Gogi, Your review for all products are quite impressive. I planned to buy a redmi note 3g handset, when I searched for buying it says need an registration. It says registration is closed for redmi note 3g.. Could you assist me that how to buy that guy…
Gogi, when you will give Review of Redmi Note, Camera Performance please also compare Redmi Note camera with Redmi 1s camera, by giving sample shot of each camera like

I’m still confused about Redmi Notes camera , every body in GSMarena stating Images are grainy, blind in low light, noisy, and Redmi 1s camera is better than redmi note.. If Redmi Note’s camera is actually performing a 13MP then I’ll go, other wise i’m happy with my Sluggish Redmi 1s.
Hope Gogi will clear out doubt.
Hi Gogi/All,
I have registered for redMI note and have following concerns to clarify to go ahead before i book;-
1) Can you tell by when u shud recv handset from Xiaomi and you can do in depth review?
2) I have heard that out of 2gb Ram, 1gb Ram would be assigned to MIUI interface and only 1gb ram would be available to user?
3) can you confirm that we will recieve MI rednote with corning gorilla 3 protection.
Many thanks in advance. I have been really appreciating your reviews and feedback so far. In short i always count on your responses which are always final verdict for me. Keep up the good work Gogi đ
1. Don’t know
2. Seen the device it has 1.3GB of free ram at boot
3. Yes gorilla glass protected
Tks bro for ur reply..Can you also confirm the android version we will be getting…kitkat or jelly bean….and will it lolipop update?
Bro, I wanna buy redmi note 3g but its registration is closed now.
Could you help me to buy redmi note 3g mobile,where I can register and buy.. Please help me
which is best in Asus zenfone 5 and redmi note…..
Gogi, no doubt your reviews are great & detailed . it could be more detailed if you add just 2 more points in your review.
1) Display – Distance between touch glass & actually panel (like its ultra low in Moto g,e,x )
2) speakers – low,MEDIUM,good,very good !
Gogi dear can you please give some information about the MiTv….. I will definitely but it.
Mi is the best hardware combined with customised software….. How will it be in tv? What’s their box?
No news about that could happen in 2015 in India. It’s all in one.
Too much wait could spoil the mood !
Nor interested anymore . . . . . !!!!!!
If you are not interested then why did you comment….. It shows that you can’t ignore mi….. The company is going great guns
Lol…..Rofl
Mi Ui is the worst launchers i have seen in today’s mobiles which lags heavily and consumes lot of ram, i don’t know how it gonna be in note, plz review it asap gogi.
stock android is the fastest, even on phones with similar harware specs.
I myself ported miui roms in two if my phones, zen ultrafone 701 hd and mmx colours a120. Now on both their stock rom, high end games like asphalt 8 and mc5 lag much but on miui rom, though free ram is less.
I mean games do not lag in miui rom at all
I am surprised that Xiaomi still thinks that this strategy works!
It’s not 1980’s that customers had to queue up for months to buy a Maruti 800 and even then it was a hit and miss.
I know tons of peope (including me) who have simply opted for other phones because they were available when we wanted to buy.
I wanted to buy a Octacore-2GB phone this month for myself and after doing the comparisons, I opted for the Micromax Canvas Nitro A310. I could not even consider Xiaomi phones because they are simply not available for purchase. Even without Xiaomi in the playing field, there were such a large number of good products which matched my requirements, that I had to spend considerable time narrowing down to the one that suited me.
You are right, Rajib.
Now, See it is a Win-Win Situation.
Xiaomi is getting its business (The demand exceeds their supply!!). There is no compelling need for them to change their strategy.
Consumers too are having numerous options to choose from.
Be happy with your overpriced junk and stop blaming the company’s strategy of earning the most possible profit when their profit margin is so so low.
gogi ji,
I WANT UR OPINION ON CHOOSING REDMI NOTE 3G VS 4G…for my requirement 3g version is enough and more value for money for me….but only one thing that I feel in 4g model is dual band wifi….can you help me to understand that actually how much this thing increase wifi video streaming in mobile…if it is just little comparable then I can ignore 4g model and go for 3g model….plz give ur valuable comment.
Reasons to choose 3g
1. Dual sim
2. Faster cpu+gpu
3. Cheaper
4. No use of 4g in my location
5. I can live with slower updates and quite happy with 4.2
Reasons to choose 4g
1. Qualcomm processor, expect more 3rd party development and quicker updates than mediatek (it’s with 4.4)
2. Don’t need dual sim
3. 4g is more future proof
4. Lighter than the 3g model
5. 64gb card support
It seems redmi note is not having gorilla corning glass for indian version of phones. Please confirm. Even in flipkart they are silent on this aspect.
As per NDTV first impression the redmi note is Cg 3 protected.
Thank you. But flipkart doesnt say anything. Actually on on twitter it is shown to make a selling point….like 5.5 inch and gorrila CG 3 ……so i doublt it might not be having it, or else it would have got a definite mention….
its with gg3 protection dont worry
Gogi please confirm these aspects in redmi note……. 1) does it support 60 fps video? 2)does the camera have any sensors like BSI etc for better image quality?
it does support 60fps but support 120 fps hd vid and any vid of 42mbps
Dear gogi ji
Please let me know that the note 4g will run only with AIRTEL or it will be compatible with others too. Also confirm it is single sim or dual.
Note 4G is not locked with Airtel, it will work with any provider.
Xiaomi may cross1 milllions mark in few weeks

Gogi sir, any idea as to when mi4 will come to india??
Aman, it will be in early 2015. No specific dates have been mentioned.
Gogi, pls do the review before the sale if possible
Hi Gogi,
I have pre-ordered Alcatel One touch Flash. And now registered for Redmi Note too. In your opinion, which is better?
The 1.4GHz, 1G Ram FLASH or 1.7GHz, 2G Ram NOTE?
I have noticed that the free memory in 2G Ram Asus Zenfone 5 is no better than that in 1G Ram Moto G.
(1) Please advise me, whether I should go ahead with Flash, or try for Note?
(2) Will the 3K+ Battery in these 5.5 inchers, last longer than the 2000mAh battery in 5 inchers.
Keep up the good work.
Not much of a difference between the two. There is 2GB RAM on Note but the MiUi will use most of it.
Thanks gogi. I am not particularly a fan of large phones, nor do I hate them. But if the 3000+may battery cannot run the show for more than a day, I would prefer to give them a miss. Aap kya kehte ho?
Finally I got registered after so many attempts…yes due to traffic it shows something went wrong please try again later…keep clicking

Hi Gogi.
Eagerly waiting for the TV2 as well. As per the specs, it looks awesomely awesome:);)
And i hope, they will be launching the latest MiPad as well which is having calling facility in it đ
One more thing, Does 4G note supports other networks for 3g and 2g usage
YES
Yes. It does support.
This device works with both 4G bands in India: FDD-LTE (Band 3 â 1800 MHz) and TDD-LTE (Band 40 â 2300 MHz) and also runs on 2G and 3G networks
Gogi sir, performance wise which note will be good 3G or 4G, which GPU is better Mali 450 or adreno 305
pls reply i am confused between both handset.
Mali 450MP4 is better than adreno 305 GPU cuz Mali 450 MP4 is a Quad Core GPU whereas Adreno 305 GPU is a Single core GPU Overall GPU is good enough to play HD games as Moto G 1st and 2nd gen has adreno 305 GPU it can play HD games.
Your ans. Is right but your ans. Is wrong.rhitish
thats a typo mistake i said both Gpu is good enough to play games as moto g has adreno 305 gpu it can play HD games
Redmi 1s is in my cart. This is the last sale of redmi 1S .. so hurry up and message me fast….. whatsapp +918053997982
if they will discontinue it, then it will be a great disappointment to me. i was saving money for long to buy it and now am only halfway. đ
#collegestudent
