Xiaomi on Thursday launched Redmi Note 3 in India, its first launch of the handset outside of China. The company has introduced a new Qualcomm-based variant of the handset for the country, separate from the MediaTek-based handset that was launched in China in November last year.
The new variant of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 runs Qualcomm's Snapdragon 650 SoC, and Xiaomi claims it is the first smartphone in the country to do so. It will be available in Dark Grey, Champagne Gold, and Silver colours, and Xiaomi says the smartphone is its third 'Make in India' offering in the country.
The Redmi Note 3 will be available in two RAM and storage versions - one including 2GB of RAM and 16GB of inbuilt storage, and other 3GB of RAM and 32GB of inbuilt storage. The 2GB variant is priced at Rs. 9,999, while the 3GB variant is priced at Rs. 11,999.
The smartphone features an all-metal body and also packs a fingerprint scanner at the back, just like the original Redmi Note 3 with a MediaTek SoC. Xiaomi says users can store up to 5 fingerprint profiles. Users will get a 2-month free subscription to Hungama.
The highlight of the new Redmi Note 3 is it packs a hexa-core Snapdragon 650 processor (four cores clocked at 1.2GHz and two cores clocked at 1.8GHz). Other specifications of the smartphone are identical with original, including a 5.5-inch full-HD 1080x1920 pixels IPS display and offers 178-degree viewing angle. The company as of now has not given price information for the 3GB/ 32GB variant of the Redmi Note 3.
It runs MIUI 7 based on Android Lollipop and supports dual 4G SIM cards (Micro + Nano). The handset packs a 4000mAh battery with fast charging support that can charge up to 50 percent in 1 hour, same as the Redmi Note 3. On the camera front, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 sports a 16-megapixel rear camera with phase detection autofocus (PDAF) and two-tone flash. It also houses a 5-megapixel front camera. It measures 150x76x8.65mm and weighs 164 grams. For connectivity, the handset supports 4G LTE (compatible with Indian LTE bands), VoLTE, Bluetooth, 3G, GPRS/ EDGE, GPS, Glonass, Wi-Fi, and Micro-USB.
