Xiaomi Redmi 3x - User Reviews

  • I forgot my mi account and password pls help

  • I bought this phone for business use, very good quality, long battery life, 4GB ram, no crush apps. But also got some disadvantage but not really a big deal for me, GPS sometimes not accurate, some apps cannot use in this phone, fingerprint scanner need cannot detect my fingerprint (keep showing not recognize), average camera, if too many photos loading speed a bit slow.

  • i own this phone for 2 years now... yet, its still the hardiest.. no matter it got slammed, submerged... somehow, its tough :D touch screen has no issue eventough i use thick tempered glass... yes, overheat sometimes happens, but its normal, because of many background applications running...

  • The best phone that i've ever use (sorry for my english)

  • Flash the stable China rom on en.miui site, it happens because you are not using an official rom

  • Great budget phone. Why many are commenting complaints about touch screen? I have been using this phone as my secondary device since Nov 2016 and never faced any touchscreen issues, but I am not using screen protectors. Its battery life is amazing. Phone is not perfect but considering the price it is a very good phone.

  • the touchscreen has a trouble in sensitivity

  • Playstore in 3x?

  • One of the best budget phone. Buy Redmi 3X.

  • Tons of popup adds. What to do?? Need help.... Otherwise it is a fantastic phone compared to it's budget. Thanks in advance.

  • Been using this phone for 3 month now. No heating prob (only occur when using VR). The touch a bit less sensitive but when upgrade to MIUI 8 Stable, the problem resolve. SO far no prob using this phone. Battery life is average and performance is average. Of coz this one is average coz the price is also average.

  • been using this for 4 months, and based on my experience, it works well, but not the best... i don't have any other android devices, so i compare it to my iphone 5... even my iphone 5 works slightly better than the phone (3x)... battery life, good. very good. i can watch youtube, or gaming all day with some % left at the end of the day... touchscreen, become less sensitive when you put on a tempered glass. but better when you take off the tempered. just let it bare, without any additional protection on screen. you would have some difficulties with the keyboard when typing. i often typo when typing with 3x. really. i dunno what's wrong, but it happened. gaming performance, not too good... it can handle some games, but you need to close the apps behind. camera, so-so. just like any other budget phone cameras out there... but it's good for the price range. :) so do not expect more. sound, so-so... it's not too loud because the speaker is under the phone. literally. it's on the back of the phone, so, you know... well, the things that i can compliment most about this phone are the battery life, the design, and the price.

  • Dont buy this phone... This phone is really2 BAD touchscreen. Not sensitive. Better 3s than 3x

  • I wanna buy a Redmi 3X. But everyone say that the touch of this phone is no sensitive. Have this any solution of touch? And i also want to know that how is the sound system, battery 🔋 backup , and heating issue? Please anyone reply me.

  • Redmi 3x support dual 4G??

  • doesn't really have a playstore? how can i download it?

  • Should be 3x is better than 3s...3s have lot of network issue...

  • What is SAR level for this model ?

  • Only difference in RAM siZe.

  • -Just change your location and payment information to Philippines in google wallet, then go to settings, installed app, google play store and clear data. -Then you can purchase from that store. -Are you out of the country? (Philippines)

  • What server should i choose, Mainland china, India, Singapore?? THeres no philippines. And i cant access google play. Pls help

  • Yes, the best at this price range

  • Is this phone a good upgrade? I have been using a SM-g360h for quite a while and i need an upgrade.i found one of these in my country for the equivalent of 135 dollars. Is it worth the price ??

  • Helo guys. I have some problems with my Redmi 3X camera. It suddenly stop working,and get better after I turn the phone off. Does anyone know what is the problem? Also battery drained over night from 50% to 3%. Help please!

  • I don't know why you got those problem with the touchscreen's sensitivity, because I am also using tempered glass and not having issue at all, my miui version is MIUI 8 6.12.15 China Developer (Beta), I think you missplace your tempered glass? or perhaps you used bad quality tempered glass? btw I using this temperead glass:

  • Adreno 505 has a better score than Adreno 418 on Antutu benchmarks

  • In redmi 3x & redmi 3s prime which one is better in performance What is the difference between these two???

  • If you choose Redmi 4 Standart Edition it was a waste.. Snapdragon 430 (same with 3X) RAM 2GB (same too with 3X) ROM 16GB (3X has 32GB of ROM) Adreno 505 (same with 3X again) 5" HD IPS 720p (same with 3X) Right now we need more ROM.. 16GB of ROM is not enough again for now.. If you want buy Redmi 4, I suggest you to buy Redmi 4 Prime version.. Redmi 4 Prime has 5" IPS Full HD 1080p, Snapdragon 625 (same chipset with Zenfone 3 ZE552KL), RAM 3GB, ROM 32GB, Adreno 506.. Redmi 4 Prime was a worth phone than standart edition..

  • ello everyone, how to upgrade ROM

  • hi guys.. just want to know which GPU is better between Adreno 418 and Adreno 505

  • Which one is better Xiaomi redmi 4 or xiaomi redmi 3x

  • If it has changed to miui8 , the problem of less sensitive touch has lost ?

  • This is such a nice device for its price. Bought this around IDR 1.700.000 in my country, and works well How ever im facing less touch sensitivity even now im in MIUI 8 Global Stable 8.0.3.0. If i put some tempered glass protector, no matter how good is it, the touch is become less sensitive. This problem never happen if i didnt use any screen protector, but since i know that 3X doesnt have any protector from the factory, not using any screenguard will not being option at all.. Anyone has advice?

  • Redmi Note 2 is suck in battery.. The durability was suck.. It drains soo damn fast!! But the performance was good in his class~ Good performance but sucks in battery endurance.. And then I changed to Redmi 3x.. I very satisfied use this phone~ :)

  • I'm updating to MIUI 8 Global 6.11.17 Beta (1.5GB updates).. It still fine.. Or should I change the ROM?! Just sometimes the LCD rarely not responding but not a big deal.. Antutu Benchmark is about 35k.. Gaming performance is still fine.. Real Racing 3 & NFS No Limits still ok.. Point Blank Mobile still fine.. Battery performance was very good!! Almost 1 day normal use in the night still 30% left!! No heating up problems~ I buy in Indonesia for IDR 1.580.000~ That was the cheapest smartphone with 32GB ROM & fingerprint with very good battery!! Snapdragon 430 is enough even with 2GB RAM~ I can handle all daily use without any problems~ Very good smartphone with cheap & best performance in it class~ :)

  • 1 more.. If you can't use 4G then go root it or use a custom ROM.. And then, VOILA!!

  • Of course for system.. Or you want a phone without OS just like a laptop without Windows?!?! HAHAHAHA~

  • Thanks for the info. After upgrading the RAM, it become super sensitive even with screen protector.

  • Here, this phone is only 6.75 USD more expensive than Redmi Note 2 2/16GB, the bad from 3X is non removable battery and no dedicated microSD slot, how good this phone than Redmi Note 2 ?

  • just update to miui 8 if you have problems about touchsreen not responsive, it s work for my 3x, good battery life and price is cheap..

  • no. go get a screen protecter if you are cosidering buying it

  • amazing phone at great price

  • Touchscreen is not responsive

  • So many redmi 3, 3s , 3x 3s prime, wth?

  • So I've purchased this phone and till now I like it. The battery life is good, the 2 gb of ram are enough for me, the only thing that I don't like is that the buttons are not iluminated at night... So weired, but not impossible to use.

  • I like 3X design better. 3S is more like Redmi Note 3 while 3X more like Redmi Note 4, more angular/square in shape. Thus, more solid premium feel. 3X comes with 32GB ROM/2GB RAM while 3S Prime with 32GB ROM/3GB RAM. 3X is cheaper. Both have Snapdragon 430 inside so you can be sure the performance if top notch for what you pay for. If you want greater performance, opt for Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon 650 or Redmi Note 4 instead.

  • ok thanks!

  • From what I could see, only the RAM, the 3S Prime has 3GB while this one has 2GB. If I miss something, please correct me.

  • whats the difference between 3x and 3s prime?

  • gole color glittering use world no 1 smart phone ok please

  • There isnt problem at xiaomi 3x

  • it's a good phone and good camera phone with low price.. but after updated to MIUI 8.... the identity of this phone changed from redmi 3x to Redmi 3s.. but it's not a big deal.. the performance still good,, and i love the interface of MIUI 8.. and the battery cover me a day for normal using...

  • if your Redmi 3X's touchscreen is not sensitive you must Update to ROM Global Stable MI UI 8.

  • Is there has any effect if i update v8.0.3.0 for this phone ? And what is the additional function ?

  • yes buddy I am also facing problem with touch. Touch is less sensitive

  • yes, the touchscreen is less sensitive if you're using tempered glass, even the expensive nillkin glass. thus while charging, it getting worse..

  • Really bad? How bad than redmi 2 prime?

  • I have a question. I want to buy this phone. But when I read some opinion, someone tell that having trouble with the touchscreen of this phone. Is that true???

  • Thats redmi 3s not 3x

  • does it has screen protection,,such as dragontrail or gorilla glass??

  • Does it support Reliance jio??

  • Yes.....I'm currently running the global stable rom 7.5.9.0 but it's still a bit less touch sensitive. It's a hardware bug I think. But when I removed the glass protector from the screen i feel it's a bit better now.....but not up to the mark.

  • i really hope this xiaomi redmi 3x camera quality really look like real 5mp front and 13mp rear quality. not like the other cheap smartphone use the "interpolated" crappy bad quality type camera.

  • if your Redmi 3X's touchscreen is not sensitive, you must Update to ROM Global Stable.

  • if your Redmi 3X's touchscreen is not sensitive, you must Update to ROM Global Stable.

  • sometimes im thinking...the 2gb &3gb ram from xiaomi phones doesnt really hv much differences.. i used the mi4s, mi5, redminote 2prime... the redminote2prime performed as good as the 3gb mi5...it's down to software optimization.. indeed the free ram is only 700mb on 2gb but in 3gb ram the free ram was hardly 1.7gb free, most of times only 1.3gb.. and im just a casual gamer playing non heavy duty games, use alot chat apps for work and that's it. thinking to buy this pc but the redmi 4 is around the corner ffs.

  • Return it to the shop, ask for the new one.

  • I just got this phone from a contract in China. It is great

  • The phone is superb! It's specs surpasses most phones in this price point

  • Just bought the phone, I got the global stable ROM and it has all the languages available, if the phone available in your country it should be the global ROM. But if you plan to buy an import version you will likely get the China ROM, which have no G apps and has only 2 languages, Chinese and English.

  • this phone hasn't released in my country yet. i don't know if it ever will. i wonder if it's worth buying an import one. i'm most worried about the language. is there english language for everything like guides/help etc?

  • Screen protection is like every other flagship. Check the Redmi 3 pro bend test on youtube.

  • Both the phones differ in Processor, GPU, RAM, eMMC, dimensions, diamond cut design, metal use and overall benchmark scores. Overall, Redmi 3X is marginally superior in performance and aesthetics over Redmi 3S & Redmi 3.

  • What about screen protection?

  • 3 , 3 pro , 3s and now 3x whats the difference

  • And Another Superhit Redmi
