Catching on the hype of new, inexpensive phones from China, I am intrigued by Xiaomi. So when Xiaomi Malaysia launched its Mi3 phone for online sale in Malaysia, I was one of them who waited at my computer on 20 May 2014, at 12pm, to try to get one.
And I did!
What's so good about this phone? The uninspiring answer: cheap!
The in-a-nutshell answer is: this is an Apple-like phone on an android platform (advantage: no iTunes!) with a super-fast Snapdragon 800 processor. In summary, great value for money. Now it becomes more inspiring, right?
The best part is also I did not have to wait very long. It arrived on Saturday, 24 May 2014 by Fedex.
After the phone arrived, I searched for a phone case and screen protector for it. I did not manage to order from the official website because in the web sale, I had to be quick, otherwise I would not have a chance to get a phone. And it is great that there are now many Malaysian websites offering these phone cases for sale. Phone case ordered on Monday, and received on Saturday. The one I ordered comes with a free phone protector too. Wonderful!
And I did!
