Hello.
I recently gave my mother the Xiaomi Redmi 3, I thought about upgrading her to the Redmi 3 pro but eventually decided not to.
I already ordered the case for the pro version so I decided to keep it and use it with the Redmi 3.
The case quality is exactly the same as the Mi4c one I reviewed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/accessories/case-review-mi4c-original-ipaky-neo-t3397528/post67290855#post67290855 or in short - great, doesn't make the phone bulky, protects the screen and helps keep the phone look amazing
I highly recommend it, attaching pictures of the case with the Redmi 3:
I'm also using the highly recommended Mocolo screen protector with it, like I have with all my Xiaomi phones, since buying my first Xiaomi device(March 2013, Xiaomi Mi2)

You'll be buying 2pcs, keep one for spare, you never know when you might need it.
(This is the official shop, I have been buying here for years and I recommend it for authenticity reasons)

Thanks for watching. welcome to ask questions
Thank you for the review. I had ordered one of these cases a day before your post. I expect it to take some time to get to me as I am in the USA. I just received a Redmi 3 Pro. I like it a lot, but I need the case before I drop it.... it is very slippery without a case. I'll post again after I receive the case.....

I received the case yesterday. I am very glad to have the case on my phone. it does add a better grip to the phone but not as much as I would like, such as hybrid cases with more silicone. I do miss having a more protective case as well, such as those that are available for other phones. The limited protection this case affords will help the phone survive, but I do hope others are going to be marketed for this Redmi 3 Pro device.

Thanks for your input, I'm glad you like the case!
Thx for the tip, bought this case 3 months ago for my R3 Pro, works fine. No scratches until today, holds firmly on the phone, all buttons work really well.
The speaker grille dampens the sound a little so I cut it out with an x-acto knife

Hello.
There are NO issues with the flash with this case.
Is there really that big a different between those two??
So far I can see there is no big different between the camera ??
999 euro for the pro.
1399 euro for the pro plus.
5 things are different:
The pro+ comes with 256gb extra storage, totalling 512gb. Since neither phones support microsd cards, it might be worth to upgrade for extra storage.
The pro+ comes with a ceramic back, instead of glass. So it wont shatter or break like glass, and can also apprantly be even more scratch resistant, while retaining the smoothness of glass.
The pro+ comes with a extra camera, that does 3x optical zoom.
The pro+ replaces the 5x optical zoom of the pro to a 10x optical zoom camera.
The pro+ comes with a little bit faster wireless charging.
Earlier post suggested that it also comes with 4gb extra ram, totalling at 12gb, this is not the case.
It's really personal preference if you want one of these features. Since the p40 pro and pro+ do not support microsd, i might need the extra storage for the games series and the lot of photo's i take. I'm quite a power user.
The extra zoom will also be quite special and certainly unique in a phone, until a competitor ofcource adds it to their phone as well. But i can see it staying a premium feature at a premium price for the whole of 2020 and first half of 2021.
The ceramic back is also welcome, since i shattered the back glass of 2 phones already while riding a rollercoaster, while i never had this problem with the iphones i owned, but never shattered front displays on any phone. I don't like to use cases. i have good insurance.
I can't care much about the extra wireless charging speed though.
So for me, while it is a extreme price, i will get the pro +. But...only if i see the normal pro thats almost released can properly handle google apps with everything working. Time will tell when users get their hands on the devices.
You can also add an NM card in the second SIM slot. The biggest you get is 256GB. If you want to add the NM but also need two SIM-cards, there is the option of using eSIM. Thirdparty NM just go up to 128GB for about 40€ and Huawei itself produces 256GB for 100€.
I think it isnot worth to pay an extra 400€, if you don't need the camera and the wireless charging with 40W but the extra space.
Just my opinion.

you need a new reader then as well(unless phone-only usage), and NM cards are double the price of microsd cards, and dont come in higher then 256gb at retail stores at least.
No i'd rather go for 400 euro more for 256gb extra AND then get the other features as well.
When can you buy the p40 pro+?

it did
look here https://www.dxomark.com/category/smartphone-reviews/
Which option is better, the p40 pro (256) and the 27 w wireless charger and the watch gt2 or the p40 pro plus alone.
Better in terms of? Value? If value for money then the P40 Pro and the bundle, you'd get more use out of it than an extra bit of zoom and 40w wireless charging IMO.
I also think the Silver Frost looks better than the P40 Pro Plus's ceramic back.
You can get p40 pro as low as low 650-750eur in Germany. P40 pro plus I assume is 1300? Value wise p40 pro is better
It depends on what your market is, ive got the p40 pro plu the gt2e and I love it! if you're going to buy from abroad maybe go for the plus but the Pro offer is class and for me I cant see how I can benefit more, but I would only truly know if I had the plus, its a tough decision but either way its an awesome result
Hey,
Do You know when and in what online shops will be available to buy? I'm waiting for European premiere, but if it will be online - i can buy from China.
Greetings
From what I read it will be available starting August 12th. Most likely only for China, and the global variant should be released some time later.
I'll wait a couple weeks for user reviews, mainly to find out whether it's possible to install Google services on HarmonyOS. Apparently it's possible on CHINESE variants of the Mate 40, with the Lzplay app (or whatever it's called). For global variants, gotta use GSpace which is not ideal.
EDIT: pre-order available on aliexpress HERE. Price is a bit high though.
Hello. Any news about Chinese variant and harmonyos running or not Google? I'm crazy about this phone.
Tradingshenzhen is selling som devices right now

Are you saying that with the mate if you wanted google you were better off with the Chinese version? i see the Chinese version is available but was afraid to buy it for compatibility in the usa
Hi.
I live in Sanya, China.
I recently bought 2 Huawei P50 Pros here to send to my friends in Russia and while testing them, I got quite disappointed. I even made a short review on my youtube channel (Mark Victorson).
They're overheating crazily, and in general, while cameras are the only reason one might want a Huawei phone, the video performance is seriously underwhelming.
And I don't recommend getting the China version with Kirin.
Wait for the global release. Or PM me if you can't live without the phone, I'll give you contacts of ppl who can buy and send the phone from China

it looks like the wait in our country will be a long one, the right decision if you want to submit it online.

1. Harmony os - hopefully the global version will have full fledged android 11 not the piece of android 10 they call a new os
2. Camera is underwhelming. Omnivision sensors are inferior to Sony. The quality and color science difference between the wide, main and tele lens are not in sync - shooting with all three makes you feel like you shoot on three different devices, so great the difference is. Video is still 30mbps in 4k...srsly? SONY gives 85!
3. Heat dissipation on Kirin is terrible, it drops from 300gips to 100gips in 9 minutes of CPU throttling test.
Hopefully the global version with Snapdragon will result in a better experience.

Hi, what is the battery life like ? How does it compare with the honor magic 3 pro plus? Are the cameras better on the p50 pro or on honor magic 3 pro plus? Which of the 2 devices would you recommend for overall everyday use (camera, speed, battery life, Heating). You mentioned the p50 pro gets hot, is that the same with the honor magic 3 pro plus?
Mate40 pro is not a better choice ??

Overall I'd recommend honor. It shoots better videos, its screen is better, it never heats up, its face id works in darkness. The only downside - it's a step behind p50pro in photography. Battery life is not bad on the both, but I can't say anything particular because i only had the devices for a week, and then sent them to Russia.

I appreciate that response thanks bro !
Lol wow. I have the phone, it's typical huawei goodness.
Hot? Not at all, it's same as any other normal phone concerning heat, camera is excellent! As expected, slightly better than by mate x2 camera which was also great. P50 pro ain't seen as the best phone camera right now for nothing.
Battery life again is typically great! It's a small battery, 4360 I believe, but it's roughly 8+ hours on screen time for a complete full charge.
I'm amazed at these statements

How much did you pay for it?
I've been told that photos are excellent but video recording is underwhelming, can you confirm?
Is there a 90hz option or only 60hz/120hz?
How many updates have you received so far ?
Does that 8 hours sot involve gaming or just normal usage?
How much battery do you lose overnight/idle?
8 hours is decent SOT, but I'm used to my 14 hours on the Rog 5 unfortunately there's no reviews on the p50 pro so I'm still undecided.

Paid about £870 from Alibaba
Pics are the best, full stop! Videos are good, iPhone still king
No it's only 60hz or 120hz dynamic. No 90hz
I think its been about 2 updates since I bought
It's 8 hours very conservative. Uses about 10% per hour
Losses about 3% overnight

Thank you again for the info !
I've just had a look online & it's looking likely that Huawei will launch the Mate 50 pro on October 21st
I'll wait for that if they don't end up releasing the mate 50 pro I'll just buy the p50 pro, prices will be lower too. I was hoping for the p50 pro plus version but doubt that will ever come out

Hi all I have the new xiaomi 12t pro, 8+256 and the black shark 4 pro 12+256 on order, but can only keep one, but what one??
Black shark...
I like the pop out triggers idea and the finger print sensor on the power button. it was £480, but no IP raitng
12t pro...
better gpu and faster phone and has a IP rating. £600
What would you go for and why, the 12t pro is more expensive, but just come out, so will have more updates than the black shark.
both same size screen, both 120w charge
Please help all, as really not sure what to go for??
many thanks

Both are good phones. What is your intent? Intensive gaming? If so, go black shark. Gaming phones have better cooling compared to their flagships counterparts. If gaming is not your focus here, go with the 12t pro. It had better camera and will get more updates, official and unofficial.
A bit of both tbh, is the 12t pro worth the extra £120? Will the black shark still be a fast phone? My current phone is a huawei p30 pro
Xiaomi 12T Pro is better when looking specs.
Both of these phones is not IP rated.
i received the 12t pro today, just need to decide on what one to keep now, mostly used for day to day use, with the odd game of cod. i like the idea of the pop triggers, but with the 12T pro, it is better spec, but less ram 8gb in 12t pro, 12 in bs4p., also got the free tab with the 12t pro, but it is £120 more.
what to do??????
