Are the Blacks on mi3 as good as on the sgs4 amoled?

No, IPS displays will never have blacks like SAMOLEDs. It isn't technically possible. And display on Mi3 is better, it has higher PPI.
 
Android 4.3 is boring, as is 4.2.2.
It's only fixes for nexus devices (poor version of orange friday :D )
Maybe they include new APIs but next groundbreaking Android will be KitKat, so no need for 4.3.
And if 4.2.1 is stable enough, it's OK.

4.3 brings trim and opengl 3 and selinux, don't talk if you don't know

Yes, I think the best thing Xiaomi could do is to update to 4.3 directly, and then have a break until KitKat

The price you listed: 16GB 1999RMB/324USD
64GB 2499RMB/408USD

Ibuygou price: 16GB 429USD
64GB 499USD

Ibuygou is making a killing with these prices & it's killing us too who love to do a purchase of this item. As official partner of ibuygou maybe somebody can convince them to trim their prices to a reasonable one.

It's sad, but it's called "supply and demand" Many people want the new exclusive Xiaomi M3 while it is hard to get one = higher prices. They will be cheaper at december - january, probably.

True but at that time some new devices will come out & the excitement to buy this will probably gone too. Well maybe not gone but surely diminish :).
 
I honestly think ibuygou making $90 is realistic
Online retailers generally make 15%+
High street allot more

Xiaomi have I direct to consumer model. Most manufacturers sell to resellers via distribution. This means we are actually still seeing a saving on such a well specked phone. If they sell into europe or America you'd expect to see an increase in price.

If your lucky you'll also dodge some import tax.

Knowing your buying original xiaomi is also a value with all the fakes about.

They are doing it to make money. I don't think they are being greedy.

even with the money they make, it's still miles cheaper than the samsung equivalent or whatever
 
Im gonna get this one. Definitely. Going to sell my mi2 soon. I think 500usd is still reasonable price for the spec.

5" is not really gigantic screen. Come on guys...

It's not the screen people are upset about, it's the case.

This could of been cramped into a way smaller case without compromising about screen size.

I really like the design. Yes it's diffrent and maybe big on some sides but still nice.

I am waiting for some more hands-on / unbox video's to see it better. (In Oktober there will be enough)
Then I buy it

I'm unsure about this in a lot ways, especially because galaxy s4 plus MIUI might just end up doing a better job than this.

Both in terms of software (multi window) and hardware (exchangeable battery, micro sd card reader, case size, bigger batteries available, etc).

Well I think Ibuygou heard me. But instead of reducing the price they bumped it up lol. 32gb is now 510 & 16gb is 440.
 
Yes I got in there early so happy. :)


The only other place I have bought from us fulcrumall and they are usually a bit cheaper than ibuygou..

Seems they are about the same for now.
