Hello, i want to change this days my phone and i first looked at the Zenfone 3 ZE520KL but now i discovered Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro 3gb+32gb (Qualcomm) and i really really want to know more about it. I will use it in Romania, it's the "kenzo" good ? I want this one because i see a lot's of custom roms and i love the Cyanogenmod or RR. How's the battery,daily performance,gaming performance and battery performance ? I don't care to much about the camera. Thanks a lot for the answers ! :good:
If you don't care too much about the camera,I personally think that the redmi note 3 snapdragon 650 variant(2 or 3 gb) is great.
The kenzo refers to the redmi note 3 with a snapdragon 650 processor, sometimes called the redmi note 3 pro.
battery life is great. You could easily get 9 to 12+ hours depending on your setup and usage. Daily performance is smooth, there are very few, if any stutters or lags. I don't know about gaming, because I don't play very intensive games, unless ppsspp counts. If it helps, playing ppsspp is smooth, and there are no lags or stutters when playing, unless you intentionally speed up the emulation, where the game stutters a bit.

I Recently bought this device, The 32GB SD variant and the performance of this device is like HELL Awesome!
The gaming performance is amazing like it can handle all games without any lag.
I played Nova 3, Asphalt 8, Gta San Andreas, Dead Tigger 2, Over killed, Nba, Sbk 2k16 and also some games on the psp emulator(PPSSPP) WITHOUT ANY LAG! TRUST ME.
The Camera performance is also amazing but not in bad lighting but still it's awesome. You can record videos in full HD (1080p). The camera doesn't seem to have auto stabilization but if you use a tripod than the quality is just amazing. The front facing camera is also good, Can take awesome selfies and I don't have anything bad to say about this.
The battery backup is also amazing... JUST Amazing! It last me around 20-23 hrs with heavy usage.
The display is also amazing and sharp you can watch YouTube videos in 1080p.
The fingerprint works gr8!
The only problem is that we just get about 1.3gb of Ram available out of 3gb but still I never notice any lag on this device.
The reason behind this Ram issue is the MIUI!
MIUI takes a hell lots of Ram as it's a custom ui but its optimization is well like I never notice any lag while surfing the phone/web or even while playing heavy games.
Still if you think that this is a problem for you then you can always flash a custom ROM on your device.
I think MIUI will improve there Ram optimization while updates. So don't need to worry.
Overall believe me if you gonna buy this device than YOU GOT THE BEAST IN YOUR HANDS!!!

Thanks for the reply I know the MIUI isn't the greatest android, thats why if i'm going to get this device i will install the Cyanogenmod or RR in the first day. But how about the screen ? I read that we dont have any screen protection...
its tempered glass i put another nillkin h+pro glass on top of it anyway. but the original its scratch resistant...just like gorilla glass.
and miui isnt bad actually...its pretty nice, dont worry about RAM though, SD650 is really powerful so even if it loads from CPU its fast

Xiaomi did not reveal the details about glass protection they used. Instead they said, the glass is scratch resistant has equivalent protection as same as gorilla glass provides.

I haven't played longer than 30mins straight, haven't had the time yet. After 30mins it was warmer than usual, but far from uncomfortable. I'll try to game for 1 hour straight tomorrow, to see if it gets uncomfortable.
Edit: gaming 1hour straight doesn't make it warmer than gaming for 30mins.
i try play mortal Kombat X while connecting my device to my tv using connector.it looks extremely amazing,like you are play in a ps4,the graphics,the details,the performance ,all great .hope everyone check this game while connecting using EMUI desktop feature

I played battle bay for 43 minutes, i dont think it goes hotter than my old s8 or my meizu pro 7,
It still comfortable enough to hold.
I use my Mate 10 primarily as my gaming machine now to play Mobile Legends and Arena Of Valor. I can play like 2 games of 20 minutes each on average for 10% battery reduction. Resolution set to QHD and highest quality graphics. It never gets too warm to hold. Gaming performance is superb. Sound is excellent. One major problem is that video overlay for Skype and FB Messenger doesn't seem to work so I can't video chat with my team mates while playing. I can only voice chat. Still trying to find a solution other than use my other phone for video chatting and wifi connect to it with my Mate 10.
I only play Sonic forces, but I get stutters and low fps all the time. It is so annoying. First I thought it's the app but it never does that on my iPad... It is super smooth there surely 60fps. On my mate 10 pro it feels like 30fps at best sometimes dropping to 15/10. I also ran the phone maintenance thing and close all apps... Same thing happening.
Any ideas?

Let us know what happens.
I grabbed a OnePlus 5 and that thing is half the price and wipes the floor with the mate 10 when it comes to smoothness and performance specially in gaming
witch firmware are you on? i noticed low performance on 129 but on 131 it's good.
Can't get mekorama to play smoothly... Stutters like crazy.. Only game I've had really noticeable issues with....
i still dont get 131 firmware the curent one that i have is 129 and its horible to play games on...i would go to service centre but i have very bad experience with them(when i had sgs7)i think they will try to make me look like a fool again but anyway when i get time i will go and ask for a side by side test to see if there device is any better then mine. thanks for sharing info guys...

Mate 10 cant run "into the dead 2" smooth
I have compared it with s8 and diffrence was a lot
S8 was clear and smooth and no fps drops but mate 10 did ****
I gonne sell it just now after 2 days use
mate 10 pro on 129 runs everything smooth and fast for me...shadow fight 3 for example runs liquid smooth and several other games, with HD graphics and also lower graphics, all run fine..

im asking myself if ppl even know what smooth experience is...im not judgeing u or anything but i have a feeling that u maybe dont see it well OR ur device is flawlees like ur saying...this is making me nuts a little bit so im gonna see with waranty guys what will they say about it. my device definetly cant handle any game u throw at it...for example asphalt 8 works probably around 20-40 fps very slugish and also i play guns of boom a 3d shooter games and it works smoothly at firs 3-5mins but then after every few minutes the perfomance only goes down and down to a point u cant play a game anymore...definetly cpu throtlin...but i have a feeling that at waranty service they will say that is everything normal with the device, just like they did at Sony when i had xperia phones.BUT i have learned from the past mistakes and they wont get me again...i know my rights
Hi everyone,
I received the Pie update today and did some benchmarks for fun.
Turns out the results are much lower than the registered ones on the websites for Mate 10 Pro with Oreo.
My device:
Mate 10 Pro 9.0.0.161 C432E4R1P11
Tested with latest versions of Geekbench and Antutu from Google Play Store.
Geekbench on Pie, my device
Single Core 1787
Multi Core 5446
Geekbench on Oreo, website
Single Core 1902
Multi Core 6673
Antutu on Pie, my device
139803 (for example Mate 20 Lite scores 138890)
Antutu on Oreo, website
209042
A friend of mine also got the update today and reaches slightly higher scores in Geekbench.
I did some benchmarks in the past and remember I didn`t really reach the high numbers on the websites but it wasn`t that far away, so no big deal.
But now it looks weird. I guess some compatibilty issues might need a fix or the apps are just not updated.
Would be nice if you could also check if you encounter the same "problems"
Thank you
I'm not on Pie, but I heard they have performance mode disabled by default now.
Also, they used to artificially boost benchmark scores by running the processor higher than normal when it detects a benchmarking app. Did they fix it in Pie?
They cheated.
You have to activate the performance mode on pie
Thx for the info guys, much appreciated. I activated performance mode and results are even slightly better than on the websites.

Do you can tell us how to activate performance mode ? Is the performance in games much better as in emui 8?
Please install for test Shadowgun legends and put settings on ultra and 60 FPS and tell me if it's smooth if yes it's awesome because in emui 8 it was always lagging
Performance mode is located in battery options and there are two modes more - power saving and ultra power saving mode. AppAsisistant is also new and this is one more option to get a better performance by activating game acceleration mode.

Game is not playable at those settings, sry. Doesnt reach 60 fps and has heavy lags when explosions etc. happen.

According to some Youtube videos, Mi A3 was performing poorly with gaming, as its firmware was supposedly unoptimised and full of bugs. One Youtube reviewer claimed that (I didn't bookmark the video so can't post the link) Mi A3 4/64 version was struggling to run PUBG even with Balanced setting (second from lowest), while Redmi Note 8, which has same chipset ran PUBG with Medium setting (3rd from lowest) quite well.
Now that I am planning to buy this phone, I wonder, if bugfix and optimisation updates have resolved the issues that this phone supposedly have.
In a nutshell my question is, how well can you play games on this phone right now?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a3/themes/pubg-graphics-hd-hdr-enable-mi-a3-t3967602
PUBG runs quite well on HD settings with extreme FPS. However, I had to use GFX tools to unlock the settings. I'm on stock rom with no root.

How does it perform this way: HDR graphics, Extreme FPS, Realistic mode, Anti Aliasing ON?
yesssss because from the company the SD 665 was underclocked.....therefore gaming struggles....but if we push the processor ......waaooo what a performance man...pubg play smoothly at 60fps?.....Zeroo graphically lag

I have an SM T865
and I have been having problems rendering the COD Mobile.
I tried several times Force Gpu rendering but it doesn't have this option in the developer options.
only 4x MSAA
does anyone know why?
I was wondering the same thing. I'm not having any issues with CODM though I've only had the device a couple of days though. Hopefully someone will chime in.
Sorry to be a dumbdumb but what advantage is there to forcing GPU vs default setting?

I can't explain to you exactly what it does but I've had it turned on on every device I've had for years. And I can tell you for sure with 100% positivity
That I had considerable better battery life. Especially with the last two devices I've used which were the Razer phone and Razer phone 2.

I'm playing on medium graphics, max fps.
Lowering the fps to very high makes it look so bad that I dont even want to play br anymore.
Edit: i just tried it on very high fps medium graphics. Black screen 2x during the match.
Also fps very high gives me a headache. XD
Anyways tried so many settings, also in developer mode. Nothing helps. And I've played alot, currently 9300 ranked XP in BR. 1 or 2 crashes during every game.

I'm with you there I can lower the graphics to medium but I don't wanna lower the fps from max at all. It's something on the game side for sure. I come from playing on a Razer phone 2 and this used to happen even in multiplayer but this is the first time I've experienced it in a long while. Hopefully they get it fixed. I never in a million years expected Fortnite to run smoother then CODM on this device but it does. Lol!
Oh almost forgot are you using force 4x MSAA in dev option? It'll help with graphics if that's what you like.
And you've got 9300 ranked xp in BR with it crashing like this? Is the tab s6 the only device you play on? If so sir my hats off to you geez that's amazing.

haha yeah, I've reached 10.075 XP now. I crash 2 or 3 times each game.
4x msaa enabled yes, same with the "disable hw overlays"
Ever since my last post switched to low graphics with medium fps. It looks so bad but at least I only crash 1 time a game. The moment someone runs sideways though, I'm doomed because of the framerate. Hard to hit them.
Also noticed I crash more often when I play with friends.
I reached legendary mp halfway of April, basically only been playing BR these past 1,5 month thats why the high amount of XP. Would have been way higher without all the black screen losses.
yes, i'm a Cod addict

Yeah its software related but its cod specific. They started blaming it on android 10 but it also happens on android 9.
It has gotten worse every new update so you cant blame it all on android.
On android 9 I noticed it getting a little bit worse every new season/update but still it was occasionally so I was ok with it.
Then android 10 came out and it got really really bad. Multiple times during the same game.
I ended up resetting and going back to android 9. Still black screens happened but it was 1x every 2 or 3 games.
22 May update got released and it got as bad as on android 10. Multiple crashes/black screen. (I'm not the only one, people on reddit noticed also increase after may 22 update)
Seeing as there was no difference between android 9 and android 10 anymore, I fully reset tablet back to android 10. At least on android 10 my tablet has the latest security updates.
So at this moment it doesnt matter anymore if you are on android 9 or 10. Cod crashes.
Tomorrow a new cod update gets released so lets hope that fixes things.
Also we should be expecting a new tab s6 update soon also if samsung keeps its promise. Quarterly updates, last update has March patch so June patch makes sense.

That's incredible XP. Lol! This was the first season I pushed in ranked was able to reach master 2 on both BR and Multiplayer. But I was playing on my RP2 there's no way I could have done it on the tab s6 with all the crashes. Your right it does look Bad at those settings BR isn't my fav game mode so I basically stopped playing after I reached the goal i had set. But I have been running the settings at Max everything and all other options turn on. I didn't pay another 700 for a tablet to run medium graphics you no what I'm saying. The frame rate difference from the tab s6 to the RP2 is crazy I never imagined it but it is. Even though CODM isn't 120hz supported I always ran 120 in my game booster settings and I'm miles better on the RP2. It's just so much smoother.
Maybe the CODM Devs will get it worked out. Im a controller player also I hope they finally add support for regular BT controllers not just Xbox and PS4. It's so janky feeling it should be so much better I no it's a mobile game but still who would have every thought we'd be gaming on phones and tablets why not use a controller if you can. I no some people like touch screen I just can't get it I'm a 80s kid I've always used a controller. Lol!
Something else I've noticed as of lately in Dev settings. Bluetooth Gatt Service always running at first I thought I had BT scanning still on but no. No scanning nothing at all Bluetooth related on and this is still running. I had a issue with a wallpaper last week when I tried to set said wallpaper my tablet shut down went into a boot loop. Ended up having to factory reset to get it back on. Scared me to death any way I no before this happened that I never saw this BT service running by itself. I'm kind of OCD about things running in the background. Anyone no how I can get rid of this? Or no what it is and why it needs to be running?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
