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: Battery, screen, memory capacity, type C, body entirely of metal

Disadvantages: Communication problem, sizes are not for everyone

Comment: Wonderful phone. An improved version of the already successful Redmi Note 5. The difference in price between them is about 4-5 thousand, and it is explained by the fact that the Mi Max 3 has a full metal case, a Type C connector, a larger screen and a battery. And so the phones are very similar and then you decide which one to choose. I started to get used to the size of Mi Max 3 after a couple of days, but I confess that the dimensions of Note 5 are closer to me. And so, if we discard this moment, I believe that Mi Max 3 is the best, most successfully balanced phone from Xiaomi and generally on the market. Before him, I kept Pocofone and say that mono-brow is a wild horror, from which you forget even about Snapdragon 845.And all I wanted to do with Pocofone is to sell it as soon as possible. This is a good phone, but I don’t digest the mono-brow. Therefore, if I were told to choose between Pocofone and Mi Max 3, I would not have thought even a second which one to choose.
And yet, Mi Max has a couple of weird moments. When you call, the connection is drizzling - I hear, but they do not hear me. Sometimes the connection is completely broken. They say Miui 10 Beta solves this problem. I did not bet, so I do not know. I hope this is true, otherwise it will be very disappointing to sell the phone. I also did not like the quality of the paint body. I slightly, very slightly touched the table with the phone case and the paint peeled off at this place. WTF? I do not think this is critical, but for some reason I recall the 2010 Nokia N8 with an anodized case, in which the paint certainly did not tear away from contact with wood. Anyway. We mainly go with covers. Otherwise, everything is fine. Batteries, honestly, lasts for one busy day. No more. But he holds the charge longer than any other Xiaomi. Summing up, I would say that the phone is really very good. He has a great reserve. Better take version 6/128. Memory will never be superfluous. 6 GB of RAM has a big start. 4 GB will be nervous soon

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 camera is several times better than mi max 2.
The display is better, more contrast, more height than mi max 2, but already 2 mm

Disadvantages: The quality of mobile communication is generally terrible

Comment: I am the owner of mi max 2 official for the Russian Federation, bought a year ago. And there is also a mi max 2 Chinese, bought for a job for managers, both devices are trouble free. I waited for mi max 3, bought 28.08 a phone mi max 3, I didn’t want to wait from China, bought it at Savyolovo market for 18,500 rubles, gave a guarantee and a check, after two days of use I discovered sensor damage, as they say no one insured

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.

Advantages: Screen, camera, battery, full screen mode, no buttons on duty.

Disadvantages: There are no firmwares from Russian-language localizers yet ... probably will appear at the end of August. And another thing: the power button is now below, almost in the middle of the phone, which strains me, because you constantly touch it, and the phone opens the power menu, or goes into reboot ... maybe it's a matter of habit, we'll see.

Comment: Who says that this is the same thing, that Max and Max 2, nonsense is another phone, much more convenient, more advanced, and according to the sensations, his “shovel” of his predecessors disappeared. Take the fans will not regret in
The price is really too high for Russia, but I think it will soon fall, because their mass import began on August 15.
Who is afraid of horror stories, which scare noobs on the Internet with all, about the allegedly self-made firmware, do not believe, excellent global firmware. I am satisfied personally.
