Xiaomi Mi3 Review–Quad-Core Snapdragon 800-Powered Flagship For Only PHP 10,599

When we heard Xiaomi was going to expand its horizons to the Philippines back in April, we already knew it was going to be a gamechanger. What we didn’t expect though, was for it to happen so fast (and furious). Three months later, we now live in a world where the Mi3 has been available here for 4 weeks. Packing a Snapdragon 800 processor; 5.0” FullHD Gorilla Glass 3 display; large 3,050mAh Battery; and running Android 4.4 Kitkat; this phone can easily keep up with even the most expensive 1st Tier flagships and is priced at half the cost – PHP 10,599. But is it too good to be true or are we truly in an era of pure consumer bliss? You can find out in our full Xiaomi Mi3 review!

The Xiaomi Mi3 will no doubt mark a turning point in smartphone consumer history as the device that brought us 1st Tier Flagship specs for half the price.

If you don’t mind the lack of expandable storage, UI app drawer, extra SIM slot, and LTE, the Xiaomi Mi3 is easily the best phone for the money.
