Who xiaomi here?
And for those who don't know, it's pronounced sh-oami
>>54388485
Get the fuck out of here.
>>54388485
Xiaomi Mi4c here, using CM13 because MIUI went full retard since 2016.
Also waiting for Mi5 4/128 Ceramic Black to appear but I am a little concerned about Bootloader and OS locks.
Thoughts on the redmi 3 pro? Anyone here buy one?
Seems like a great deal at that price.
>>54388517
What's wrong with miui? Reviews on the redmi 3 seem optimistic
>>54388526
I got basic version of Redmi 3, its cool for basic users, but not good enough for power users. Also it has locked bootloader so it might come with chink spyware and you have to wait for a week to get unlock approval.
MIUI is getting more bugs than improvement since start of 2016 versions. And they are starting to shit on community who made them what they are now.
>>54388558
I just want mainly web browsing and messaging, as long as those don't glitch out I'm happy.
Also battery life. I chose the redmi 3 pro because it gets good battery life in reviews.
How's your battery life?
>>54388597
You should be fine then and extra GB of RAM might come in handy although Xiaomi still has great resource management on 2GB version.
It can last for 7 days while using it for calls and occasional web browsing, 4400MAh works well with HD Scrrrn and 4+4 core.
>>54388558
I got redmi 3s for my old parents, they seem really happy and haven't bugged me about anything. Just disabled automatic updates and all is good. Kind of want one myself because of how cheap they are, I got a mi4c a bit earlier.

Also, what kind of SoT do you get and what's your usage?
Thanks anon
>>54388650
I get 100 Yuans per post, cool eh?
>>54388650
I get it!
>>54388652
4400MAh is what I got when I measured charging from 1% to 100% but yeah official statement is 4100. It does not really matter at this capacity.
>>54388671
Pardon me for capital M
Got the Redmi Note 3 Pro, 10Ah power bank and the piston 3s. They're all really good products.
>>54388671
That's true.
Thanks for answering anyways anon. I'm going to order the gold one because the grey is expensive and I don't want any mix ups between my sisters oppo r7 and my redmi.
>>54388714
Are 3rd gen Pistons good? I heard some negative reviews about bad quality earbuds making squeaky sound when you walk around and was recommended to buy 2rd gen instead. How are your feelings about 3rd gen?
>>54388738
They're okay. Quite low bass. MIUI has presets for EQ settings for their earphones so it brings it up a bit. I don't really walk around with them because these types of earphones tend to fall out of your ears.

>>54388778
Fuck off
>>54388485
Redmi note 2 or redmi 3?
Which is the better option?
>>54388969
If you want performance the redmi note 2 has the heliox10, but the redmi 3 is newer and has the more efficient SD616 and a bigger battery.
Personally I'd say go for the redmi, unless the 720p screen is a turn off for you
>>54388969
Unless you want mediocre battery and want it removable then go for redmi note 2. Personally I'll suggest the redmi 3 pro since you won't have to worry about battery since most people get double digit SOT.
Also i own redmi note 2 so take my word with a grain of salt.
>>54388485
>sh-aomi
What the fuck anon
>>54388526
Miui is a ram hog. My redmi note 2 2gb ram won't cut it and keep reloading. My lg g2 perform miles better
>>54388485
Anyone know when the 128gb/Black Mi5 will be released? I saw some white pieces being sold but not Black.
>>54389016
The redmi 3 pro is 3GB ram. That should be better than the note 2 pro?
>>54388485
I own a Redmi note 3 pro myself but you should just roll xiaomeme discussion to /csg/
Polite sage
Redmi 1s reporting in
it was easy to root it and remove miui
it's still a great phone
i will not buy anymore xiaomi if they now make locked bootloader
>>54389113
I believe so. My redmi note 2 often have 1.2gb ram used for the system. I can't even open more than 4 or 5 apps.
>>54388762
use smaller gums
>>54389137
Sounds like it doesn't handle ram very well, my Nexus 5 performs well on only 2GB Ram, then again, I get around 1.3GB free on boot.
My computer illiterate buddy bought the redmi note 3 with locked bootloader and had a shit ton of trouble to unlock it
>>54389150
Since when did it become ONLY 2 GB, anon...
>>54389150
well i got mi3 with 2 gigs and usually i got like a gig free
>>54389113
Correction: only the 32gb version has 3gb ram
>>54388485

>>54388526
Redmi Note 3 Pro 3GB/32GB Gold User here ready to shill, running AOSP, (everything works including fingerprint reader) enjoying my 8+ Hours of SOT.
>>54389256
8+ hours SoT
That's why I ordered mine, so fucking keen, coming from a nexus 5
>>54388714
How's the 10Ah power bank? Was thinking of picking one up since they are dirt cheap here and offered locally in these tech stores.
>>54389270
exactly why I got mine too, I was coming from a Moto G2 and that shit only lasted for 3 hours, this is godlike, I no longer need to worry about charging my phone halfway through the day and about how I use it, I just fucking do what I want on it and throw it on the charger before I sleep, wakeup and repeat.
>>54389280
It's a great power bank. The normal 10Ah power bank doesn't have quick charge or any overvolting 'features' so charging devices may take a little while but it charges fine. Just make sure that you get a legit Xiaomi power bank, there's quite a few fakes that are sold, especially on eBay and Aliexpress.
Also own a 10000mah Xiaomi external battery. I trust this company blindly. They've NEVER let me down on quality.
>>54389256
>gold
nigger
grey master race
>>54389311
oh okay, that's perfectly fine for me since I don't intend to charge my phone fast, right now i have a tiny 2200 mAh power bank that I use in my car sometimes so I'll just be replacing that with this 10Ah one, so it just means less charging the power bank.
>>54389321
this is good to hear.
>>54389337
Grey looks nicer but the gold is much cheaper.
>>54389256
Does the gold bezel ever get annoying? That's my only concern with going gold over grey.
Also waiting for price to drop below 210 aud before ordering, it was $206 recently too but I waited instead of ordering. Won't make that mistake again.
The only problem I've had with my Redmi Note 3 Pro is that sometimes "Shell" drains the battery significantly, the 5 days of battery life suddenly goes to 1 day, some wakelock bug relating to music playback. If they fix that it's BES phone.
>>54388485
Wanted to buy the Note Pro when I went to Vietnam but apparently not for sale there yet. Instead, I bought an Oppo in Australia for the 6" screen and massive battery. Put Cyanogenmod OS on it and it's been the best phone I've ever had.
Bought 8 of the portable chargers and they've been great.
Bought a set of earphones. Couldn't tell you which pair but while the sound was excellent for the price, the cord made a lot of noise which traveled through to my ears while I ran and the shape of them was just uncomfortable. Not the ones in this image.
Looking at the MiPad now
>>54389337
sadly they didn't have any other color except gold in stock and after hearing MIUI memory management horror stories with the 2G variant, I quickly jumped on the gold 3G of RAM variant before anyone else did. (yes I bought locally, because of convenience + it was cheaper than shipping it)
>>54389382
My sister has an oppo r7.
Got it on sale from dick smith, pretty solid for the price.
I'm getting a redmi 3 pro for much cheaper though, with similar specs, so I'm curious how it'll turn out.
I bought Redmi Note 2 for 125 dollars. Flashed CM 12.1 right away, but battery isn't great and pics are under 2 MB now.
My experience with Xiaomi products:
Redmi Note 2 - great hardware but shit software, which makes for a shit phone overall. Just get the Redmi Note 3 Pro;
16000mAh (10800 real) power bank - great product, almost one year old, no problems whatsoever;
Piston 3 headphones - best $17 headphones, the comfiest I've ever used, decent sound quality (extraordinary for the price though), comparable to the Vsonic VSD1S (~$40-$50).
Fucking chinks had to spend money developing their own shitty ecosystem and Android "flavour" full of bloated shit that can't do anything properly. I'm running AOSP since I didn't expect MIUI to be so abysmal, and I wouldn't have even bought it if I had known.
>>54389395
Why not miui? Could you not root and debloat?
I've found cm rarely runs as good as a stock based rom on my devices
>>54389410
I don't know seemed too iPhoneish, and I guess I'd have to contact my bank again to send me those tokens for their app.
>>54388738
Just get the Hybrids
RedMi Note 2, 20Ah power bank, MiBand 1s and Piston 3 here.
Sometimes I feel like an applecuck
Is gearbest a safe bet if I want an authentic powerbank? Too paranoid for ebay.
>>54389449
Yep.
>>54389410
You can, and it does run a lot better, but you lose functionality compared to AOSP/CM. I had CM12 and then 12.1 running on a Huawei G510 with 512MB of ram fucking over a year ago, and believe me, the software was better.
>>54389465
old MIUI looks a lot more forgiving on RAM usage than the new MIUI
>>54388485
Best Xiaomi earphones for the price these days?
So it's pronounced Shoah-Me?
Because that can be arranged.
>>54388485
For anyone wondering.
https://youtu.be/ByMPG1eFofE
It's worth it to root and debloat miui. My RN3P with 3gb sometimes runs low on memory.
There's a ROM builder here that removes most crap:
http://smiui.net/kitchen.php
It helps, but if you just want raw speed you should use the qualcomm asop ROM, which I'd do right away on a 2gb model.
>>54389600
What about battery life?
>>54389621
Should be good. It's as good as official with proper drivers etc because it was made by qualcomm for xiaomi, unlike CM that's always a compromise with broken shit or generic drivers.
>>54389667
That sounds awesome. Will definitely keep that in mind.

Redmi 1 here (no 1s). Mediatek is shit and MIUI is shit, but price is fucking good.
>>54389747
64bit mediatek is actually pretty good. Only thing they need to fix now is gpu performance and they'll be so much better than qualcomm.
You can't really beat the value of a mtk6753 or 6752 device, and then you get shit like the mtk6753p used in the $90 k4000 pro.
Mediatek have gotten really competitive lately.

>>54390158
Definitely yes. The sound is ok, not too great but the best things about it are its battery life and durability. Also the design is pretty nice
>>54390225
This. Wouldn't the gold be distracting?
Laptop fucking when?
>>54390608
This. I want a good as fuck budget laptop already.
>>54389256
How long does it take to fully charge it?
What's your primary usage with 8 hours SOT?
Also, how stable is the aosp rom?
I have the 64gb version of mi5
But miui is just horrible on it
It's laggy and multitasking is just disappointing
Still waiting for a decent aosp/cm13 rom
>>54390624
why not the mi pad with windows?

That's not a laptop unfortunately.

Are these good for watching streamers on Twitch.tv?
>>54389256
How did you root it? Via the official or unofficial method? I just request for unlocking the bootloader, will have to wait for 2 weeks. Xiaomi is making it very hard just to root.
I thought it was pronounced Yao-mi
Xiaomi Redmi 3 here reporting in. The size is just right and the battery life is great. I regularly get 10+ hours of screen on time.
>>54389701
another anon using qualcomm's AOSP on his RN3P 3G/32G here, its a great experience battery/performance wise, this phone feels like a power house with AOSP compared to the consumerism/normie shit which it was on MIUI.
I am reallly excited about Miui8
>>54389973
unlock bootloader via unofficial method, no waiting needed, get the AOSP build by Qualcomm, it has no pajeet tier bugs because its built by Qualcomm not pajeet and raj in their basements with curry all over there fingers and shit everywhere.
Also RN3PP (pro prime) masterrace.
I really hope xiaomi would push that linux laptop out. I own nothing but thinkpads, but i would buy their laptop if it was not trash
>>54390225
I use a case and it barely looks gold, it actually looks quite nice desu.
>>54390430
No it isn't distracting, I use a case.
>>54390659
2 hours to charge fully
I use 3G only and I use a shit tonne of apps, I don't use greenify or anything, apps used: Clover, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, WhatsApp, Reddit is Fun, Telegram, Neko Atsume, Shuttle+, these are my main apps I use but I do use other apps when needed, I get around 8 hours of SOT each day, I'm sure it can be pushed to 10+ if you used WiFi and use something like greenify.
>>54391467
Unofficial obviously, I applied for bootloader unlock the day I got it but I got inpatient after 2 days and decided to unofficially unlock and install AOSP, there's no issues with it except if you wanna flash MIUI you have to firmware flash so it relocks BL and kinda puts you back at square one but that's no issue if you just want AOSP.
This AOSP build was built by Qualcomm so its 100% stable and has 0 bugs, everything works and its better in terms of performance/battery life in MIUI, I don't see why you wouldn't want to use it, unless you like MIUI and I wouldn't blame you if you do, its comfy, but its a bit too slow/limited for me so I use AOSP with xposed and etc.
>>54391901
Note version is only .5 bigger and its better in some areas.
>>54391929
Same, can't wait till May 10th, hope they have a build out for the Redmi Note 3 Pro.
RN3P temps if anyone cares about them, using s case btw.
Why should I get the Redmi Note 3 Pro over a Galaxy Note Edge? I'm being offered the GNE at a similar price to the RN3P, so I'm kind of torn. Thoughts?
Is there a way to make the vibrator and led notification of the mipad 2 usable on windows?
Also, is there a way to re-map the bezel touch buttons?
>And for those who don't know, it's pronounced sh-oami
*Annuda Shoa-mi
>>54392073
If security patch and new features every month excite you then you probably want xiaomi. If you can find better custom rom for note edge then by all mean it is a better phone.
>>54392073
The Note is way better, a lot better camera but would will get also Lagwizz
>>54392054
76c kek, maybe a read error?
>>54392967
probably.
>>54392073
If its the first GNE then go for the RN3P since its probably more up to date hardware & software wise, but I'm not too sure on the GNE specs, so if they are solid, definitely go for the GNE.
What do I buy, redmi 3 pro or redmi note 3 pro?
>>54393834
definitely note 3 pro (get the snapdragon edition) if you want the best performance / battery.
have the piston 2.1, better than my 120€ sennheisers (!)
if you get a chance to buy these like fuckers, take it!

What's the recommended place to buy my rednote 3 pro from?
>>54389408
The Hybrids are even better than the piston 3.
>>54403716
Mine seems okay, usually only about 1gb free though, so 3gb ram is def good over 2gb.
>>54403756
I got mine from aliexpress and paid for DHL express, got it very fast. Though I messaged the seller prior to ordering asking if they could get it in the next day (they sent it out same day).

I have the same phone, also with CM13. IMHO the battery life has improved with CM. The only thing I miss from MIUI is the ability to use the flashlight without unlocking the phone.

Did you get the china model or the global model?
What are the differences between Redmi Note 3/3 pro/3 pro prime ?
>>54404608
Redmi note 3 has the Mediatek Helio X10 SoC, while the Pro has the Snapdragon 650 SoC, a much better CPU.
>>54404547
There's no china/global model if I'm correct. There's China/global ROMS though which you can flash either.
>>54404547
>>54404670
Do they still sell fake xiami phones on aliexpress and eBay?
>>54404687
It's very likely but I haven't heard of any recently.
Just remember if you're buying a product that has a much lower price than competitors it's likely a fake. This is especially true for sites like AliExpress and eBay.
I'd recommend going with a reputable seller or a reseller website like GearBest, Banggood, GeekBuying.

Ah sorry... dunno why but seems I only read 'are they still selling fake Xiaomi stuff?'. My bad.
As for phones last I read (can't remember source) phones are no longer faked.
But you never know ofc. If you find a MI5 for €20 I would assume it to be fake though.
Decrease cpu freq.

I've bought piston 3's a while ago and they are my daily earbuds, good sound no squeaks.
Recently bought a pair of piston 2's because they were on sale and i don't like them as much, no braided cable + its a really thin cable which im worried will break easily. Besides that music sounds a little more flat, probably because of the open back that lets you hear environment sounds better. And the bass is a little bit bloated.
Both are good earbuds but I prefer the piston 3
>>54389150
it actually handles ram really well, free ram is unused ram, might aswell not have it and buy a 1gb ram phone.
mi4 with 2,5gb ram in use ( about 2,5 days since reboot) and no signs of slowing down, if it needs more memory it just pushes out something that hasnt been accessed in a while.
>>54407392
That makes sense, but still, 3gb is nice to have
>>54405181
I feel you. That's why i pack 2 batteries just in case. The fact that i can swap battery remedies the shit battery a bit. Ill wait for rmnote 4 for them to include fast charging.
