If you are looking for a phone which can handle everything you throw on it then this is the phone .talking about the hardware it is made out of a full meta body chassie, it has a fingerprint scanner an it's backside .above the fingerprint scanner there is a camera which is of 13 mp which does a good job in direct sunlight legibility but is a pretty mediocer in low lighting.there is a power or wakeup key on the right side of the phen followed by the volume rockersavobe it.There is a IR blaster beside the 3.1mm headphone jack .
Now talking about the software part it is powered by snapdragon 650 SOC.
We also like how comfortable the phone feels in the hand. It's a bit tricky to use one-handed, but is fairly slim at 8.7mm with good weight distribution.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 will come in two variants. What we have today is the one with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage, but you can opt for the other model with 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage if your budget is tight. Officially, storage can be expanded by up to 32GB by using a microSD card instead of a second SIM in the hybrid slot, though unofficially you can put cards of bigger storage capacity as well.
Thanks to the Qualcomm chip, the phone features Category 7 LTE for Band 3, 5, 40 and 41 along with VoLTE support. You also get dual-band Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac, Bluetooh 4.1, USB OTG, FM radio, Miracast, GLONASS, and BeiDou. NFC is one feature that's missing.
Software
The phone ships with an Android Lollipop fork called MIUI 7, which is has been reworked from the ground up. Compared to earlier versions of MIUI, version 7 is certainly more likable and better polished. It's still a single-layered interface, but it does let users customise the look and feel with transition effects and themes. The Theme Store app has a pretty good selection of free themes, and we particularly liked the Marshmallow one.
