The Xiaomi smartphone is for many, the best Chinese smartphone. Its outstanding power and attractive price make the Xiaomi Mi3 object of desire of many fans to new technologies. Find out all about it in this complete analysis of the Xiaomi Mi3.
Unlike the previous Xiaomi, MI3 is the best you can find in a Chinese mobile with android, not only in performance but also in materials, finishes and quality;
Analysis
The first aspect in which we look at the analysis of the Xiaomi MI3 is in the materials. Far from the idea of ??”China Mobile” we have the same quality of the Xiaomi MI3 is one of the best built phones we had in hand. And we say having it on the table along with an iPhone 5S.
The first thing that attracts attention is the construction of your screen, which exceeds the upper edge creating a slight step that is noticeable to the touch and gives it some personality.
In addition, the rear metal finish makes us the impression of being in a luxury, which have given us very few phones, android phones and talk about or other systems.
This obviously has its downside, as the inability to remove the battery, although it is something that we used in the high range where LG and Samsung all except opt for this idea.
Weight and Dimensions
The Xiaomi MI3 is a mobile with dimensions of 144 x 73.6 x 8.1 mm, somewhat larger in the hand, at least for those who seek to use the mobile to a hand, something important. One of the drawbacks that we see is that despite having a spectacular display of 5.1 “has no buttons on it, some need less space in the case to accommodate the haptic system buttons.
However the weight and pleasantly surprised us is that although it is to the 145 gr does not give us the feeling of being a heavy device. Remember that there are already several phones that exceed 200 gr because its dimensions.
Power and Performance
The power of this device is beyond doubt as we shall see in the analysis of benchmarks we have done. It features the star processor 2013 that is still used in 2014, the Snapdragon 800, in this case at a frequency of 2.3 GHz along with 2 GB of RAM.
It has an internal storage of 16 GB or 32, but not with a memory card slot but we can expand its capacity with a USB.
Connectivity is one of the most complete point of this phone as it has all expectations. In networks have HSPA + and LTE, the type is its WiFi 802.11 b / g / n, and Bluetooth 4.0 LE is. We may also use your microUSB 2.0 with OTG. Of course no shortage of GPS chips, NFC and 3.5mm jack for headphones.
Screen
MI3 Xiaomi screen is the main character. A panel created with IPS LCD technology with good viewing angles and decent sensitivity panels created by Sharp. It has a full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels with a diagonal of 5 “gives us no less than 441 dots per inch.
In everyday usage the screen is spectacular and only regret that Xiaomi dare not implement it the system buttons, since having this diagonal and use more area for haptic buttons increases the size of the mobile too.
We have many parameters to modify the same, since the brightness to the color temperature passing through an optional control gloves.
Camera
The Xiaomi MI3 has two cameras, a rear with Sony Exmor sensor of 13 megapixels and a 2 megapixel front, both able to record video FullHD.
The quality of the rear camera is spectacular, the front camera also yields decent results considering it only has 2 Mpx but even in low light conditions the result is acceptable. From the results seem to apply a mild processing to faces to give a final processed image but improved.
Battery
The battery of this mobile is no less than 3050 mAh, using the same size and that gives us one of the best we have seen autonomies. With average use, we can have up to two days of autonomy and if such is the case of our analysis we use mostly on wifi though several hours outside taking pictures and uploading to social networks closer to three.
As we always say these figures are highly variable and depend on the use of each person, the type of navigation, the screen brightness and many more parameters.
We have indicated that gives up to 6 hours of screen time although in our case they have been almost 3 ½ hours, while talk of a mixed standby for almost 72 hours.
Front End
One of the most interesting features of MI3 is MIUI using a modification of Android with a very particular system expands on the aesthetic.
Runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and it seems that we have upgrades to new versions of Android but in return we will update the system weekly to improve flow and performance of the same.
Preloaded Applications
Like in the rest of the Chinese mobile company MIUI interface integrates a lot of preinstalled applications also cannot be removed easily.
Unique Aspects
In this section we will focus on improvements leading MIUI settings on native Android version of the AOSP, and of implementing its Google Nexus.
Display: you can choose the color temperature for the screen, set a screensaver, change the font size.
Notification bar: we can choose to have one or two displays notifications.
Customizing buttons: can assign a function to each haptic button to throw it down when you leave.
Hardware configuration: LED, headphones, the volume buttons have adjustments to perform actions depending on when or what to do with them.
Conclusion
The Xiaomi MI3 is one of the best phones of today. If we wanted an Android phone to be the best in design perhaps we opted for the Huawei Ascend P6. If we would look at the more powerful the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 If we were looking for something with great value in high-end, our choice would be the Nexus 5 But if we sought the middle ground of the three parameters we have chosen, design, price and power certainly our choice would be the Xiaomi MI3.
