My new Mi3 phone

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!
