Here,first photos from the camera, and a small selection of photos, how it fits into the interior. : D
You can also download the originals there, but EXIF ​​were spoiled, as the watermark MIUI stands on it.



Rep: (2)
I will express my opinion on sabzh. Pros:
- Cool design. Whatever they say there is a breakthrough compared to previous bricks. Not only did he have a metal case, so also worked on ergonomics. The build quality is also top notch. Consider this mini-version of Note 3, who held it in his hands, he will understand what I mean.
High-quality display. The predecessors had good screens, and this one is even better. Safety glass, most likely, from the asahi glass.
- Productive iron. If predecessors were excellent working smarts, then this one is also suitable for games. At max settings, everything will not pull, but most of the performance Snapdragon 616 will be for the head.
- Huge battery. According to preliminary information, with a heavy load, he keeps calm for two days. In fact, redmi 3 has taken the niche of long-lived smartphones.
- a wide range of functions. In addition to standard Wi-Fi, zhpc / glonass, bluetooth, there is also an infrared port
- Software and space-scale community. If even MIUI is raw at the beginning, millions of user updates will appear very quickly in all languages.
Of the minuses:
- Like there is no backlight.
- combo slot. Minus controversial, since not everyone is critical.
- inadequate international price at the start of sales. At the moment, I saw a price of about $ 140.
Neutral:
- cameras. The video shows that the main camera is mediocre. With a good light, the pictures will be more normal, but with a weak light - let's say goodbye. It is foolish to expect that in this class can install a good camera. In this price range of "camera phones" it makes sense to take the old flagships. For example, gionee e7.
Total:
This is a hit.

3. http: //g03.a.alicdn.co…XXXayXpXXq6xXFXXXm.jpg

In the second photo you can see that the bottom end is 100% plastic (no one will put such a thick aluminum piece in a smart for $ 100), I’m not sure about the top one. In any case, in my opinion, the appearance of the phone is excellent.
By the way, what I also noticed was that at night on tmall only the white-silver version was on sale, the rest are unavailable. Goldway also wrote on Aliexpress that only this version is available. Therefore, if you need another - be prepared to wait, the sellers do not have it.

P.S. On Tmall everything is sold.

I remember that the evil genius of Xiaomi Hugo Barra said that they plan to remove the memory card slot in the premium segment. Which by the way redmi3 does not apply. I lied to Hugo :))


Do not lie. Redmi 3 does not apply, as you noticed, there is a memory card, but m4c and mi4i do not have slots for a memory card. And in mi5 will not. Even in Redmi Note 3 is gone. But most likely, in Redmi Note 3, they refused the additional slot for the card due to the integrity of the case. Therefore, in Redmi 3 - a combined slot, as a compromise.

Rep: (53)
I do not understand comrades who are dissatisfied with something sabzh. As for me, the device is just super. I expected the guys from Xiaomi to do something sensible, but did not think that the phone would be so cool. We can already say with confidence that this will be a hit.

Strengths (the higher, the more important):
1) Low cost;
2) Huge battery;
3) This is Xiaomi (which means the quality and support of the manufacturer and the multi-million dollar community);
4) Good HD screen (well, that is not FHD);
5) Normal processor (although mtk6752 is more efficient and more energy efficient, but I heard that there are problems with this processor);
6) There is a slot for an SD card;
7) Do not shovel;
8) There is a flash (now you won't be surprised by this, but there are telephones without flash, especially Lenovo has such a lot, and for me a flashlight is one of the main functions of a smartphone);
9) Good design (previous Redmi had a poor appearance);
10) The presence of infrared (plus a small, but still);
11) According to some sites there is support for fast charging.

Separately, I want to express my opinion about those moments that some did not like:
1) No event indicator- firstly, it is still not reliably known, and secondly, this is not a problem for everyone. There is an indicator in my current phone, but for several years I didn’t pay attention to it.
2) Some complain about the camera. I believe that on this issue at all, you can write a novel, because no threads about any phone model in which no sracha on camera. Personally, I believe that the quality of the photos made by this phone is excellent. And if we consider that this is a budget smartphone, no voice and can not be on this account. It is foolish to expect from a phone pictures transcendental qualities, for it has a camera. Personally for me, the camera is generally the last thing I look at when choosing a phone. I use it every few months, when you want to take a picture of any document or item, and the quality is not critical.
3) Not everyone is happy with the HD screen, give FHD. Complete nonsense! For 5 "- HD just right, and not much and not enough. I think more to push unreasonable stupidity.
4) Plastic inserts. It is what it is. But this is a constructive necessity, otherwise nothing. If the whole back end was made of metal, it would have a very strong impact on wireless communication. Maybe this problem could somehow be solved (xs, I'm not an expert), but then it would have been a more expensive product.
5) No key backlighting. Complete nonsense, this light only hinders. He turned it off on his phone as soon as he received the root.
6) Combined slot for SIM cards and flash drives. First, for many, this is not a problem at all, because they use 1 sim card (as I do). Secondly, with the development of wireless technologies, this problem goes into oblivion thanks to cloud technology and fast Internet. Thirdly, if there are even hands, then you can connect both SIM cards and a USB flash drive at the same time.
7) Non-removable battery? why take it out? I have not removed the battery in my phone for a year. In extreme cases, replacing it will surely not be a big problem.
8) Problems with the firmware (localization, the presence of lags)? This is Xiaomi, so there is nothing to worry about.
9) Back panel with a pattern? What is the problem? Buy without a picture. IMHO, the design with engraving looks better.
10) Phone thick. Is 8.5 mm thick? Yes, even if only 15 mm, especially if instead of these millimeters a larger battery is pushed into it. I do not understand why everyone is trying to make the phone thinner? The phone is not to cut the sausage.

Maybe this phone is not perfect (there are simply no such, and different people have a different concept of ideals), but I really liked this device, so far I have not seen a single problem in it. Even if someone does not suit him in some trifle, in the light of all the advantages of this phone, you can close your eyes to it.
Personally, I probably will buy this device, only a little later, when the price drops a little, at the same time I will wait for the first reviews.
