Now that Xiaomi is set to release the Mi 3 to the public starting next week, a lot of people are looking at it as a local smartphone killer thanks to its high-end specs and aggressive price tag. But on paper, does it really have everything to obliterate local competition? Let’s find out by pitting the Mi 3 against local flagships in a spec battle below.
Xiaomi Mi 3 vs Cherry Mobile Omega Infinity
Xiaomi Mi 3 pros:
* Higher pixel density
* NFC
* Android KitKat
* Larger battery
* Lower price tag (Php4,400 less)

Xiaomi Mi 3 vs MyPhone Infinity
Xiaomi Mi 3 pros:
* NFC
* Android KitKat
* Larger battery
* Lower price tag (Php2,400 less)
MyPhone Infinity pros:

Judging from the pros listed above, the Xiaomi Mi 3 wins across the board for having the lowest price tag, largest battery, and the latest iteration of Android OS. However, it lacks some of the features that some Filipino smartphone consumers need such as Dual-SIM support, larger internal storage due to the absence of a microSD card slot, and a scratch resistant display.
To conclude, if you’re in a budget, the Mi 3 will get you the most bang for the buck. However, if you require the added features mentioned earlier and don’t mind shelling out a few grand more, then the local flagships are still viable options.
