Xiaomi Mi3 comes with Snapdragon 800 chipset, 2GB RAM, 5 inches full HD display, 13MP camera with full HD recording, 3050 mAh battery. If you are wondering why i am telling you all this? then get this. Even with all those top of the line specs Xiaomi Mi3 does not cost 30,000 or 40,000 Rupees. You all know that it costs only 14,000 Rupees. And that is the reason why i wrote “more than you could ask for”.

I have seen quite a few Xiaomi Mi3 smartphones that crossed 35,000 mark in Antutu. But for some reason, my Mi3 was never able to cross it, the highest it could reach is around 30,000. You can see that in the screenshot below. Even after having more than 500MB RAM free, it couldn’t cross the the 35,000 mark. In GFX bench it performed better than all of the smartphones, i’ve ever tested. Then again i have never tested a smartphone with Snapdragon 800 before.

Xiaomi Mi3 Unboxing
I had two choices to make this video. A simple plain one like i always do or slightly different. I selected slightly different. Because everybody else has already made that plain kind of unboxing video anyway. But, since i selected to do that ‘different’ kind of unboxing. I missed out on giving any kind of info on the device. So, i am going to tell you about the device in brief here.

HTC Desire 616 Review
HTC Desire 616 is one of those phones that is caught between ongoing war between local Indian smartphone manufacturers and Chinese smartphone manufacturers. They are both trying their best to gather as much ground as possible with aggressive pricing in India. If this HTC Device was launched say like 6 months before at the same price. It might have been a big hit. But now it feels like a stale product. It gives, been there done that kind of feel. Even the term “octa-core” doesn’t sound exciting anymore. All thanks to brands of our own and neighbour country that are spoiling us.
HTC Desire 616 benchmark performance was pretty decent as expected from its octa core processor and powerful GPU. Although it does have the powerful octa-core Mediatek MTK 6592 chipset. But for some reason HTC decided to down clock or under clock it to 1.4GHz from its default clock rate which is 1.7GHz and in some phones like Micromax Canvas Gold it is over clocked to 2GHz. As a result of that HTC Desire 616 scored a little less in benchmarks than those phones.

HTC Desire 616 Unboxing
HTC Desire 616 is a smartphone that is destined to be overlooked at least by Indian consumers. Because they are already being spoilt by several Indian smartphone companies. Which not only offer the same octa core processor but also much more for more or less the same price. Like 2GB RAM, more internal storage, bigger battery, better screen, bigger camera(in terms of megapixel). Comparatively, HTC Desire 616 comes with only 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage.
Micromax Canvas HD Plus A190 is a decent smartphone. It’s over all price to performance ratio is pretty good. There are some downsides too in this phone. But you really can not expect everything at 12,000 Rupees. This 10,000 – 15,000 Rupees price bracket is so active in India right now. People are expecting more and more from less. Less is the money here. Canvas HD Plus somehow delivers on that.
