Aslam.o.alikum.I told you guyz my father had xiaomi redmi note which i purchased for him before 6 months. but due to short circuting in extension he charged the phone with help of desktop. At start phone was not charging more than 35%. but after that switched off and never turned on again, went to technician in singapur plaza today and they said phone is short and we are not going to open this. so what to do now. money has been wasted or any solution.

Xiaomi is good value for money. It's OS is quite fluid, fingerprint sensor is quick. Talking of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 pro, it's camera was ok in daylight but horrible at night.

I agree... Camera is good in day light but i dont care as I have a DSLR for photography... Overall the phone is awesome... Great battery life.. Dual app option which is great... Dual sim and supports all the LTE bands...

Brother I'm just curious, xiaomi has a lot of "hype" and I'm not sure what it is all about, so I was asking just how much substance is there to the hype.

How much substance...?

A TON, brother...!!!

As many know, I speak mostly from a "Hardware" perspective and standpoint... Hardware is my specialty... Its my job to know about hardware as I'm a hardware analyst at a well known and reputed tech firm...!

Anyhow, here's a little comparison of Xiaomi vs. Pakistani Awam's beloved Qmobile:

Xiaomi 3S vs. Qmobile Noir S2 Pro:

Both phones are around The 11,000 Rupees Mark...

Q has a Mediatek MT6580 with a 32-Bit Quad-Core Cortex-A7 processor coupled with a 1GB RAM, 2,500mAh Battery...

Xiaomi has a Snapdragon 430 SoC with a 64-Bit Octa Core Cortex-A53 processor coupled with a 2GB RAM and a huge 4,100mAh Battery with a Fingerprint Scanner which is indeed handy...

The A53s on The Xi are not only TWICE as powerful as the A7s but is also an 8 Core Cluster vs. Q's 4 Cores... And lets not forget the fact that Snapdragon SoCs are generally much more reliable than Mediatek SoCs and are much easier to optimize for the manufacturers...

For comparison, The Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) has a Snapdragon 410 SoC, which is basically a Quad-Core version of Snapdragon 430 SoC with a weaker GPU (Adreno 306 On SD410 vs. Adreno 505 on SD430)...

The Lenovo K6 also has a Snapdraogn 430 and it costs 21,000 Rupees and lack a Fingerprint scanner...!

There's virtually NO COMPARISON between that Qmobile & Xiaomi... It's like comparing a 4-Cylinder Toyota Yaris/Vitz (naturally aspirated) vs. a BMW M3 with a supercharged V8...! Both are compact cars, but couldn't be more different...!

Take your pick, brother...!

BTW, I'd take the Beemer and Xiaomi...!

[shahzaibtariq]

the truth is i donnt know which version is it? it was purchased in hong kong and international version
tell me the solution im waiting

Which version SD or Mtk ?

Can you find me an S7 Edge that'll give me 9 hours of SOT?

I'm genuinely curious as to how this phone can have such good battery life.

Just a note: I do not fake charge cycles. This is from a single 100% full charge. No extra recharges in between.

Although I support Ur opinion but the recent dying of my Redmi Note 3 LCD (ghost touches) on its exact 1st birthday shook my confidence u might blame the recent two falls of mobile and a very idiot case and some tough environment but I treated similarly my previous mobiles as well none of them died for at least 3 years!!!

Bought Nexus 5X and updated it to lovely Noughat which made its battery life amazingly longer but still remember buttery smooth and handy apps of MIUI

Lenovo K6 has fingerprint scanner, you always omit fingerprint scanner from specs!. Lenovo K6 is highly optimized, it was playing most games including very heavy ones very well when i checked it first time, surprisingly.

You deserve it too, for omitting fingerprint sensor.

iPhone 7 Plus has given me 13+hr of usage time in a single charge. Battery life is amazing. Just curious how much iPhone 7 will give usage time?

My friend has an iPhone 7, he got it the same time that I sold my 6S, and he's been getting around 7-8 hours of usage time on it with WiFi and medium brightness.

So basically slightly better than a 6S. Still very impressive though.
