Xiaomi is planning to enter the Africa market this September

Just came to say that the Note 3 we have is actually the Special Edition and MIUI 8 stable is not out yet. When I got the correct Developer ROM flashing it was easy with Updater app

So not so special after all

What ROM (version) are you on? Can you post your procedure to install it.

http://en.miui.com/extra.php?mod=rom/download&r=301&mobile=no#449 <--This is the link

Be sure to select Special Edition Global at the top and then you can select the Developer ROM download.

Once downloaded you just copy the zip to your phone and then on the phone you open the Updater app and select "choose update package"

So how's it verses the MIUI7 stable? Stable enough as a daily? Big difference?

Nah not a big difference at all. In fact, on the forums some have reported worse battery life. Other than that it seems to be rock solid.

You could rather wait for stable release.

This summarises the new features:

My favourites are the new notification drawer and the updated sound controls

Do they have note3 covers and screen protectors?

They should be expecting stock anytime soon as I see they've already allocated space for it.

Am I wrong, or is the Redmi 3S a new addition at Takealot? I see it is priced the same as the Redmi 3 was (R3299) and the Redmi 3 is out of stock and possibly discontinued here?

As long as there is no problem with our current smartphones I am happy!

 

[Pakka]

Yes. I don't see anything different between the two though?

Different processors and GPU and the 3s has 3gb RAM and a 13mb camera where our version has 2gb RAM and 16mp

You can customise various elements of themes like icons, lock style, status bar, etc from the theme picker app.

Why does that look like it is for a Note 3 and not a Redmi Note 3....
