I am posting my comment here using my mi 3W. It was christmas holiday season of 2013 when it was purchased by me and affer all those years, it is still holding up. Come now April 2025 and this phone never stopped to impress me. I got a custom ROM installed running android 9. Did I mention google camera on this phone?! Oh hell yeah! Replace battery twice already, diy. I love this phone. It all boils down on how you use it. Peace out, just my 2 cents.

              This was the smartphone that change the smartphone market of my region since 10 years ago. Who could thought how Xiaomi would grow until today. This smartphone predate Oneplus as the true flagship killer, the lauching pricing at my country is cheaper than the next year Oneplus One, but should not count like that as at that time, smartphone still be differentiated by the term phablet, which is bigger in size, thus more expensive, so this smaller 5" regular smartphone could sell cheaper. The selling price at launch at my country already almost less than half of every comparable flagship at that time of similar specs. The cut cost thing however, is lacking 4G, no Micro SD slot for expansion and the internal storage is only 16GB, no user changeable battery despite HTC and SONY already doing that. But every other thing is intact, such as having NFC, QC fast charging, 3000mah big battery, Snapdragon 800, Full HD LCD screen. It also pioneering the MIUI that looks like IOS without Apps Drawer, something people also complain where most Android launcher is created with Apps Drawer. This start the era where by minimum price like this, you could own a high performance Android smartphone which don't cut corners for lower down the pricing, despite cut corners still happen such as no 4G connectivity and no expandable storage.

                            My own black 16 GB Xiaomi Mi3 was stolen years ago, I bought a second-hand white Mi3 two months ago. Now it perfectly works on MIUI 9 system, but I forgot the Android version. Thanks for the Happy Chick Game Emulator, i can play Metal Max 2: Reloaded on this Mi3 which is a very good "Game Boy" to me.
