The Mi 3 offers what no other smartphone can give at its current price range: a 2.3 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 16GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM, a 5-inch full HD IPS display, and a 13-megapixel rear camera.
Filipinos don't need smartphones to send and receive money, get disaster alerts, nor request emergency services, among others. All they need is a feature phone -- that is, a regular handheld -- and trusted, secure, and resilient infrastructure to connect them with the rest of the world.
