Xiaomi Mi Note 3

Advantages: 1. The speed of the device
2. Speed ​​wi-fi
3. The speed of the mobile Internet
4. NFC - contactless battle with cash
5. Operating mode in two applications simultaneously (split-screen)

Disadvantages: 1. Lack 3.5 headphone jack
2. Chinese charging plug

Comment: I used Xiomi Redmi 4 Prime, but decided to upgrade.
1. The shell, as usual on top. The new version has a split screen mode for simultaneous operation in 2 applications, as well as a built-in video recording screen mode.
2. Very pleased with the dual camera and the front 16-pixel. Bought with priority on the camera. Video in high quality + photo. Excellent mode "portrait", in fact, this is an emulation of a SLR camera. As far as I understand, it works on the basis of a dual camera (the first camera takes the focus of the first plan, the second camera makes the background defocus - and you get a clear portrait with a blurred background).
3. The battery works for about 1.5 days of workload: for 2-3 hours of YouTube, wifi is on 50% of the time, 10% of the 4G time, 20-30 minutes of telephone conversations. 30-50 shots in HDR mode and video recording 5-10 minutes outside (at sub-zero temperatures).
4. Immediately estimate the memory size: 120 GB. The plan should be enough for 3 months of photo and video shooting. My previous Xiomi with 16 GB was clogged about 2 weeks later.
5. Fast charging! Checked several times with a stopwatch: 30 minutes from 1% to 50% and in about 60-70 minutes from 0% to 100%. That guys is very cool.
6. Surprisingly fast wireless networks (Wifi and 4G). Catching the Internet from the same router speed is higher than the previous Xiomi. A mobile Internet pulls YouTube in 1080 without hangs.
Among the shortcomings: it’s very uncomfortable to live without a 3.5 headphone jack. The kit gave an adapter, but it's very funny to come somewhere, get a headset and remember that the adapter is at home. Now I will add a review and go watch wireless. Also uncomfortable Chinese charging plug, which is solved by an adapter, but which can also be forgotten at home.
Ready to forgive Xiomi all. For 23 thousand turned out still a masterpiece.I do not recommend buying any of my friends, so that only I would go with him)) All good mood!

Advantages: Great phone, spent some time on assessing the market for phones with similar characteristics. The choice fell on this phone and I am very pleased with it, I ordered it on Aliexpress, before that I did not buy anything there and it was a risk. And to my happiness, everything works well.
Great camera, no brakes. Bright screen. I was afraid that there was no space for a memory card, but now I understand that 128 GB, this will be enough for me for a long time. Bought in blue, and I advise everyone to look great!

Disadvantages: For 2 months of use, I did not find it.

Comment: There was an opportunity to buy an iPhone and 7 and 8 and even an iPhone X, but decided to spend time and figure out what the topic was, despite the brands, but only by its technical characteristics, plus it strained in the iPhone that it turned off in the cold. This phone is not terrible cold. Charging for 2 days is enough, the only thing that I do not play toys on it, I actively use all other applications.
Phone for those who do not want and do not like to overpay. Everything has its price.

Advantages: Everything flies, wi-fi has reached fantastic speeds. For 1.5 days, it is stable enough.

Disadvantages: The Camera has no optical stabilization (it is solved programmatically during video processing), it removes poorly in the dark. But not to say that the camera is bad, the video makes an excellent and photo.

Comment: Take it, super.

Advantages: Camera
Screen
Shell

Disadvantages: No minijack
non removable battery

Comment: Long chose between mi note 3, 1 + 5T, galaxy s8 and iphone7. Important was the camera. On iron, I do not care when choosing a phone. I looked through a bunch of reviews, read a lot of articles. Written off with the authors of the reviews. And stumbled upon a camera rating on DxOmark. Screenshot attached. Oneplus is no more - his camera is much worse. IPhone was dropped due to ayios. Samsung - did not like the design. I doubted for a long time and bought a laptop3. And I tell you guys - the phone is fire. I do not regret sikuns. My wife has an iphone 7plus. For two days I went to compare cameras and could not believe that the 23000 phone was making the phone for 60,000. When my wife saw the portrait mode on my laptop, I was even a little upset. The iPhone made the portrait worse. And the front-end here is very clear. Again, better iPhone 7plus.
In general, I recommend!

Advantages: Adequate price, high-quality assembly, nice design, fast-working fingerprint, high performance. Heavy games come with ease. Tanks - fps not lower than 50 in the heaviest scenes. Enough for a long time.

Disadvantages: The camera is rather weak, but consider the price and it is not a camera phone.

Comment: Moved from Samsung Galaxy Note 5 to Xiaomi. Nothing to regret. The only thing that strains is the IPS matrix after a long use of AMOLED and SuperAMOLED, as well as a lower quality photo.

Advantages: Nice. The blue version looks just awesome. Very smart. Feels a little faster than Mi Max 2, but just a little bit.

Disadvantages: The screen is a little yellow. Having a number of Mi Max 2, the difference is very noticeable. However, without comparison, it is obvious that the white color in it is rather pale yellow.

Comment: The Plaintain Reader application on this phone successfully reads the Plantain transport cards. Payment via NFC works normally only on firmware 9.1.4.0. At 9.1.3.0, which was originally in the phone that came from China initially, NFC payment does not work - the phone does not respond to the presentation to the terminal.
