KILLER PHONE REDMI NOTE 3!. Review on Xiaomi Redmi Note 3

STYLE & DESIGN:

Looks, however, weren’t what the Redmi Note 3 was going to win me with. Don’t get me wrong: the phone looks great for a budget offering, and it is clear that Xiaomi has put effort in giving it character – by going for a metal body, for instance, or by adding a shiny metallic trim around the glass covering the front. In spite of this, the handset couldn’t thrill me with its appearance.

In the hand, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 feels bulky and heavy, which is to be expected given the considerable capacity of its battery cell. It is well balanced, however, and and its curved corners make it comfortable to handle. I’m also happy to report that all buttons work well, while the fingerprint scanner is positioned right where my index finger naturally rests.

DISPLAY:

On the technical side of things, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 sports a 5.5-inch LCD display with 1080 by 1920 pixels, which, in human speak, means that it is big and stuffed with more than enough pixels to deliver clear and crisp visuals. For a budget-friendly handset, this screen is nearly perfect.

HARDWARE:

The Redmi note 3 has a 1.8 GHz Hexa core Snapdragon 650 Processor which has 4 Cortex A53 Cores and 2 Cortex A72 Cores which makes it the most powerful performer in its range.

Redmi note 3 has Adreno 510 GPU for Gaming. This phone has 2/3 GB RAM variants with 16/32 GB storage options.

CAMERA:

Releasing a phone at a low price point requires some corners to be cut, and the Redmi Note 3’s weak link appears to be the camera. Yes, it gets the job done given enough light, but its image quality is average at best. And that’s even though the setup seems promising on paper: the camera shoots 16MP stills, the sensor boasts phase-detection autofocus, and the lens has a wide, F2.0 aperture. It has a 5 MP Front camera with F2.0 aperture for decent selfies.

SOFTWARE:

The Redmi note 3 comes with Android Lollipop 5.1 along with MIUI7 which is its custom UI with lots of customizations.

4. Sound through loud speakers is low.

The phone is snappier in performance but heavy gaming can result in UI lag and even Asphalt 8 lags in this mobile. Camera lovers may be disappointed as it has poor low light performance and does not have 4K video recording support even if it has 4K supported CPU. This phone is definitely a value for money phone for performance lovers only. The phone takes a lot of time to get android updates so this phone would not impress camera lovers but it is a decent phone.
