A chinese is always chinese. I took this phone two months back brushing aside all negative comments, thinking it might be just few cases. I was wrong.
Took Redmi Note 3 in July, 2016. Within 3 months the wifi function of the phone stopped working. When I took it to the service centre they said, its a software problem, it ll be fine within a day. When I went back, they said its a hardware problem and we ll have to replace the motherboard, it ll take at least 30 days. I mean how can they make someone wait for 30 days. I asked the service say to give me my phone till the parts come. He said he cannot. Trust me guys, there were 10 more people who had come with the same problem. Some were saying then after replacement their phone isnt functioning like before.
These people are only taking money and cheating. The parts they replace it with I believe is lot cheaper and they reuse the parts in the phone we give for servicing.
So if ur going by its price tag, dont go for it. Its going to be a pain for u.
