Xiaomi Mi Max 3

Received my premium 6GB/128/GB Mi Max 3 about 10 days ago, delivered to me by DHL here in Nairobi, Kenya.

Trading Shenzen said they would send me one with the XIAOMI.EU ROM. Turns out they had a problem with that ROM and asked me if I would accept the official Chinese ROM. I said yes go ahead. No issues with the Chinese ROM, in fact I'm happier with the official Chinese ROM than I would be with the developer beta ROM.

Simple to get Playstore on it, then it plays just like a regular Global ROM, with very rare occasions of seeing Chinese. I will flash the Global ROM when that is available. But, I will not be in any rush, official Chinese ROM is working brilliantly here.

Oh...awesome phone this black Mi Max 3, 6/128 GB - plenty room for music, videos, pictures, apps etc etc and the camera is infinitely better than on my Mi max 2 !!!!
 
Just fetched my 4/64 Mi Max 3 from Aramex. I am so excited to play with it this weekend!!

Loving my Mi Max 3 so much and have got used to the size so quickly. My wife's P10 feels like a feature phone in my hand now.

Popped in to report that Miui 10 Global Stable just started rolling out. Downloading it OTA now....
 
First time over 11hrs Screen On Time and still have 20% battery left. Can't get enough of this phone!

Miui 10.2.1.0 Global Stable rolling out with November security patch. Battery percentage also moved to inside the battery icon which some are already moaning about and seems unnecessary considering how wide the display real estate is...

Xiaomi discontinues Mi Max and Mi Note lines

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun went on Weibo today to shed light on the brand’s product line strategy between the Mi and Redmi series. In addition, he stated that we won’t be seeing successors to the Mi Max and Mi Note lines this year.

The CEO specified that the Mi brand will continue to focus on high-performance models incorporating the latest innovations like the Mi 9, Mi Mix series and the upcoming CC range. On the other end of the spectrum, the Redmi brand will deliver cost-effective phones which offer all the essential features in a more affordable package.

Really holding out for this to be untrue. I absolutely love my Mi Max 3 and was banking on a Mi Max 4. Sad day if true.
