Great thanks I'm doing the dhl way too so did it take long to arrive and any trouble setting it up with the Chinese apps.

Took 9 days only! No problems setting up, even all Google apps and Facebook installed..however I did get caught for 40 euro customs.

Its on aliexpress. Xiaomi redmi note 3 pro prime, 3gb ram 32gb ROM

the pro is still better than the prime according to reviews.the prime has a very bad camera.id go with the redmii note 3 pro as its only 150 eur

How does this compare to the oneplus x, nexus 5x, and moto g4 plus? Looking to get my gf a sub €300 phone for xmas but I can get something else too if I opt for one of these. Any recommendations would be really helpful

/except the oneplus3 id say it has better specs than those mentioned but correct me if im wrong.for the 148 eur u really cant go wrong.for the 300 u could get 2 for that price.i just bought mine there

Thats the feeling I'm getting from round here but I just wanted to check. Seems like it'd be mad not to buy this instead of the competitors at €250-300..

Is there another phone that I should be comparing this to in terms of specs?

This is why xiaomi are the apple of the east lol.well I'm using a 5s and for the 150 I'm getting better cpu.battery. bigger phone and better memory and more I'd say If I looked at the specs of both side by side.amd my 5s is worth about 200 maybe more 2nd hand.its a win win really

Sooo I take it pop up ads are malware? Just seen one on the one I just unboxed.


hmmm....

Where did you order from?

Check your MIUI version, possibly a vendor rom.

settings - about phone - MIUI Version.


https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/wiki/miui/vendor

Thanks, I had already flashed to the official rom from http://en.miui.com/download.html so I cant say. going by what your link says, at least it took the rom without problems eh?

All looks ok with no trace of ads.

What are people's thoughts on the camera? After using it a bit more now, I think it sucks baws, but then I may be a bit spoiled in that regard. As a photographer who uses a full frame dslr with insane IQ, any phone cam is going to seem 'meh' BUT i never directly compare, I know the limits a tiny sensor has. I had the S6 for a while though, and loved the camera on there. Very good for a mobile phone cam, probably one of the best. The Redmi note 3 pro's camera just fails in some ways. In anything but very good lighting conditions the images are mucky, soft, washed out. It's a shame, would be the ideal overall phone for the money otherwise. No other major complaints.

You simply get what you pay for, simple as that. Look at the price of the mi note then look at the price for the s7, truth be told all sammy have now is how good they can take a pic but that won't last forever.

In so many phones out there the sensors are mostly the same, Sony's, it's amazing to see such different results from the same sensors on different phones. (not in sammy's case however) and what phones do is optimise and post-process the hell out of the pics to make it 'look' pleasing to the viewer is the secret sauce they all want. It's less about it 'being' a good pic and more about software making it 'look' better/pleasing to the end user... and this is where most other phones fall down as they just provide the sensors and leave it up to the user to fix... and we call them crap. Granted you get better sensors and optics you get better pics but it mostly comes down to software fooling us all.

Not always the case. Phones in a similar price bracket, like the lenovo K5 note have much better image quality. It can be done on budget.

Now, I did mention I am spoiled by dslr quality, but I know better than to compare the to phone-cam IQ. I don't need a phone cam to do anything fancy whatsoever. There's different kinds of crap though. The images from the RMN3 are 'ok' at best, even by mid level phone cam standards. Other phone cams can do it better for the same money, they are all I am directly comparing it to tbh.

I don't see many phone cams beating the S6 in the dept, they just got it bang on with that one. And you can get an S6 nowadays for about 370 [hint, hint I have one for sale! on adverts]

Does the S6 give you RAW files? I am not a fan of post processing and being able to export in raw would be all i really need as bet your bottom dollar I can extract a better image than what most phones will show me...


No interest in buying you understand just asking. My One plus 3 is all the cam I need.
