However, one of the biggest qualms over the Mi 3 smartphone's specifications was whether the handset available in India came with Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Notably, the company's official site and Flipkart's Mi 3 listing did not specify the feature, creating uncertainties for consumers.

Now the company, also referred to as 'China's Apple', has clarified on Twitter that the Mi 3 sold in India comes with scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The Mi India's official Twitter handle said, "Did you know? All Mi 3 phones sold in India come with scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 3!"
