Xiaomi MI 3

[amish]

Not a DUAL sim phone?! - From gsmarena

In that case I would not be interested!

@SVK - I guess you are technically right. I would say if you want something to be private better not have it anywhere, especially not in electronic media..

Another drawback - Non-removable battery!!

So if your battery dies, you are forced to find service center and probably pay higher for replacing battery.

@mhsabir exactly what? (something to be private)

 

[mhsabir]

Anything. Talk to warthog. He might be able to tell you more

 

[Nishant]

He would be waiting for a ham radio variant of MI3

Been using mobile phones since 2001, never changed battery. Some of my phones are 8 year old.

Non-removable battery issue is generally overblown.

Further, Apple might charge you a bomb for a new battery, others wont.

Can't even find an original battery for Galaxy Nexus outside Samsung service center.

 

[mhsabir]

I guess some phones have required for battery to be removed, reinserted & restarted at some point to fix hardware or other such issues?

The power button should be enough. Didnt face any issue with my tab for 2.5 years
