Xiaomi MI3 compared on paper with HTC One M8, Samsung S5 and LG G2

Xiaomi MI3, may be many things but it is still a chinese mobile entering the Indian waters like the rest of the cheap phones out there. But Xiaomi MI3 has an unique differentiator – its high end hardware specs. The other cheap mobiles would claim to be quad-core processor, but if you inspect closely, it would be a mediatek processor or some name-less chipset. Cheap phones comes with their own price and its called compromise. They compromise on build quality, RAM, flash memory, camera components, etc. Consumers these days are very intelligent and they check all these before hitting that “buy” button. They check out blogs and reviews and some even check the performance benchmark scores. The most sensible buyer would check for service centers and also developer community backup. Xiaomi seems to have thought about all these and MI3 scores a perfect score in all of these areas. It has the top of the line hardware spec, a wonderful development community, 32 service centers (2 exclusive) in India during launch and guess what it tops the performance chart scores. Best of all, it has a killer price that can shake the foundation of smartphone market here in India.

Check out the comparison below. We have compared the hardware spec on papers, price and performance with HTC One M8, Samsung Galaxy S5 and the LG G2.
