Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro

Advantages: The main advantages of this device is a high build quality and excellent hardware. A lot of devices went through my hands, but this first one, where the radio module works fine in all network modes, quickly switches between frequencies and catches the network perfectly. Loud conversational speaker, excellent external speaker, fullhd ips matrix with even illumination, 6-core snapdragon 650 with hardware support for 24bit hi-res audio and 4k video.

Disadvantages: High probability to get the device with the "left" firmware. It is necessary to check and if there is a "left", then it is necessary to reflash to the official one in order to receive updates.

Comment: For better performance of the radio module, you need to separately flash the necessary modem. All information on w3bsit3-dns.com.
To shoot 4k video, you need to install another camera, for example proshot.
To play 24bit hi-res audio, you need to install the poweramp player.

Advantages: Well. Here I bought this miracle. I read and watched reviews for a long time, knew the pros ... Well, the most important thing is that it does not slow down, its parrots are not important to me, but still, it’s so great when the phone responds immediately to everything! Well, do not forget that the phone is primarily for communication, and he does it perfectly! And I can hear, and I'm fine. Infused by everyone, all alerts come. Very flexible system.

Disadvantages: Well, there is probably an ambiguous opinion on the camera. When I bought the phone, they explained to me that the quality of the camera depends on the firmware "on one the quality is excellent, on the other not" is so-so. Not the background of filming sunsets, but it still happens better ... waiting for another firmware may change

Comment: They will sum it up ... I bought it expensively, for China and Russia, for 15,500. Worth the choice, either bu sams 5 or lying 3, but I decided not to take someone else's aspiring phones, but take a new one for myself. Buying happy, even very. Well, I do not know what could be cooler than a phone for such a price with the current course ... I can not but advise you to take ... cool!

Advantages: Autonomy (!!!), screen, shell miyu, the work of a fingerprint scanner, the presence of international firmware with the presence of the Russian language and updates over the air

Disadvantages: the sound of the speaker and its location, the average camera, the location of the fingerprint scanner (behind)

Comment: The device is gorgeous, all its shortcomings are so small that it is more than compensated by the cheapness of the device. International firmware got up on the device in 15 minutes, everything that was possible was tuned, the camera is the weak point of almost any Chinese, you need to be ready for this - the rest is a purely individual matter - design, arrangement of elements, buttons - you get used to everything. In the case, the device sits tighter, in itself a bit slippery, and the screen is too big for some, especially women with tiny hands, but the eyes do not hurt after using it. In general, you can safely take, you will not regret, although there are competitors. Here the choice is yours

Advantages: The advantages include design - it is better to take a transparent case, without a slip case, build quality, BATTERY, iron power. The total cost is very attractive, especially as of May 2016.

Disadvantages: Well, especially no cons, the communication module is one, if you talk to one sim - the second one is not available. I bought for work, it costs two sims, very often people do not dial the second one, because as I speak the first. If you use two sims, you can make a sim sandwich and a flash, as I did, 15 minutes and everything is ready, although there is a risk of snatching contacts and getting a repair. And do not overpay for 32GB. It outputs sound to the car stereo via AUX from the 10th attempt, poking without end until it is defined as a device.

Comment: I use the phone for a month. Prior to that, he was the owner of xiaomi redmi note 2, and before him meizu m1 note. When acquired rn2 was upset because of the battery that needs to be charged every day. I'm used to maze once every two days. The camera after the maze also upset, not that it is directly worse, but the maze is much more beautiful and there are manual settings. Now about the rn3pro battery fire! Two days is easy with a screen of 6-8 hours, there are no lags as there were none on previous phones. There was a left-hand firmware, but the processor frequency on it was 1.4 gyrts., It was 1.8 gyrts sewed on the globalku. As a result, the autonomy suffered a bit. The camera is quite normal, noisy photos, even in sunny weather. I add a link to examples of photos, added photos in the room and on the street in different weather https://fotki.yandex.ru/users/zaborik08/album/509048/ I hope that soon there will be a globalka with full access to the manual settings of the camera. Phone very satisfied!

Advantages: I do not chase for antutu points, and I need simple things from the phone - so that it does not stupid per gram in everyday tasks.
He does not tupit, does not think, does not slow down a millisecond, GPS finds it instantly. Yandex navigator with him is a pleasure, not heated.
Minimize the call and quickly google something - also without brakes.
Very nice in the hand, does not slip.
I was pleased with the matte film on the screen without unnecessary protruding tails, I carry it with me until I come out of china glass, its only drawback is that this film is too matte for the front camera, nothing is visible.
Memory card! This is a huge plus. Put in place of the second SIM card.
Battery - VERY active use from 6 am to 22 pm was enough. Surfing, half-day navigator, VKontakte, telegrams and photos. And there are 31 percent left.
2 GB of RAM is enough, I could not use it all with everyday applications. (Navigator, VC, browser, telegram, mail)

Disadvantages: There is a usb cable in the box, but there is no European plug, the bundle comes flat - American.
The firmware that came from the store. 7.1.99.99, the widgets do not work, the fingerprint scanner menu does not work, the font size does not work, if you try to enter any of the listed menus - fly to the main screen or just a white screen. Untranslated.

Comment: I rebooted the device according to the instructions of w3bsit3-dns.com on the global stable - and now I am completely satisfied! Everything works and the Russian language is. Stitched on win7 x64, on win10 did not work. The whole procedure took 1 hour of reading, understanding and fighting fear :) and 5 minutes of the flashing process itself.
It is difficult to control with one hand, especially for left-handers (the touch button "back" is on the right), but I'm used to it. The white color is much less eye catching when the phone stands as a navigator in the car.

Advantages: The phone is excellent, performance is amazing (antutu 76k), appearance, screen (there is a color rendition setting), a battery that lasts two days. I bought my wife, she thought that the 5.5 "screen would be huge, but now she really likes it, she got used to it quickly, since the dimensions of the device itself are not that big.

Disadvantages: slippery, you need a case.

Comment: Those who write that the camera is not very, in the settings you need to select the quality of the pictures - High, the camera is not worse than on my service galaxy s5.
Delivered with the installed "curve" firmware 7.1.99.99, but following the instructions on w3bsit3-dns.com, I sewed to the global 7.1.17, where there is Russian, updates come through the air, at the moment it is 7.1.18.

Advantages: Price / features are the best on the market at the moment.

It is already possible to install international firmware with Russian support and updates over the air.

Nice to hold in your hands. Qualitatively assembled.

Convenient LED indicator (missed calls, sms, etc., you can adjust the color for each type of event).

The fingerprint scanner was also convenient for unlocking.

Disadvantages: no nfc.

slippery body (about as teflon pan).

Comment: Justifies every ruble, even with the current course. I think it will be very popular.

Advantages: holds a charge for a long time, a good processor works without brakes, the screen is visible in the sun, there is a global firmware on it. There is a Russian and it is updated by air.

Disadvantages: Yuzb side would like in the center so it is not convenient to charge in the car in the holder. There is nothing more to complain about

Comment: before it was lg g4 I really liked it, but it was discharged in two hours. I sold it. So this one is not inferior in everyday use. more than lg g4

Advantages: Bright screen 1920 * 1080
The speed of work is fantastic - 74000-73000 by Antutu
Decent 4050 battery (up to 2 work days)
Excellent shell from Xiaomi
Pile of accessories available

Disadvantages: The back cover is scratched from the slightest contact with any surface.

Comment: Bought for 14,500 - for the money you can not buy anything better.

Advantages: Work speed
Viewing angles
Capacious battery
Decent camera
Frequent updates
High-quality assembly
Fingerprint sensor
Does not heat up
Android 6.0 is planned
4K video shooting

Disadvantages: Contents of delivery
While the price of goods in Moscow is high, just started to arrive on the shelves
Firmware with the Russian language makes it impossible to receive weekly updates via wi-fi

Comment: Excellent machine, performance at a very decent level. In antutu gaining 73000-76000 parrots.
The camera shoots at the level of iPhone 5s, the main plus is shooting video in 4K (google camera)
By the end of the day, the phone lives calmly, 15-25% remains with active use.
Very confident reception, works with our LTE frequencies
The fingerprint sensor works very quickly and is located on the back of the phone under the camera, it is much more convenient for me to unlock than it was on my old iPhone 5s.
I don’t play games especially, so I took a version with 2GB of RAM, browsers, YouTube, telegrams, instagrams are enough, I launched tanks for the sake of interest - it does not slow down at max speeds, although I think gamers should take version 32g / 3gb - purely just in case.

The phone costs 205-210 dollars, if ordered directly, Moscow sellers sell for 240-250 dollars. Since the cheat is small, you can buy in Moscow.

Russian firmware is easy to install, look for the phone on the forum w3bsit3-dns.com. However, this installation of the Russian language makes it impossible to receive wireless updates.

Also, if a 5.5-inch screen seems too big, it may be worth waiting for a new flagship from xiaomi mi5 with a diagonal of 5.15 or more processor, RAM, etc., gaining 110,000 points in antutu)
