Xiaomi has unveiled its Redmi Note 3 Smartphone. It’s the
successor to last year's Redmi Note 4G handset. One of the unique features of
the new Smartphone is the addition of a fingerprint sensor, which is still a
rarity in the budget segment.
The all-new Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 has a 5.5-inch display with Full HD
(1080x1920p) resolution and runs on MIUI 7 software, based on Android Lollipop
OS. Powering the device is a 2GHz octa-core Mediatek Helio X10 chipset, which
is usually found in much more expensive handsets. The Smartphone comes in two
variants; 16GB internal storage and 2GB RAM; and 32GB internal storage and 3GB
RAM.
For imaging, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 packs a 13MP
camera with phase detection autofocus and two-tone LED flash on the back as
well as a 5MP camera for selfies. Connectivity suite of the Smartphone consists
of the usual: 2G, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and dual-SIM functionality.
A 4,000mAh battery keeps the Smartphone running.
Despite the beefy battery, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is only 8.65mm thick, but weighs
a hefty 164 grams. The new Smartphone is an all-metal affair with an iPhone
6-like look, since Xiaomi has done away with the plastic body of the successor.
The 16GB variant has been priced at 899 Yuan (approximately
Rs 9,350), whereas the 32GB model costs 1099 Yuan (approximately Rs 11,400).
When Xiaomi brings the Redmi Note 3 to the Indian market it will have to use a different chipset in the device, since it is only allowed to sell Smartphones with Qualcomm chipsets due a pending court case.
