The excellent output from the 3.5mm jack, all you need is a good pair of earphone. I tested it with XB70AP.
Big 4050 mAh high-capacity battery coupled with power efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 processor and the battery saving features of MIUI makes it one of the most longer battery life smartphone.
16MP rear camera| 5MP front camera are not the best camera but it performs better than many phones and best at this price tag.

CONS:
-
Does NOT have Corning Gorilla/Dragontail or any kind of glass protection(can be solved using a tempered glass).
Hybrid slot for the Micro SD and 2nd sim card.
No NFC, No USB type-C.
No Quick Charge 2.0(It has old previous generation fast charging).
Nonremovable battery.
The speaker is placed on the back side and the output from the speaker in all Xiaomi phones is average or below average in this case this phone won’t be audible in the noisy environment and from the another room.
Very bad bootloader unlocking process, you have to wait at least 10 days to get it unlocked.
Limited availability, even after it is available on all sites.
MIUI is the heavily customized android, and because of it takes ages to update their base, right now it MIUI 7.1 comes with the base of Android Lolipop and there will be a long wait for the Android Marshmallows.

VERDICT:
-
Overall this phone is the beast I must say at this price tag, It clearly beats all other phones in same mid-budget segment. Redmi Note 3 has everything a flagship device can have today. You can not demand more in this mid-budget segment. Everyone who is looking a smartphone under 15k, Go for it.
I am providing some pictures of the product for better understanding as "A picture can speak a thousand words".
