Phone designed in conjunction with NVIDIA and offers a great value for your money
Xiaomi may be on many people's minds with its recent acquisition of Hugo Barra from Google, but the Chinese handset manufacturer took the stage today to announce its latest high-end handset, the Mi3. Wrapped up in a nice-looking aluminum-magnesium body that is available in a variety of colors, the Mi3 is claiming to be the world's first handset to go on sale with NVIDIA's latest processor on-board (regardless of what ZTE may say).
The Mi3 is powered by a 1.8GHz Tegra 4 processor, along with 2GB of RAM, a 5-inch 1080p IPS display (441 ppi), up to 64GB of storage and a 13MP (a Sony Exmor RS unit) camera. Clocking in at just 8.1mm thick, the Mi3 has a 3050mAh battery on board, and together with the power-saving technology of the Tegra 4 Xiaomi is claiming all-day battery life. On the software side, you'll find Xiaomi's highly customized MIUI experience.
As is the case with all other Xiaomi phones, the Mi3 will be going on sale directly from the manufacturer in the Chinese market. While this particular Tegra 4 LTE model is China-specific and doesn't seem to support any US 3G or LTE frequencies, Xiaomi has also announced a Snapdragon 800 version of the Mi3 which supports common US and European radio bands with HSPA+ 42.
Amazingly, the fully unlocked and unsubsidized price for the Mi3 is just $327 (1999 yuan) — an absolutely great deal considering the complete package here.
