as soon as you open a photo or a nice wallpaper, you'll see how bad LCD screens are compared to AMOLED.
-Developer community is still dead for the Mi 10T.
I came from a Mi 9T Pro, and the AMOLED screen it's a big deal... But I really wanted the infinite lasting battery of the Mi 10T and the IR blaster. As an added bonus I found out the camera, specially video recording and low light photos is so but so much better. But once you go AMOLED is very hard to go back to LCD.
Just because of the Samsung bloatware I'd avoid them like a plague, and you'd think a Chinese manufacturer would be worse but overall Xiaomi is better than the rest, they have done a pretty good job from hardware to software. It's a solid and nice product.
And for the money of an S20 FE you're better off buying a Google Pixel 5 which is pretty good if you don't mind the "OK" battery.
Or better yet go for the Mi 10 Ultra or Mi 11 Pro which is around the corner.

Snapdragon 865 in Mi 10T Pro is 30% faster than the Exynos on S20... and also better thermal control and less throttling.
I agree the LED on 10T vs Amoled on S20 is a slight downer, however the 10T PRo is 144Hz refresh vs 120 on Samsung S20
Battery life is undoubletly better on Xiaomi compared with Samsung, and also the battery in 10T Pro is a lot larger (5000mah)
Look on eBay or FB for best prices on borh phones before you make your final decision.
(I got a 2nd hand Mi 10T PRo brand new - with genuine UK Mi 30w charger, but no retail box - for £380 on FB Marketplace )
I'm also excited about the upcoming Mi 11 range but agree with you... Mi 11 prices for next 3-6 months will be much higher than for Mi10 , even 2nd hand ones.
Either S20 FE or Mi 10T Pro will be a great device for you, but my vote goes for the Mi 10T Pro.
(P.S. go for 256GB storage option as Mi 10 devices do not support SD Card expansion).
well it's not a direct comparison , but i've upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 , and I miss the Note 8's Amoled screen.. it's much much better that Mi 10T Pro's LCD if you factor out the smooth 144hz screen , everything else is much bettter on the Xiaomi... oh forgot about note8 is thinner at that Spen
The contrast on Mi 10T/Pro is high but not on the same level of OLED screens. Probably the best LCD I've seen on a phone.
guys i found the s20fe 5g and the mi10t in the same price wich one should i choose both of them are equiped with sd865
