So I've decided tomove on from my Lumia 640 and Xaomi phones look really decent. I mainly think about basic version but Pro does offer more RAM and memory storage. Here's the usecase: MS Office apps, Youtube and social networks, navigator with cached maps, Hearthstone, Fallout Shelter and a couple of rhytm-games. I'm not a maniac for mobile games, however, having a potential for something heavier would be nice. Photos will go to Onedrive, music is also kept online, so for the most part it's only apps in the memory. Will Pro really give me an advantage? Higher price isn't really a problem. However, Pro was just released less than 2 weeks ago so there are no ROMs. I don't need much of a ROM, but I would definitely like Russian translation. I can go without it however, if the phone proves to be really good otherwise. Are there any other major problems with default firmware? And is there any info about progress on ROMs for 3 Pro?
If you can afford PRO version, there shouldn't be any doubt.

I just changed from Redmi 3 to 3 Pro for my 2nd phone. And I'm quite happy with Pro version. With 3G Ram, Finger and 32GB Int storage, it give you much better experience than Redmi 3
10x, seems what PRO version is better.
It's no brainer really, for ROM, it's the same as Redmi 3, and by the last developer ROM, fingerprint and storage/RAM issue is fixed , if you need stable, you just use the modified ROM that comes with the phone for the moment. As for language problem, there's a partial solution at http://en.miui.com/thread-262496-1-1.html that works without rooting or unlocking bootloader.

I also think that rom thing isn't a problem. Because the redmi 3 Pro is different with the raam and (32Go) nand memory, fingerprint (just another feature, not neccessary to run the roms) (I think we call this memory like this, right?) but all the rest is the same.
If the price isn't a problem, you should consider taking the pro. Long term thinking, it is better IMO to have more ram to avoid lag, slowness.
I'm sorry If what I say is a little bit confusing, I still have to exerce myself to talk about theses technical things in english !

Crazy, I love this phone, there is nothing I would change, even the lower power results in better battery.
I bought the mega for the screen, and was worried I would miss the S3, well nope, I am so happy with this phone I am not even looking at the tiny Note 3.
i will buy note3 and keep mega 6.3

I am a huge screen fan that's why I love Mega 6.3 , if by any chance I can use Galaxy gear with Mega I wouldn't opt Note 3.
But sometimes I feel that my Note 2 is way faster than Mega
Sent from my GT-I9200 using xda premium
I went to the AT&T store today and played with the Mega 6.3 for the first time. HOLY COW that thing is ginormous! I really did love the screen and that of course is the main reason anyone would buy this phone.
The only problem I had was that it seemed kinda laggy. It was running a store demo program that you had to exit to play with the actual device. I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
I really do want to love the Mega. I mean, I opened up a Google Play Book and it looked so beautiful reading on that massive screen. But if it is gonna be lagging, then I might have to go with the Note 3.
@Warnahly: Maybe i'll buy your Mega if I decide to go that route (if it's still around).
If they made a 6 inch note 3 I would leave the mega. Until then...... Mega is perfect for everything I do. I feel like i9200 performs better than the i9205..... weird.

What he said!
Also, regarding day to day performances of 6.3, I can't say there is anything to report one way or another.
I'm coming from the Nexus 4, which was really smooth, and the Mega isn't as smooth but it certainly isn't a bother.
Also I don't play too much 3D games (got my PC for that ) but for example, if you go highest settings on Riptide GP 2 it is really barely playable. So that's something to know if you do like that. Maybe when and if we get CM it will get better.
And lastly, my wife got the Note 2, and damn it's small . I'm sure Note 3 will destroy the Mega 6.3 when it comes to performances, so your priorities are what matter; I read, work, browse and watch videos, so I would have nothing to gain with a faster CPU and such
High end flagship phones tend to focus on boasting rights than actually giving people what they need. Mid range phones are more value for money. Why pay for specs and features you don't need? Until I find apps that I need which won't work well with the Mega, I'll be sticking to it (until the Mega 2 that is). I change phones almost every year so I'll probably get this year's high end specs on a mid range price next year.
Note 3: £649 <-- I don't think the features/specs are more than double from what you get from the Mega
Mega: £315 <-- I can get 2 of these and still get £19 change for the price of the Note 3 (for cases or sd card)

"Returning or passing on a great phone that many and I really want, because as I was swiping my homescreen it took 0,002ms longer(lag)...."
Just puting the thought out there. Everything lags in life... I can even say that mostly for humans also...
Does the Mega lag a lot? Does it lag when opening the camera? Does it lag when opening phone book? Does it lag when opening the phone dialer/call log? Does it lag when opening messages? Does it lag when opening the Market? Does it lag when opening the music player? Does it lag when opening Settings? Does it lag everytime? Does it lag everywhere?
If someone answers YES to all those above, please let me know...
Yeah man I'll wait to see what the mega 2 is all about. The note 3 screen is too small. Also that's too much money. I would have loved a 600 chip in this phone though or at least the full 2gb of ram.

A recent convert here!
I have to be honest, my main incentive to upgrade was the 200GB microsd promo, which I'm loving at the moment.
Other than that, I would say that you would get roughly the same experience with the V10. There are some really annoying quirks like the random bluetooth issues, or the fingerprint issue with the case. But overall, it's a great device.
I do really like the second screen experience, can't wait till we are able to customize it even more with custom ROMs.
and oh, standard 64GB internal ROM is GREAT.
How works the FM radio ? Is it working on Steteo too ?
I had a note 4 Prior to my nexus 6. Note 4 is a good phone, I just never used the Stylus and cant stand Sammy bloatware. The V10 Is my favorite phone to date.

I came from a note 4. I usually upgrade every year and both phone while fast, the v10 appealed to me in the same way my note 4 did. Speed wise my maps no longer has gps issues and my recent apps is much smoother. I do love the pen but in return you get a 2nd screen which is quite useful.
An example: I am in phone conferences for a chunk of the day and leave it on mute. When someone calls on me to speak and I have my maps on the current screen, in a panic I look for the dialer app. Not anymore, the 2nd screen instantly takes me to the dialer which is an awesome feature for me! Also the audio quality is excellent out of the headphone jack and it still has an ir blaster. Not many other phones have this many features!
So yes, compared to the note 5 which is missing an SD card battery ir blaster and a company that gives a darn about their roots, the LG v10 is the next in line.
On a side note, Samsung is considering an SD card in their s7 so the next note may be some good competition but I need 2 batteries, this dies around 1pm with my heavy use.

From someone who actively change between the Note 4 and LG V10, I will say the the biggest drawback is the battery on V10 is extremely lacking compared to my Note 4. The speed and fluidity I have to give to LG due to a lighter UI as opposed to TW. I would never get rid of either because there are days I hate the V10 and vice versa. Its situational based over anything else

Just dropped my Note 4 for this. I'm an AT&T user on the Tmobile variant. Right now I have no LTE. Once that is figured out this phone will be a lot better.
Note 4: Better battery life for me especially with kit Kat versus lollipo, better screen Blacks, better Bluetooth connectivity, better development community (FireKat and Cm12.1), spen is cool, for me the button placement is better (I'm not the biggest rear button fan) on the V10, better speaker phone, ODIN full wipes, better build quality, for me the s6 keyboard port is the best keyboard so far , youtube 2k does NOT stall , ir blaster has better directional range
V10 : more ram and not TW equals a extremely smooth device, awesome DAC for headphones, fingerprint is 1,000 times better, native 64bit android seems snappier, works better with xposed very little cpu lag, the screen is excellent overall!!! , audio playback is smooth with no stuttering like on the note4 sometimes. Screen does not overheat and dim-great job LG.
Just off the top of my end phone to phone. Both are great..
If buying today 350-400 used note 4 vs 599 V10 (free 200gb card and $100 off promo if you got in early ). I would say the V10 if you like music and xposed. No freebies..I'd stick with the Note4 till Jan/Feb.
If you can find a kit Kat device, stick with the note4 till the 820 devices come out, as the V10 will be outpaced as soon as the 820 devices are released and I assume more carriers will use the ess DAC.
Hi!
I'm really considering to buy Xiaomi Redmi 3. I think it is a really bang for your buck phone. But I use a lot of GPS, so a good GPS receiver is imperative for me. After being let down with my 2 previous phones, I don't want to make the same mistake again. So, I would like to ask anyone that already has got this phone to post a screenshot of the app GPS Test of both indoors (not apartment buildings) and outdoors satellites reception alongside with the regional location where the test was made. That would be great and help a lot to my decision.
Currently, I'm inclined to buy Moto G 3rd Gen, which has great GPS reception both indoors and outdoors. But if Xiaomi came close to it, I would rather prefer it to the motorola because of the larger battery.
Thanks in advance.
What tests specifically do you want done? I just bought this phone and I also use GPS pretty often so I will be checking it out over the next week myself anyway. More than happy to share my findings.

Hi! thanks for your availability.
Please install the app called GPS Test from The play store. The free version is enough. Then, after installation you only have to run it indoors and outdoors and take a screenshot of each one of those situations and share them here. To take a screenshot, you only have to press volume down and power button at the same time.

Hey! You were very helpful. If it can fix indoors, for sure that it has, at least, an above average GPS receiver and would preform very well outside. Thanks a lot.
Sorry for the delayed response. Here's a link to 3 screenshots. The first is in my living room that has no windows, the second is in my kitchen which does have windows and the third is outside. I live in Hebei, China. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I appreciate it.
@HCPA So have you bought the redmi 3. I'm thinking to buy redmi 3 pro. Since, their hardwares are almost identical, can you share your GPS experience with us if you bought one.
Hi! No, I did not buy the Redmi 3, I bought the Motorola G 3rd gen instead. Let me tell you why.
Firstly, what attracted me the most in the redmi 3 was both the large battery and the price, around 160 euros, besides of course the, supposedly good enough gps reception.
But few things led me to change my mind. They were,
1. some people reporting having received faulty versions of the phone. As my bad experience in faulty phones in the past I didn't want to go through all of that again. In addition, Xiaomi doesn't have official support in my country, Portugal, so if I had any problems it would be really inconvenient to deal with that situation. On the contrary, Motorola has technical support in Portugal.
2. Despite the price of Moto G 3rd being around 200 euros, I paid 199,90 euros, the gps reception is if not the best in the smartphone market, certainly one of the best, sure-fire thing the best I have ever had. It always locks under 5 seconds, outdoors and indoors, sunny or cloudy weather. Check the following review http://www.notebookcheck.net/Motorola-Moto-G-3rd-Generation-Smartphone-Review.147931.0.html
3. Despite Moto g 3rd having smaller battery I find it it lasts me around 2 days of usage, which is about the same I was used to with my previous phone and it had a smaller screen. I'm not a heavy user though, if so I reckon it would last a complete day. That is also what many reviews point out about the phone that apart from redmi 3 it has the best battery life for this device range. That being said I'm still happy with my decision because after all the trade off is that the Motorola is water resistant while Redmi 3 is not and for me this is a plus since I often run in rainy days, so I don't have to worry about ruin my phone.
In conclusion, the price difference is well worth it. I have got a phone that feels and works like a premium phone. Motorola was always known for having the best cell radios in the market. Besides all of that I have stock android and I'll have plenty updates to come.
By the way, I got the 2 gig Ram version. 1 gig ram is not worth it anymore in 2016.
I hope I was helpful. Feel free to ask any other stuff about this. I'll be glad to help.

I wish it did have the screen stay on feature when watching a video on Facebook or whatnot where you gotta move the screen once in a while to stop it from dimming. Yeah the note 7 was a failure and it also was a slow phone (Snapdragon model) but this phone having the same chip runs a lot better. Must be better optimized. The note 7 cam does beat the main cam on this phone tho, it also took HDR pics super fast. Pros and cons to everything.

No, I love the G5
Let's get this clear the G5 has the face down silence option, and if it's packed with features, u just have to look for them in the settings, and beside all that the wide angle lens is the most innovative camera feature ever on a smartphone, what would u do if u had a pixel ?
Coming from Motorola, Lenovo, and Huawei phones, and just looking at stock settings on the G5, I'm pretty impressed by what LG included. Just to be able to change global font and theme without root would've been revolutionary to me not that long ago. Granted, the LG store is relatively young/limited -and I've no idea where it will go- but it's a promising starting point. 360 wideangle live wallpaper with wideangle camera lens to make your own (eventually), drag-and-drop touch button settings, multiwindow, shortcut key commands, as small a detail as battery percentage preference... Many of these things we're used to as root mods, and in that sense they may be boring, but to have them as part of the stock basis makes me look forward to expansions of customization in the not-too-distant future, if not by LG in their store, then by the enthusiasts in this realm. It's encouraging, far from boring!

The size is great. Display resolution is quite low, but no disaster, you can get used to it quite quickly (I would advise to use OLED Saver app to skip PWM brightness control though). It certainly would look nicer with FHD resolution, but battery would take a hit (and possibly it would increase the phone size as well). With HD the battery life is very good (e.g. 35% left after 3 days with 6 hours of screen on time - Chrome, Youtube,..).
So far I stumbled upon 2 issues:
- 2G and 3G data doesn't seem to be working, only 4G. I'm not the only one with this problem, users from different locations report it. Hopefully will get fixed in the next update, even if it doesn't impact everybody.
- LED notification doesn't seem to be working for every app (e.g. Gmail works, Google messages not)
I have the EU variant with EU ROM.
If you're coming from MIUI, bare Android system might not be to your liking. Be sure that you are ok with missing features of MIUI (although most of them can be replicated with some effort).

I thought he was in a hospital or something lol but apparently he is still trolling around, with his bleeding eyes
Do not listen to those trolls. Trust me, the display is ___CATASTROPHIC___. It is the only phone which uses this particular display, and I think the last also. Don't make the same mistake as I did. MI A1 was great, A2 was also good, but A3 is disaster.

Thanks for your input. I'll be checking the device out in one of the stores here. Im considering the mi 9 lite as well, but I'd like Android one more than miui

The size is great. Display resolution is quite low, but no disaster, you can get used to it quite quickly (I would advise to use OLED Saver app to skip PWM brightness control though). It certainly would look nicer with FHD resolution, but battery would take a hit (and possibly it would increase the phone size as well). With HD the battery life is very good (e.g. 35% left after 3 days with 6 hours of screen on time - Chrome, Youtube,..).
So far I stumbled upon 2 issues:
- 2G and 3G data doesn't seem to be working, only 4G. I'm not the only one with this problem, users from different locations report it. Hopefully will get fixed in the next update, even if it doesn't impact everybody.

I actually have the note 7 with PE10 installed. I'm quite used to stock Android. Hopefully future updates can fix those problems. What about the FOD?

Go for Motorola One Vision instead : fullHD+ non PWM, NFC, camera optical stabilization, splash proof, ...
MI A3 has the worst display I ever saw in my life. Oversaturated, low-res, pentile, heavy PWM. Did buy it from eshop, so I did not know what I'm getting into.

We don't have Moto from where I'm at. I'll check some online shops. Thanks

I'm fine with stock Android. Been using it since JB. I want the miA3 for the Android one program. I'd like to get official 10. I'm currently using PE10 at the moment it rn7. Mi A3 is the best option for now atleast. Hopefully updates could fix some of those issues. Thanks for the input

- I don't have any issues with 2G/3G data.
- Though LED notifications are definitely not working for all apps (hopefully it will be fixed in future updates).
- FOD is not the fastest. I have an anecdotal issue with unlocking when my fingers are clean and dry (I more inclined to think it's due to dryness). One would expect issues with reading when sensor/fingers are dirty
- Display resolution and pixel density are not that bad as some ppl complain, but if it's a top requirement for you I would go in-store and have a look on it, played with brightness, read some text, etc before buying.

Do not buy the Mi A3, you will regret it everytime you use it. Most ppl will not admit that their new phone was a very bad buy - they are in denial (you can observe that in this thread).
Lol. The only thing most ppl can observe is that you cannot accept the loss of $160 on the wrong purchase.
I want Q and custom rom support. :fingers-crossed: Is the display really that bad?
Nope. But any review is subjective. If you're uncertain go in-store and take a look on it. Or take on risk, buy it and accept a potential loss of 156 USD (current price of 4/64 unit on Ali) on a device not meeting your expectations.

I suppose. I'll be checking it out. Only thing that's stopping me from getting a mi 9 lite is the lack of support.
