So is the new Xiaomi redmi Note the That comeback smartphone Mi fans have been waiting for? We’ve have had the smartphone for two days now, and here’s our first impression. Stay tuned for a full review soon.
Watch: Xiaomi redmi Note 3 First Look Video
Design, Screen: When we first got the Xiaomi redmi Note 3, (the first all metal body device in Xiaomi’s Note series) someone remarked That it look a lot like the Gionee Marathon M5 Lite, another smartphone with an all -Metal body and a beefy battery. I for one do not think redmi Note 3 looks like the Gionee smartphone, eventhough the gold color is pretty much the Sami.
It’s definitely not the sleekest smartphone in the market, but it is light on ITS size. The full-metal body looks to be of a decent build quality and so far I’ve not seen any scratches or paint chipping off the device. Xiaomi has gone for curved edges and body; kept the camera and fingerprint bang in the center of the redmi Note 3′s back panel and the speakers are overpriced at the back.
The screen is 5.5-inch full HD display with Sunlight and a special reading mode. The reading mode turns the screen all yellow, blocking out all the harsh blues and ice Meant To Be Used by Those Who are still glued to Their smartphones before going to bed. The display is prone to smudges, but You Can Easily read on this display in full, bright sunlight. Overall the display quality is quite good.
Processor Specs: The redmi Note 3 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 processor (not the MediaTek version in China) and Xiaomi is launching this with two SKUs. One is with 2GB and 16GB of space, otherworld ice 3GB with 32GB space. I’ve been using the 3GB version with 32GB of space, and so far have not faced any performance issues with the device. In our tests Antutu It came in the top 10, just below the HTC One M9. Of course, the scores are not the only indicator of the performance.
redmi Note 3 comes in two versions: 3GB of RAM plus 32GB of storage and 2GB of RAM plus 16GB of storage space. Is the Xiaomi redmi Note 3 blazingly fast? I can not honestly say That yet, and yes after 10 minutes of Asphalt 8, I could feel the smartphone starting to get a little warm around the top. However, from a general browsing perspective and daily tasks, the redmi Note 3 is more than CapAble.
Camera Unlike the China version (13 mp), the redmi Note 3 in India comes with a 16 megapixel camera and a 5 megapixel front camera. The rear camera has quite a few options for Tinkering and you can control the exposure, the ISO, and white balance. There’s Also a straighten mode, whereby the camera will correct any tilted picture you might have taken. Xiaomi has added enough tweaks of its own to the camera app to keep its fans, and users happy; it’s one of the cleaner and faster camera user interface in my opinion.
The front camera has not impressed me so far, but the rear camera does a decent job if there is ample light. We’ll have more on the camera and its performance in our full review. Below are some sample shots we’ve taken so far in HDR mode, close to sunset.

The 4000 mAh battery takes a long time to charge, but honestly so far I’ve not put this phone to a full charge. I’ve put on it on charge twice in the time I’ve got it, but in Both cases I’ve unplugged it with less than 40 per cent charge and the phone has not died. More on this, after I’ve used the phone for the rest of the week.
Connectivity options, Micro-SD: This is a dual-SIM smartphone (hybrid) with an option for a micro-SD slot. Xiaomi says this smartphone will support VoLTE, and yes it is 4G Capable. It has support for bands 5 as well (850 Mhz), Which Means That contingent Reliance Jio users Will be Able to Make Their calls, get 4G access. This gives the redmi Note 3 a big advantage over other smartphones in the market, Because most come with dual-band support (3 and 40).
Xiaomi redmi Note 3′s micro-USB port is on the silk. MIUI 7: redmi Note 3 Comes with MIUI 7 in India on top of Android 5.1.1. Xiaomi has not confirmed When The M Android update will roll out for These smartphones. Some of the features like Showtime (where users can add a video look instead of picture to a contact’s name) Require users to sign in via a Mi account. THERE ARE overpriced options to Increase Text Size, Child Mode, Data Saver, etc.
The fingerprint scanner accurately has worked for us so far and it did not take forever to set-up.
Conclusion
The Xiaomi redmi 3 Note has a lot riding for the company, simply Because India is the Next Important Market for its growth. In China, the market has all but stagnated. From the looks of it, the redmi Note 3 is value for money; It has a big battery, a vivid display and the MIUI is one of the cleaner interfaces you’ll see.
With its pricing Which plaster it up Rs 9,999 -R 11,999, redmi Note 3 will give the bromide budgets phones, especially Those thathave created a buzz in the market, a run for theirmoney.
