Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 16GB 4G Phablet

My first impressions on unboxing my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is what a quality product it is, it has a real high end feel to the phone. The fingerprint scanner works flawlessly and you can store more than one fingerprint so it can be unlocked using either hand.
The screen is a delight to look at and the ability to 'shrink' the screen using the 'one handed' mode makes the phone a joy to use.
The camera gives impressive results and smooth HD video recording.
Battery life is also impressive, I've had my phone for 3 days now and under normal usage for browsing the internet, some game playing etc it hasn't needed to recharged yet!
MIUI is a friendly interface and very stylishly designed which again makes the unit feel very high end.
Google Play was installed on my phone and works straight from the box, I'm also glad to say there was very little 'bloatware' installed.
If you are thinking of buying this phone, don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed.
Excellent value for money, excellent design & a joy to use.....what more do you want!

Suggestion

The phone is quite slippery due to the aluminium body, but that, to me is a worthwhile compromise for a fantastic looking phone.

This is the best phone I ever bought at this price. Display 5.5 full hd, really big and extremely attractive to watch, the colors are stunning and it's big enough to enjoy a movie. the audio is great, loud and clear and with good basses. The camera, 13MPX the main one, makes great pics and movies, fingerprint recognition is fast and easy, the battery lasts almost 2 days with a stressful usage (teenagers knows very well how to stress a smartphone...). The phone has a read mode, and it comes with free Kindle app with 9 free books per time (once you've read them, you can erase and download other 9 books for free). GPS, WIFI and BLUTOOTH all tested and working, the wifi is impressive. I was expeting it to be a little heavy, due to the 4000MAH battery, but actually it's not! And i even added a bumper case, but still the phone it's not heavy at all. Body phone is made by metal, and MIUI (customization of Android) just gives the phone that simpliy wonderful touch, making it the best choice you can make.

just one con: I waited 6 weeks for it... but hey, I live in Italy, I didn't want to pay the shipment... that was my choice. :)

- Excellent price compared to the quality;
- Considering the overall performances an oustanding phone;
- When the product arrived everything was already set-upped: I didn't even have to download the Play Store;
- For the whole time (after the product was sent), GearBest assistence has always answered all the questions about the product and the shipment in a very short period of time;
- In the picture I took you can actually see the whole content of the box (apart from the phone itself, since I used it to take the picture and the show the camera-quality!).

Suggestion

- It actually took more than the 25 working-days to get to the destination (Italy).

Good shipping time and packaging was also solid. Once my Xiaomi Note 3 arrived, everything was up and running in no time. Didn't need to bother with the manual at all. It's the perfect size as well (5.5" FHD display) in terms of one handed use and comfort. It's not excessively large like some monster phablets and equally it's not so small that it's impractical. You'll get a lot of mileage out of this. Stunning quality, incredible display and ultrafast at everything - from multi-tasking, gaming to streaming, this baby does it all. Better than most brand name flagships IMO :)

Hard to say anything bad about this. It far exceeded even my own expectations.

Отличный телефон. Качественный экран, уверенный сигнал приема сети, достаточное время работы от аккумулятора (около 2х дней), что редко для телефонов с таким экраном и параметрами. Хороший сканер отпечатком, ошибок в распознавании нет. Громкий динамик, хорошая камера. Удобный встроенный ИК-передатчик для управления бытовой техникой. Спутники находит быстро и стабильно держит в движении, как пешком, так и в автомобиле.

Немного кривой перевод на русский язык в прошивке "из коробки", решается перепрошивкой за несколько минут.
