manufacturing process:

---

pricing starts at 320 USD for 16GB,
looks like Oneplus One (or rather rebranded Oppo Find 7a) is now runner up again....

i wonder how this is going to affect prices for the MI3, which is still a very good phone...

[mrsim]

it says kitkat 4.4 but does that mean that we still get miui 4.4 or just pure android 4.4 like the nexus range...if anyone can answer that question that would be great...also custom roms from AOSP would be nice too

[linr76]

comes with MIUI v6, was also one of the new announcements.
no vanilla Android, no kernel sources available.
probably Xiaomi is going to release the kernel source for the MI3 now....

Is there anywere that you can buy one, I want the 64gb version and I have had no luck at all.

[linr76]

it's on sale in China now.
if you do not need LTE you can soon grab one at one of our forum sponsors.
If you want a LTE enabled one, you will have to wait until about End of September, then the global LTE version should be available.

[scrivz69]

Do you have a link to the 64gb version mate.

[linr76]

not yet one to buy, but eg. Merimobiles has it listed for preorder

[linr76]

correction regarding the specs, NFC has been removed. as a reason Xiaomi stated that NFC is not a much used feature.

[scrivz69]

I use it, not very often but I do, cost cutting me thinks.
