The Redmi series has always been Xiaomi’s bread and butter. Combining good design, features, and reasonable performance at a very attractive price, the Redmi series has redefined for many what a good budget smartphone should be like.
The latest in the series is the Redmi Note 3. The phone is the successor to last year’s Redmi Note 2 and improves upon several key aspects, such as a metal body, fingerprint sensor, brand new chipset, and a larger battery. It’s especially improved over the original Redmi Note Prime, which would be a big deal for people in India who never got the Redmi Note 2.
Today, the company is launching the Redmi Note 3 in India. . The new release comes with Snapdragon 650 and since we’ve had the chance to play with it for the past few days, we’d gladly share our impressions.
