Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Xiaomi Mi Max 3, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

So ..I guess we're waiting for the first owners to receive their phones?

****y service with ****y phones. No more Xiaomi for me. Had enough with Mi Max 1 &2.
They don't release sources on time. MIUI is a joke of an OS and they promise one thing and deliver something else.
JThis is just a hype created by Xiaomi. Not a worthy upgrade to either MM1 or 2.

I heard there are some issues unsolved. Like the phone speaker not being able to adjust the cracking sound volume on phone calls on the mi max 2.
However I was lucky with the Mido. Everything works in Lineage OS without any bugs of whatsoever.
I can just cross my fingers and hope official Lineage OS will come to this phone :fingers-crossed:
For me it took three days to get the unlock code as described that it should..even though there was some issues with the unlocking process that took some extra days. But I guess your mileage may vary.

Yes I tried in Apr for a friend's phone don't remember the model it said wait for 15 days. So please check Xiaomi forums you would know.

I too believe that xiaomi should be consistent with releasing updates on time and don't show false hopes... and shdnt be biased toward specific range or models. How much love xiaomi showed for mi max 2? its still nougat and here devs are on their own to release upgrades with help of unknown or incomplete sources...
Teasing and luring won't help sometimes... just adding screen and a bit processor upgrade don't worth it and even if they add some great hardware still its question abt how much xiaomi will support this device or is it future proof?

That's one Honest Opinion! And I'm sure of that!
Xiaomi makes great phones but:

Yes, the partially source code is one bit I'm dissatisfied with Xiaomi.
I have the router 3G and you can choose to use padavan with closed-source original drivers.
Or you can use open-source drivers with LEDE and an alternative QoS module to avoid overload issue that makes the wifi disconnect the clients after a while of up time.

Waiting for this!

In in the display or the ergonomics (feel it should be display) you should ask if the display is too narrow relative to the diagonal (not diagonal am sure there will be folks who will say it is too big etc)...but more about the aspect ratio-is it too long relative to the width as the SCREEN width is no more than an old Samsung Mega 6.3 (same in fact)

I am going to develop for this device like i did for the previous Max's

Edit: nevermind, it was shipped this morning.
Any idea when it will ship?

I made the mistake of buying max 2 after max 1. The sources released almost 9 months after release of the phone. No more xiaomi for me. I'll gladly pay a little extra for another phone that has the software I want without bugs.

The Mi Max 2 is my fave all time phone.. I've happily UPgraded from a Exynos Samsung Galaxy S8+, which had terrible battery life..
Mi Max 2 with the latest xtended Oreo rom is amazing, highly configurable and SOT is nuts using kernel auditor. So yes I love SD625 and this phone, which my wife is also using but with standard MIUI.
Looking forward to the Mi Max 3 in the future.

Just gotten my Mi Max 3 today shipped directly from Shenzhen, China! :silly:

Question Switching miui version

You will need to lock the bootloader for the certified play store.

Is it really a good Phone? I wanna buy Mi 11T Pro, but YT says it's not good For Gaming. I wanna buy this for Content Watching + Gaming. As it has Snapdragon 888, i also want to buy a cooling Fan, like Black Shark Funcooler Pro. But is it a good Idea? Can i get Stable FPS? Or Performance will drop, even using a cooler?

On 11t non pro you get fps drop its not stable at 90 as seen on gameturbo ingame shortcut it goes 65 to 90 in between. Sometimes it drops a little from 60 but mostly it stays b/w 68 to 85 approximately. But temperature is good maximum reached is around 42 but where i live its hot so temperature management is good I think. But one think you'll miss on this device is custom roms.

Well it doesn't game well but still better than dimesity 1200, and I have no problem playing honkai impact 3 with max graphics with a memo dl5 cooler, much cheaper than BS cooler.
And unlocking BL will break certified status and safetynet, the only exception is xiaomi.eu rom which will trying to hide BL status, but unfortunately they alr dropped mediatek support.

Flashed miui Indonesia closed boot loader through flash tool. Device is playstore certified. One thing that is missing is boost option from security can you tell me how to get it ? Also if you press notification clear button (new notification) after clearing notifications the device locks .

Question Performance of 888

Can we actually get the full performance of Snapdragon 888 in Xiaomi 11T Pro? Many reviewers says it's underperforming. Can we enable it's performance?
I have another question, people says it has throttling issues. Can i use it for heavy gaming? If i use a cooler fan? Does it will give a stable performance?
How is the phone in day to day use? Does it over heat?

on stock miui i dont think so, plus 888 and Gen 1 has heating issues so i dont think its a good idea also

MIUI is likely the cause of the problem here, I tried with a custom unofficial google experience rom the results were surprising as it surpassed the MIUI usage ones. Yes, even with a good custom rom that is lite will make the processor show its true self. I am using the White model with 8gb of ram and 256gb of storage to note. (Brought it in early 2022). I suggest you install a custom rom or anything to make MIUI lightweight. Custom rom is google experience unofficial version 12.1 .Snapdragon itself is already a beast when it come to performance. If want google experience unofficial rom for this phone click on this tutorial. >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-install-custom-roms-gsi-11t-pro.4396021/

Using a GSI Rom gives you tons of performance. The miui is the one slowing it down. Miui score for multi core is 2800 ish. Meanwhile I got 3203 on Geekbench. The phone does have a little bit of overheating. Other than that it performed well in normal indoor conditions and some outdoor. Honestly don't even dare to use MIUI.

I uses on previous phones, redmi note 7,8 pro , Poco f2 pro, Redmi note 9 pro 5g , so manu custom ROMs, Boootlegers, Pixel expirence, Project Elixir, CorvusOS , Radiant Project... Every single one is a good AOSP ROM, especially because of battery. but I can not and never will used to use Gcam, MIUI Camera is such improved, have so manu options, that is amazing. yes , Gcam do all automaticlly but MIUI camera have all that setttings and for those who love photography isnt hard to set up settings manually...
I already unlock boootoader , flashed Xiaomi EU but , with thus cpu no need to use AOSP

I myself personally have a dedicated mirrorless camera. For me performance matters. (Small political opinion) I am using no MIUI for many reasons. First thing USB debugging security. Yes, I have to enter my MI account. Calculator app sends to Xiaomi servers. THIS is not a cool OS. AOSP based rom suited me fully with all hands. MIUI also is laggy and eats resources. Xiaomi also made a timer when a critical setting is changed. I have had enough, and go for other roms instead. Say no to MIUI and say hello to other roms, they are here to stay.

I have already planned to install a custom ROM on it knowingly. Right now due to external crisis I need a bang for the bucks. You know that the economy all ran down. Yeah and smartphones got expensive. Plus I at least get speed. My Xiaomi account that I created is an alt as I used a alternative email to do that. I might sound weird, but hear me out. Earlier on I tried google normal GSI Rom and then pixel experience unofficial GSI Rom. The phone in the website also said android enterprise recommended... On the English version of the website this also lead me to think that even I know MIUI sucks I at least might be able to change the Rom to get price down.

ok,i see

If it is underperforming, I'd say it is still leaving a good impression on me. Bought one a couple of weeks ago (My S21u was stolen) and performs very well.

I change mine RN9ro 5G sd 750g with aslo 108mp camera ,with flash AOSP roms I got easly 2 days of battery , now I chane it to 11T pro and cant get used to that battery is almost empty in the evning.. but peformance of 888 is awesome... its twice faster opens apps then on RN9pro 5g

Question Should i upgrade to P7

Hi
Thinking about getting P7.
Some unclear topics:
1. Is it runing warm in simple use(yt.fb,browser)?
2. Does it support tap to wake and widget to lock screen?
3.Does it have widgets on screen available for mobile data,hotspot,wifi?
4. Is its camera step up compared to others flagships?
5. Does it have adds like xiaomi has in prei stalled apps. Is there bloatware? How many gb free when just opened& booted up?
6. Any bugs?

No don't, my p6p runs so much smoother and has double the performance due to the GPU, the Mali G710 on the p7 is more towards battery saving, but I don't see a difference in battery, 100% stay with p6 or p6p, the only upgrade you get really is software related

The GPU is only a slight downgrade in the P7, stop being so overdramatic. There's obviously something not okay with your 7.

I upgraded from a Pix3 so it's a lot faster with a lot better battery life for me. I use mine more like a phone, texter and email checker than a gamer or social media user and I use about 40%/24hr day.
1. Not running warm
2. Yes. No.
3. Kinda. It has widgets for settings shortcuts to these areas but not actual toggles/indicators.
4. I think the Google camera on this platform is excellent
5. No ads in preinstalled apps that I've seen but some would consider the Gapps as bloatware compared to AOSP
6. The fingerprint sensor/experience stinks! You should definitely google that before you buy if you're a big finterprint user.

I am using Mi note 10 now, looks like will wait till Xiaomi 13 will be available.

I'm not good with the CCP but both Pixel, Samsung and Gookill Android have been degrading these phones for the last 3 years.
No expandable storage, many only have 128gb internal storage and 6-8gb of ram. One member has a thread up complaining of only 4hrs SOT with their P7.
Between scoped storage, 5G and the variable refresh rate display they tanked the SOT. For what? This Note 10+ with a degraded (and smaller) battery that's do to be replaced gets more than twice that. Dual drive 500/1000gb with better color accuracy.

It's not just Pixels that suck; Samsung's overpriced new flagships are expensive hand warmers too. If you don't care about having a variable refresh rate display and 5G, get a new or used N10+. New ones are loaded with Android 10... don't upgrade it. Security simply isn't an issue in this case. A better balanced phone with excellent build Q and a solid workhorse.
Both Google and Samsung now are more marketing hype talk than action. That's my opinion. No trophy unless you earned it.

If your phone hw is powerfull, then it will be hand warmer in winter.
Other issue is PWM, some flagships(Mi 12t as example) declare 1920 pwm, but in lab tests it is only 120hz(info from notebookcheck review).
My another option is Xiaomi 12x( good hw, not heating, pwm high, good battery stats), but not available via carrier e-shop. Xiaomi 12 powerfull hw, heating issues and also lower battery stats). Lets see how Xiaomi 13 deals with heat,pwm,etc.

F###k no more security patches for Mi note 10 pro and also no miui 14:
Xiaomi Security Center
Xiaomi Product Security Center provides users and partners of Xiaomi with detailed information on the security status of our smartphones and IoT products, including product security advisories and notices, security updates and support information, and security incident response process.

Some redmi 9t even will get.
Strange move from Xiaomi.

I upgraded from the P6 to the P7. (I wasn't looking to upgrade, but when Google offered $479 for my P6 and the P7 was on sale for $499, it was a no brainer).
The P7 is hand down more fluid than the P6. It "feels" faster than the P6. I was actually surprised at the difference because I wasn't expecting much difference between the two.

same feeling and the fact that its getting smaller was a no brainer for me...I upgraded from 128gb p6 to 256gb p7 for 100 bucks....It'll be crazy not to take...
I honestly thought somebody at google did some wrong math and giving peopel this crazy deal...but then again its google...they are rich enough for me not to feel bad.

In what country Google offers such deals to exhange p6-p7?

It was in the US at least. However the trade-in values have already dropped and the sale prices end 12-24-22. So while you can still get the phone on sale, you can't trade in your P6 for $479 anymore. (I just checked and Google is only offering $150 for the P6).

U.S but not anymore...I just exchange a p5 for p7...p5 was giving $400 and they gave 100 off for cyber monday

In Germany I got 350 euros for a apple iPhone 8 plus and payed 570 euros for the pixel 7.
Liked my pixel 6 but got a cracked screen due to bicycle crash and a new screen would have been 190 euros

Question Mi 9T PRO to MI 11 ULTRA Big difference ?

Hey guys ,
I'm using my mi 9t pro since 3 years now , currently on evolution X ( amazing rom by the way thanks to the dev . ) and I'm very interested about buying a mi 11 ultra but still have few questions .
Does someone did the changing as me ?
I'm currently struggling on battery since I used my smartwatch connected and I'm out of battery around 22:00 every day with just 5h screen maximum , will the mi 11 ultra the same ?
Thank you for your advises

Can someone also tell about wifi chip issue? I am planning to buy this device but read some where that it has issue where wifi stops working and its hardware fault?

I had Mi 9, Mi 10 and now Mi 11 Pro(which is pretty the same as Ultra expect tele camera an rear display which nobody uses). Also, month ago I bought Mi 9T Pro for my friend.
I still have Mi 9 and Mi 10 and Mi 11 Pro/Ultra is going to be your miracle in life. In combine with MIUI14(the fastest OS in 2023 I can say), you won't come back to any other phone.
If you decide to buy Ultra, prepare yourself for making CPU cooler with one magisk module.

Thank you for your answer

Thank you for your answers ,
Can you be more specific on what will be the life changing please ?
Also what about the battery life of your Mi 11 pro please ?
I eared the soc 888 is very bad for battery optimization and some people have only 3-4h of used before running out of battery ?

Well, camera - Leica mod and GCam made this phone one of the best on the market if we are talking about camera.
MIUI 14+ A13, big battery. I'm charging it once a day(I'm heavy user, as I'm listening to YT while working 8h + message apps).
Battery is great with Efficient Tuner(check on XDA).
With it performance is the best.
I can't check sot because I'm heavy user but it's more than 4 hours - at least it feels like that

I'm also using Mi 11 pro . Not many people using probably because they're scared since it's a CN model. But they don't know that CN rom actually has basic google services, just need to be enabled in the settings. Or you can just flash global or xiaomi.eu rom or AOSP.
So far I've flashed the global/eea rom , then the xiaomi.eu rom.
Now it's running Evolution X , and getting better battery runtime.
The phone has been really good , no problems encountered so far.

Ok, I'm probably well equipped to answer your question OP. I moved from the K20Pro (Aka 9tpro) to the 11 Ultra.
Things to note. Overheating can be a pain, seems to be better on miui13 and later firmware though. Camera is much better, battery life not so much. Imo, its about the same as when I was using the 9tpro. Faster charging speeds are good too, high refresh rate is good too.
I was an early adopter of the 11ultra and my first unit got fried about 11 months into its life but afterwards I've got it replaced and seems to be good for now.

My replacement is also a late 2022 production. June or July iirc. So far, the WiFi hasn't crapped out on me yet. Heating issues still remains because it's not a Xiaomi manufacturing issue but a sd888 issue.

Hopefully we are safe , I saw somewhere someone talking about a production without issue on 2022 but can't find anymore
I will play with the phone with Chinese version for a week then put the global miui14 on it I think, what is your recommandations ?

Good afternoon. I come from 1 year with Motorola and OnePlus. Where can I check the motherboard, to know if I will have problems in the future with this equipment?
I was also a user of the Mi 9T pro, more than 1 year ago. Then jump to 1+ 7Pro and then motorola

Hey there ,
When you received your phone on the back you will have the IMEI code .
You just go on https://xiaomicheck.com/
And put your IMEI code on it and it will show you if the phone is new , warranty date AND the production date .
But yet we are not sure since when they change the motherboard on the production..

Thanks for your answer. My only doubt is regarding the way they mention the date. Here in Mexico we always put: day/month/year. And some countries, I think they change, the month and day or day and month
