Xiaomi Mi 3 review: The way of the dragon

Xiaomi one of the largest smartphone vendors in its homeland - China - and it's one of the most popular Asian mobile brands. It has given the world the popular user-friendly MIUI for Android. But the crown jewel, of course, is their current flagship phone - the Xiaomi Mi 3.
The Xiaomi Mi 3 is the company's best-selling phone to date packing top-notch technology and blazing-fast Android experience. The MIUI launcher feels at home on a Xiaomi phone delivering amazing performance. It is very easy to use and yet hides some powerful functions and services for advanced users.

The Mi 3 has it all - a wonderful unibody design made out of polycarbonate, a 5" IPS display of 1080p resolution, a top-notch Snapdragon 800 chipset with 2GB of RAM, a capable 13MP camera with Full HD video recording, and a massive 3,050 mAh battery for long-lasting smartphone experience.      
Sounds great, right? Here comes the complete feature list.

5" IPS 1080p capacitive touchscreen with 441pi pixel density; Corning Gorilla Glass 3

Main disadvantages

The implementation of a unibody shell has required some sacrifices though, as in the inability to replace your battery being the most major. The lack of microSD card slot is surely a bummer for some, but this trend seems to be spreading among lots of popular manufacturers lately. The lack of 4K video isn't something we would hold against it, if it wasn't for its flagship status.
    

Enough with the small talk, let's get down to business, shall we? Our Xiaomi Mi 3 exterior tour kicks off right after the jump.

1. Meta tags Title  — use your primary keyword at least once in the page title as close to the start of the title as possible. A primary key would be the one with the highest search volume from your  keyword cluster . Optimize the title for both search terms and user intent — getting a real estate on the first page for the desired search term today doesn't guarantee you'll be ranking on the first spots tomorrow if searchers don't click your listing or the bounce rate is significantly worse than your competitor's. Keep your titles under 60 characters (600px). Here's a title format example:  Primary Keyword — Secondary Keyword | Brand Name, Location Description  — is a concise summary of the page's intent (not longer than 140-160 characters or 1, 100px) that isn't used directly in ranking algorithms (at least search engines representative say this), but is extremely important from the CTR perspective. Descriptions serve more like an advertising c...
