Comparison: xiaomi mi3 vs samsung galaxy s3

The comparisons of the Xiaomi Mi3 continue, this time from the hand of a Galaxy, the Samsung S3 model. Throughout the article we will see if this new model of the brand China is at the height of the competition or at least, it is at the cost, offering a good quality / price ratio. Although we talk about terminals of different ranges, the specifications of the Xiaomi, as we will see later, are very remarkable. In professional Review what we seek to find is if the proportions of its costs are in line with that of its characteristics. We begin:

Screens: The Xiaomi has a large 5-inch ultra-sensitive screen with a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The Galaxy has 4.8 inches AMOLED (consumes less energy and is more visible in sunlight) HD, with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The two also share IPS technology, making it possible for them to have very sharp colors and have a wide viewing angle. Both use Corning Gorilla Glass 2 crystal crash protection for Samsung and Xiaomi Gorilla Glass.

Processors: the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8274AB 4-core 2.3GHz SoC together with the Adreno 330 GPU, accompany the Chinese model. The RAM is 2 GB. Its operating system is MIUI v5, based on Android 4.1 and internationally recognized for its high customization, efficiency and stability. The Galaxy S3 meanwhile has an Exynos 4 Quad 4-core CPU at 1.4 GHz and Mali400MP graphics chip . It has 1 GB of RAM and Android as operating system in version 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Designs: Regarding size, a very important aspect to know about the manageability of the Xiaomi Mi3, this Smartphone has dimensions of 114 mm high x 72 mm wide x 8.1 mm thick. It is made of an aluminum-magnesium alloy, allows an ultra-thin design and thanks to its graphite thermal film achieves better heat dissipation. The Samsung for its part has a size of 136.6 mm high × 70.6 mm wide × 8.6 mm thick and weighs 133 grams. We can find it available in navy blue and white.

Internal Memory: As we have already mentioned, the Xiaomi Mi3 has two models. One of them is 16 GB and the other is 64 GB. Of course, this Smartphone does not support any type of external memory card, a fault that we have found in the phone, so the user will have to settle for the ROM of the model that he has chosen. The Samsung model also has two different terminals for sale, one 16 and the other 32 GB. This device does have the possibility of expanding its memory through micro SD cards, up to 64 GB in the case of the Galaxy S3.

Batteries: 3050 mAh of capacity if we talk about the Xiaomi, one of the highest that we know so far in the market, and 2100 mAh in the case of Samsung. As we can see, both smartphones are accompanied by batteries that will have a not insignificant autonomy, especially in the case of the Chinese model, although it will also depend on the type of use we give the terminal (games, videos, etc.).

Cameras: The rear camera of this Smartphone, given its low price, also attracts a lot of attention. And it is that, it has a resolution of 13 megapixels and a Sony Exmor RS sensor. And not only that, but it also has a dual Philips LED flash, which improves the intensity of the light by 30%, allowing higher shutter speeds. It has a 2-megapixel wide-angle backlit front camera. The Galaxy S3 for its part features 8 megapixels, with BSI technology (which improves snapshots in low light conditions), in addition to an LED flash. The S3's front camera has 1.3 megapixels, useful in any case for video conferencing or photography. As for the video recordings, they are made in HD 720p at 30 fps.

Connectivity: 4G / LTE makes an appearance in the case of Samsung (depending on the market), otherwise we will have to content ourselves with more basic connections such as WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth or FM radio.

Availability and price: The general evaluation that we can make of the Xiaomi Mi3 is excellent. And is that, taking into account that its price ranges between € 299 for the 16GB model and € 380 for the 64GB model of internal memory, we have a battery and a camera on the phone that we do not find on Smartphone that double the price of East. That it does not have a memory card can put you back a little, but if you opt for the 16 GB model or, if you prefer, for the 64 GB version, you will have enough space to store thousands of photos, songs, programs, movies and series on your Xiaomi Mi3. The S3 for its part is a phone that is currently around 300 euros as a free terminal, whose prices vary around 20 euros depending on the color of the device (seen on pccomponentes.com).
