>I have no idea about their quality Got Redmi Note 3 Pro a while back from China. Came unlocked (+) but rom was adware probably installed by seller (-) - installed CM immediately and it was trivial (it did require a PC and a few CLI commands so for end users this might not be as trivial). So about the phone - the reason I got it is because it seemed like a smartphone that had everything I needed (browsing/4g/streaming) at a price point where I wouldn't care if I lost it or it broke down (~150€ with VAT after imports). The screen is great, touch accuracy is very good which was my main problem with cheap chinese phones before. Battery life is OK, lasts me a day with 4G and WiFi on and a few hours of active use. One problem that was specific to my device I guess is that the notification LED is stuck in red - it blinks in other colors when I get notifications, etc. but it's always red (and this was before I installed CM). Maybe pulling the battery out and returning it would fix it but that seemed involved and I don't care enough it doesn't bother me anymore. Camera is mediocre, it will snap pictures when I need to share something practical (like sending a picture of a document that arrived or a package or stuff like that), but it's not something I would for taking photos - but I don't do that anyway so it doesn't matter to me. Fingerprint sensor works fine. It doesn't look cheap. Overall great value for money, unless you need a phone for taking photos I don't see why you would pay more for an android phone as an average user. |

MIUI has options to set all notifications, calls and messaging. So any app that doesn't have own color settings blinks in the color of the default set. For apps that don't have LED notifications (I'm looking at you Instagram, is it really so hard in 2017) I use Light Manager app.
