Lets compare the ~$220 Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro to the $749 iPhone 6S Plus.
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7863&idPhone2=7243
>RN3P is 26g lighter
>RN3P is physically smaller
>RN3P has a slightly bigger display due to smaller bezels, while being smaller
>RN3P has a significantly larger battery (4050mAh vs 2750mAh)
>iPhone 6s Plus has a better rear camera and speakers
How can Applefags even defend this? On a hardware standpoint it's objectively inferior to Xiaomi's BUDGET line of smartphones. Xiaomi's MIUI even functions like iOS, there's no reason at all to buy the Apple phone besides being a faggot.
>>54405176
Let's not forget the redmi has more ram and significantly better battery life
>>54405176
MIUI is shit though and unlocking xiaomi bootloader is a huge pain, fucking chinks
t. Redmeme 3 owner
>>54405176
Still scared to buy a chinkphone because of possible botnet in the firmware. I'm too paranoid for this shit.
>>54405176
Only phone I like as much if not more than my iPhone 6s is my Xperia Z3v. If I could, I would get the Z5.
>>54405481
>because of possible botnet in the firmware. I'm too paranoid for this shit.
1. install your own rom
2. applel and all normal android phones have this anyway
>>54405176
They aren't, they're a scam that takes advantage of technological illiterates and old people.
>>54405176
>no 4g compatibility
We shit im out
>>54405413
>MIUI is shit though and unlocking xiaomi bootloader is a huge pain, fucking chinks
Compared to iOS?
>>54405176
some people don't want to use your pajeet tier OS

>Snapdragon 650 vs. Apple A9
>android with less than 6gb of ram vs. iOS with 2gb
>no software updates forever
>no 3d touch
lolno
>Java os
N-no thanks
>>54405732
>Snapdragon 650 vs. Apple A9
CPU wise the snapdragon 650 is about the same, faster in multicore slightly slower in dual core. GPU wise the iPhone wins but is that worth $500 for your shitty fucking phone games that still run at 60fps on the Xiaomi?
>android with less than 6gb of ram vs. iOS with 2gb
2gb is fine on android, 3gb is more than fine
>no software updates forever
Xiaomi updates their phones forever. Original Redmi still gets MIUI updates, if you want to use the dev builds they get updated on a weekly basis.
>no 3d touch
there's other things the iphone doesn't have either like a fucking sd slot
Redmeme note 3 reporting in
Also, approx SoT for the phone
>>54405828
You forgot to provide evidence snapshit is faster than A9
No need sd slot when you can have blazing fast 128gb
>>54405881
hey, you left on you're trip :^)
>muh specs

aka that thing normal people care about
>>54405983

Redmi 3 gets an extra 20+ hours in endurance test, too bad they don't have the redmi 3 pro though. Should be similar, but a little worse.

I miss my old Xperia. I replaced it with an HTC One M8, and have regretted it since. About the only advantage over the Xperia is the larger screen, and more storage. Other than that it's a huge piece of shit.

>>RN3P has a significantly larger battery (4050mAh vs 2750mAh)
But I bet the iPhone gets significantly longer battery life.
It's not. I sold my iPhone 4s on ebay and got a Sony Z3.
Ever since Jobs left the building apple has gone to shit.
>>54407520
No it doesn't. The Note 3 Pro has about 7 and a half hours SoT while the iPhone is about 6 hours
>>54405565
iOS is NOT android.
>>54405176
>Only Apple sells overpriced phones
Why are you so upset at Apple? Are you just looking for (You)'s?
>>54405413
unlock unofficially, flash AOSP, everything works and it's nexus-like af, profit?!
>>54407612
this is false, RN3P gets 8+ Hours of SOT easily, wifi only you can get 10 hours or more. On a 6s you can only get 3-4 hours of SOT.
>>54407558
>Ever since Jobs left the building apple has gone to shit.

Don't you Xiaomi guys ever worry about the battery exploding in your pocket? Or do they use legit batteries in these things?
>>54408026
Why wouldn't they? Only news about batteries exploding I've seen have been on iPhones by the way.
>>54407889
why the fuck would you buy the shitty non note version ;-; you dun goofed anon.
>>54408026
legit batteries, never get hot either, its p good.
>>54405481
has anyone ever confirmed the firmware to be making connections to china even with a custom rom with no xiaomi shit on it or is this just more 'hurrr botnet' autism?

>THE iPHONE CLONE IS BETTER THAN THE ACTUAL iPHONE
YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP
I just bought an LG G Flex 2 off craigslist for $25, has some damage to the front glass on the lower left side (chipped off, actually) but the entire digitizer is still functional, there are no dead spots whatsoever. Not too bad for $25: Snapdragon 810 (I'm using a custom thermal config to keep the temps down and will do a copper shim job on it with decent thermal paste when the replacement display assembly gets here next week, so far no issues). Fast (Antutu scores in the 74K range), stable (stock rooted 5.1.1), Xposed works with the modules I use, it's a pretty damned good deal overall.
Apple who? Xiaomi what?
>>54408080

Bullshit
For me, a phone's value lays in what it can do and how good it can do it.
For the Down Syndrome Committee it's all about the numbers that are written on the back of the box that the phone came in.
It's the same story again and again. Get over it and embrace your illness.
>>54405176
Normies are not even aware of Xiaomi's existence.
Here in the UK your phone is an iPhone. If not an iPhone it's a Samsung. Other brands simply do not exist.
>>54412357
Since when normies became something to care about, especially in picking your tech? It's empirically proven that people like literal shit.
>>54405523
How does iphone not have 4 g? my shit says 5g. or is that worse osmehow

Xiameme phones do more than iPhones for much, much less
If you're too Down to understand value then you're too retarded
>>54412357
>Normies are not even aware of Xiaomi's existence.
That's because the chinks hardly ever sell their phones outside of China, pretty much every chinkphone you see on /g/, or in anything western, is imported by some guy
That's how much Xiaomi is dominating their own market, they dominate to the point foreigners try to get the phones, and they're even reviewed by western media despite them not being sold at all in the west

This is why Apple is still relevant. At least for the Xiaomi comparison.
>But iphone works better with less hardware!
Yes, its true, but thats not the point. The point is that their hardware is extremely cheap and shitty. Specially those awful screens. Frankly an iphone is worth 400 bucks at most.

This.
Afraid it's one thing that keeps cropping up that fa/g/s here just don't seem to understand.
Maybe because, deeply buried under all your doublethink autism you still have some semblance of practical, technical mindedness.
There is no place for that kind of "the specs are better on X and it's cheaper" kind of pragmatism in the casual world of consumer electronic accouterments.
People want the iphone because other people want it. Because it's costlier, or at least perceived to be so even if there's stuff out there that is more expensive.
It's the brand name that matters, and for the moment and likely for the foreseeable future "Apple" trumps all in the minds of the masses.
>>54411056

chink shit doesn't work in USA — poor class asians buy Xiaomi and wish they could afford Apple because Apple is synonymous with american
>>54421305
Funny how it works everywhere else in the world
>>54421319
that's because the US is run by 3 main carriers, even though the SoC inside Xiaomi phones are capable of working on north american frequency bands, they don't flash the radios for it.
>>54405828
>Xiaomi updates their phones forever. Original Redmi still gets MIUI updates
you mean updates to graphic UI? I want system and security updates.
who cares that some chinks changed colors in stolen photoshop and push it as updates.
>chink phones ever...
>>54421346
That's simple, flash your own radio.
>>54421414
Miui is a little deeper than just graphical ui

I can feel you, this is a very nice phone.
With cyanogen it's even better
>>54420098
What shit hardware do you have? I would never go back to stock android after having tried MIUI, mainly because of the built in festures and their consistency and the looks of MIUI. Im not 12, i dont want a dark looking UI with blue text.
But i guess faggots like you will never ever try something new

Botnet. Fucking botnet sending everything you do back to china.
Stay away from it.

if it scares you so much, just apply for the unlock and flash a cyanogen rom into it.
i bet the people using these china models use windows 10 with Chrome.
wouldn't use them phones even if it was $10....
Sup dudes, wanna get my 13 yr old brother a new phone. He is still using an iphone 4s. I think he deserves a new one, i want to pay no more than 350bucks-3500nok.
What should i get? I was looking at the htc m9 that had a price drop, is it good? The mi5 costs like 500 with tax so and shipping so its outta the question

>>54422518
Why would you need more than 512MB on a phone? I'm running Ubuntu mate on my desktop and it's rarely going over 1GB.
>>54422561
Because google is harvesting everyone's data and most apps are made by curryniggers who haven't done anything but copy-paste their entire life.

Let's not forget the redmi is a quarter the price of the iPhone, or a fifth if you're an ausfag.

>>54412322
>what it can do and how good it can
Which is why I chose an Xperia.
It is waterproofed. It suppots mobile suica payments. And it has a dedicated camera on/shutter button. A long oress instantly turns the camera on, be it with he screen off, locked, or even in an app.
The actice noise canceling support is a nice touch too.
>>54424493
Redmi also has noise cancellation, and for those looking for a waterproof phone there's always budget shit like oukitel. Their k6000 pro is ip64 certified, so you can piss on it and it'll be fine
>>54425191
So three different phones with one of the featurws, but none with all?
Useless.
