Design
Successor to the Mi Note 2, the Mi Note 3 is practically
indistinguishable from the Mi6, simply adding a larger
screen (only slightly larger, mind, at 5.5in vs 5.15in),
and losing the glossy coating around the edge due to
its 7000 series aluminium frame. A little bit of extra
weight, in part due to the higher-capacity 3,500mAh
battery, makes it feel more substantial in the hand.
We’re not complaining: the Mi6 is a very good-
looking phone, if lacking the futuristic bezel-less
design of the Mi Mix. We’d like to see a taller, thinner
display built into the Mi Note 4, but for now thanks
to its gently curved rear edges and slim side bezels
the Mi Note 3 is just about manageable in a single
hand – particularly if you make use of MIUI’s One-
handed mode.
