Xiaomi Mi Max 3

Advantages: Design. Nice big screen. Battery.

Disadvantages: After updating on the 10th, all the flaws are gone.

Comment: I'm often bugged by mistake

Advantages: The battery life, good sound, and of course a very good display in all respects !!!
Yesterday I updated to 8.1, and although everyone was “scared”, the second day already, and yota & tele2, work fine, like the device itself, and it also keeps the battery)

Disadvantages: Not that there are drawbacks, but until then, it has not yet acquired a bumper and has not stuck the protective glass, the phone very often tries to slip where it is possible !!!) Suspicions fall on smartly designed Chinese, because it can only be beneficial them..

Comment: Friends, in general, if you need a device, you have already seen for 15t.r., budget, which is qualitatively assembled, has very good autonomy (it can be new, but keeps a couple of days, with an average download, three hours of internet, calls day and evening play or film)
And of course, especially to pay attention to fans of the big diagonal, before that was the Huawei medipad 2 with a diagonal of 7 ".., after a short swim, I had to part with it, and the 5 android with 3gb RAM left much to be desired as soon as he took this device in his hands, I realized that she won the golden mean from China)
In general, I recommend the wrong word !!!
Before making a final decision, be sure to support it in your hands, feel it .., because my hands are not small)

Advantages: - There is no monobrow.
- Screen size, pixel density, color rendition
- Ergonomic design, pleasant, not angular forms.
- Clear sound in senheisers.
- Responsive interface, no hangs even with a tightly loaded system. Constantly jump between applications.
- Battery life.
- Price quality.
- There is no single spot !!!

Disadvantages: - Not enough bass.
- Often messing up navigation (possibly a device defect)
- Not enough resolution (not critical)
- Sometimes it loses signal for a few seconds.

Comment: I work in the trade. It is extremely difficult to replace the computer in fact, but constantly looking for an alternative to the iPhone, that would work "on the fly." Before that, I used MiMix2 of the same company, but I didn’t go at all (I didn’t like the design decision to move the front camera down, it’s not convenient in my daily work, hands are rough, hard and not small, I constantly close it).
I like its high battery life ratio, since it doesn’t matter how much memory is in the memory and what processor it has if it dies in half a day.
I don’t play toys on the phone, I don’t watch the video, I have enough for 3 days with a margin.

Advantages: 1. Accu
2. Screen size
3. Enough productive iron, 4Gb of RAM
4. Of course - the MIUI shell (a separate pleasant topic - everything is quite logical, grouped, very much is configured)
5. Price, of course :) Analog is the top versions of Samsung from 50,000 rubles, the latest iPhone versions for ... from 100,000 rubles.
Or Chinese brands, but from 30,000 rubles.
For this money you, of course, will get a more modern processor, games will fly, but ... not 9 hours, like on Mi Max 3 with average settings, but 3 hours: (((

Disadvantages: They are not.
There is nothing to compare. Such large diagonals with such a powerful battery, with a sufficient camera, with ease of operation, and even fit into a shirt / pants pocket ... there are no competitors.
No competitors even for 30-40 000 rubles. In aggregate.
Direct competitors start from ... see above ... 50 000 rub.
:) iPhone 2018 - of course cooler.

Comment: Since mid-September, normal versions of the so-called have already appeared in the MSC. global firmware for sale Mi Max 3 is already in Europe. I myself have waited and bought one.
Distinctive features:
- on the box under the film 2 stickers of acid-red color GLOBAL VERSION
-no hieroglyphs on the factory film on the screen
...THE MAIN THING:
- charging with euro plug. On charging and phone body CE icon
MIUI firmware type MIUI GLOBAL 9.6 Stable 9.6.6.0 (OEDMIFD). This is my option.
This firmware will catch updates, etc.
For almost 2 weeks of use, glitches are not seen with anything. With communication - including

Everyone complaining about the poor quality of communication in normal conditions - bought unofficial versions of a smartphone from China. And from, for example, Moscow sellers (they also bought them there).

Take Euroversion and you will be happy. Or deal with the firmware yourself
For more details - on w3bsit3-dns.com site.

Advantages: After Max 2, I bought it from an online store in Moscow. Approximately 18,500 came out. Like everything!
Cameras are noticeably better than version 2.
He forced himself to switch to gestures instead of buttons, and after 15 minutes he was blushing! Now I’ll never go to subscreen buttons.
In Miui 10, face unlocking works fine, provided it is illuminated.
Lying in hand is more comfortable.
The size of the sensation became smaller by microns, but the screen is visually huge.
The battery in my opinion as in the past, Max holds. 2-3 days. 2 With the Internet, YouTube, movies, video calls and navigator. 3 if without hourly watching movies and navigator.
By the way, the camera began to bulge (to the level with a silicone case) I ordered a protective glass on it. Not a plus most likely, but in the minuses I will write about the firmware ...
A little quieter speaker plays, barely noticeable.

Disadvantages: On firmware above 8.3 communication problems. And tough. Sims fall off. Constantly you are out of range. And you do not call. And from China began to come on firmware 8.6.4 and 8.6.6.0
At first I wanted to take it under warranty, but since I'm constantly sitting on w3bsit3-dns.com I decided to study the issue. As a result, with the firmware, everything was not as it used to be. I will write more details below.
After the firmware, the flaws are gone !!!
Happily like an elephant!

Comment: I am writing this koment, so that after reading it you would not spend half a day searching information on different sites, because The phone is new, not so much of it.
I am writing in my own words)))
Google imposed Xiaomi innovation. Now you can not roll back the firmware to a lower version.
All actions begin with unlocking the bootloader, without this, if there is an error with the firmware, there will be complete trouble. When loading at the bottom of the screen open lock and the inscription unlock.

In our device there are 2 versions of the bootloader (depending on the firmware) # 1 and # 2.
With 1 you can increase by 4, back-no! Each bootloader has a range of firmware versions from 8.1.1 to 9.9.24 for example. They can be stitched in any order without leaving this range.
NOW IMPORTANT !!!
They flashed the firmware outside the permissible range-brick. Loader # 4, flashed with firmware with # 1 brick. It is possible to restore from a brick, but it’s expensive to wait a long time (several weeks) and it’s expensive. Off services are not taken for it, in St. Petersburg I read reviews at least.
I changed 5 firmware, acted strictly according to the instructions, the result is excellent.
I stopped at MiuiPro 8.8.23
The loader updated to 4.
Version of Miui 10 with all the buns, I did not find any glitches in a week.

Results:
I am 100% pleased with the device.
If you take it not the PCT, see the firmware. Problems with communication at all that I tried after 8.3. Ask the seller immediately, they know about this bug, but they are silent to the last. Or check on the spot if you can not search with the necessary firmware. Just dial 15-20 times different numbers, if you dial silence at least 1-2 times, and then after 10-15 seconds the call is dropped, then this is the same bug. Then think for yourself, you have to sew 100%. If it's not a problem to flash everything, just look at the unlock icon, if there is, then it will save vpm 2-3 days.

I think in a couple of months the Chinese will finish it officially.

Once again, this is not an anti review !!! I am delighted with the phone, but you should know about it, so as not to run then without communication through the workshops.

Advantages: The screen is quality and size, small frames (against the background of a huge screen are almost absent), battery volume, quality of materials and assembly, thickness. Face id is a fun feature. It works well for me, I do not know who it is confusing. My wife and I distinguish.

Disadvantages: My firmware is MIUI 10 global 8.8.3. beta. In short, already Russian but very raw. This is not a disadvantage - it will soon be finished and updated, but at the moment it affects the camera, the battery life. Camera (conditionally).

Comment: I will try to give the most objective feedback. I am the owner of the 3rd phone of this brand. The first was a redmi laptop 3 pro. Excellent machine, but the camera caused sadness. Then there was mi5s. The model is not very popular, it is not at all clear why the device is excellent. My wife, Mi 6. I lost my mi5 and urgently needed a replacement. There was no time for tests and meditation. Briefly read the features and choose between MI 8se and this. I'll write about CE right away - red is pink, gold is yellow-pink. These colors are for girls only. Did not like the shape and back cover. Mi 8 dear, and what's the point? I thought. According to the reviews, the camera is not much better than this device, the module from Sony is used the same. Pixels do not solve for a long time. What we have in practice is an average camera. In reality, in the dark and with artificial light, it is simply weak. Mi 6 tears her to shreds. I am sure that the issue is partly in the firmware, but the fact is a fact. Mi 8 has a camera that is simply better. In daylight, shoots perfectly, portraits are also good. The size was somewhat embarrassed initially, but a matter of habit. Watching videos and generally using them is a pleasure. Minus - it is inconvenient to write with one hand to the voip. The rest of the size - only a plus. The battery holds 2 days of dense use. I think with the finishing of the firmware, you can increase this parameter. And if you cut down a location when it is not needed and regularly clear open applications, you can pull it out for 3 days. I don’t see much point about performance. What is the difference how many points he will score in an antitu, etc. Games and videos - no problem. Multitasking is good. The coming year will be enough for 3. Do you have a percentage of 636 or 845? In my opinion more marketing. Although he used to be terribly zamorochenny on the gland. In general, the device is excellent, modern, stands out for the size of the screen and battery. The remaining parameters are good. For its value of 18 thousand - a great option.I think it will take its niche tightly.
