Unboxed: Xiaomi Mi 3

The Xiaomi Mi 3 will go on sale in Malaysia this 20th May at an incredible price of just RM889. It packs high-spec internals with a 5″ Full HD (1920×1080) display and runs on a top end 2.3GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM. If you’re wondering what comes in the box, we’ve just unboxed one for your viewing pleasure.

Xiaomi looks at cost very seriously and they’ve cut out unnecessary spending in marketing and distribution by selling their products direct to consumers. The cost saving trend can also be seen in their packaging as well. The Mi 3 box is obviously no frills but it is decent enough to deliver the goods in perfect. The contents of the box is pretty simple. Apart from the usual documentations, you get the phone, a charger and a micro USB cable. Even headphones are not included but it is available as an optional item on Xiaomi’s online store.

For our review, we’ve gotten a China unit that comes with a US-styled 2 prong 1A charger but for Malaysia, Xiaomi will be including a 3-prong UK charger. As users may use different sim card sizes, 2 SIM Trays (micro-SIM and mini-SIM ) will be included in the box. The decision of including 2 different trays was to ensure that users can use the device straight away without being hampered by incompatible SIMs.
