I honestly can not believe what i am seeing right now. I am so excited i am getting goosebumps. EVEN WRITING ABOUT IT MAKING ME SHIVER DAMN IT!(See, i wrote it all with caps lock on, excitement is real). Since i am one hell of a budget phone lover. This is like a pure beast of a phone for the price of a generic smartphone with quad core processor and 5 inch screen. But Xiaomi Mi3 has the specs of a 40,000 Rupees flagship! I can recommend this phone even without touching/reviewing it.
It’s quite clear now that Xiaomi isn’t in India to waste time or to play around. It means business. It also seems like they understand the budget model well in India. That’s why they are launching their first phone at such an aggressive pricing. It is basically here to make a killing. Mark your calenders guys this is not going to last long in stocks. I am so going to buy it and i am so going to keep it.

Xiaomi actually paid attention to the battery department too as you can see it has a 3000mAh battery. Sadly this phone has a downside too, i thought it’s flawless, the downside is, it doesn’t have expandable memory and the memory is limited to 16GB out of which you will get around 13GB to use according to Xiaomi’s website. Xiaomi’s homemade UI dubbed as MIUI is actually very good. It’s so smooth and different that you won’t believe you are using Android. You’d think it’s some else OS. I have used it and i liked it.
