This update ruined my battery performance, anyway Friday is not far again

Rozaystunna:

Thats most likely because your phone is different from mine.

which is yours?

Gptech:

Never said build quality, its of course the quality of the hardware used which majorly is the processor, of course build quality can be considered much later after considering camera sensors used, connectivity, quality of screen and display, etc. Infact the SD 650 is officially a mid range processor, so what are you driving at? That redmi note 3 is a flagship?

Devices with processors older than sd 650 are running Android N.

Gptech:

There you go! You mean custom roms?
Ok port and don't complain later o

Too busy right now. Besides my primary phone already has nougat

Gptech:

Then you should consider another brand now because you will never get any android upgrade on your device, best you can get is Marshmallow, and see how long you have waited You know why? Your device is a midrange device according to Xiaomi, Mi4 has Marshmallow already.

My primary phone is xperia xa. If you read my initial post I said minimum is MM update.

Lol when you say I'll never get any upgrades on my phone.

Whether a phone is midrange or not is not my issue. As long as its architecture supports OS upgrade, then I'm good with it.

Redmi note 2

This man ehhh . You know the xperia xa is pricey yet the specs is mediocre compared to what you are paying for? Again watch how xperia z5 and z3 will be treated as Kings over the XA, then you will know why you should bother if your device is a flagship or not since OS upgrade is of great importance to you.

Someone needed money urgently so I bought it for cheap. Again you are totally missing the point. It's not about money but what the phone can do. As mediocre as the specs are, it is running a stable android N. That is just the point I have been trying to pass on to you. Mediocre phones with specs older than most xiaomi 2016 phones are running Android N. So what is Xiaomi's excuse?

XDA guys developed Android N for xiaomi phones as far back as August, even before miui 8 was released yet a company as big as xiaomi is still struggling to release a stable MM.

What can xperia xa do better than xiaomi redmi note 3 apart from camera? I have not said the money you spend on a device is proportional to its performance, I have only insisted that redmi note 3 is a mid range phone. There are countless mid range xperias that never got updated even once.
Lastly, Xioami are not struggling to release marshmallow, don't they already have phones running marshmallow? If they give midrange phones the sweet treatment you seek, you expect people to buy their flagships? My brother all is market strategy.

Again you miss the point entirely. Redmi note 3 has a 4000mAh battery, Sony xa has about 2300. But guess what, after upgrading to miui 8, the Sony phone lasts longer than rn3. Why? Because miui 8 is heavier than miui 7.

Still on the midrange issue, why is redmi note 3 pro running on lollipop while redmi note 3 special edition with identical specs, running on MM? Are they not both midrange phones? You see how your argument about midrange phones flawed?

Now about giving midrange phones 'sweet treatment', why have they not provided update for redmi note 4?

Take a look at the link below concerning redmi note 4

The whole argument here has nothing to do with xiaomi's hardware specs. This was the same model blackberry operated. They ignored their OS while others were making innovations.

xiaomi redmi note 4 standard edition 2gb ram and 16gb rom for sale. if interested pm me *0*8*0*3*8*7*8*4*5*0*8

BuzzRay:
Wondering why xiaomi doesn't make use of gorilla glasses anymore. Like the one they used on the redmi 2.

humblesteve kindly run a quick drop test for me, with your 3s, leme so hw strong the screen is.

Hehe....this guy no like me o

Hmm, you know miui is not being abandoned, and about innovation
You just mentioned good battery performance from your xperia due to stable update right? Yet you fail to point out how updating whether the xperia z3 or z5 ruined its battery performance. What's the reason, bugs right? We all know that miui 8 is filled with bugs. About miui being heavy, check the endurance rating of mi5 and xperias running same battery capacity and come back here. It's all about optimization, even the mi5 with 3000mah trumps the redmi note 3 with 4000mah. Of course miui updates have been a sour story for some and also sweet for others but that doesn't make your comparison with blackberry os valid, in fact there is nothing to compare there. Why do people love miui? Innovation is the answer. Infact my redmi note 2 looks newer by the day and looks more advanced than many phones running Marshmallow.

humblesteve:

Hehe....this guy no like me o

Help your guy na

GrandMufti:


Help your guy na

Am not in the position to...I believe you're

humblesteve:
How much ?

Mogenerous:
This update might seem pretty cool but I don't want anything that might affect my battery performance

Battery life is great. There is a bug with the notification sound other than incoming call. Major annoyance as you have to reboot for it to work properly again.

Wish i had enof money and got a xiaomi. .... This thread is moving big time..... Still a xiaomi fan tho

kolomax:

that's my Redmi note 3 pro, it's on Android 6.0

Tomorrow Xiaomi Mi5c will be launched. Can't wait to add this device to my RN3 MTK league.

franzis:

That's the Taiwanese version / special edition that came with MM. Similar rn3 pro manufactured in India still run on Lollipop

My initial thought was dat Note 3 *PRO* is snapdragon, n besides where did u get d device

Lovexme:


I almost used that, but decided against it in the last second just because I thought Xiaomi online store would hold more credibility

Dreami store has high ratings too.

I just confirmed it , it's XIAOMI DREAMI STORE, the short form z dreami, na Xiaomi get ham

Lovexme:


Different stores, but both have got high ratings.

They're same bro
