First I would like to thank Xiaomi & Hugo Barra (Vice President of International for Xiaomi) for giving the opportunity to explore the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 even before it’s release. I’m one of 100 lucky Indian who got this device as part of Mission “MiExplorer”.
Xiaomi the Chinese technology company is about to release Redmi Note 3 in India, Redmi Note 3 release date in India isn’t confirmed yet but chances are company will make some official announcement on 24th February.
Xiaomi has been known for making well designed, well-built devices with smoother performance than the other devices in respective price slot. Since I have just unboxed the device, it will be too soon to say anything about performance. But the design of and build looks impressive at first sight.

First, let’s have a quick view of its specification.
- 5.74 Inch display with a resolution of 1080×1920 pixels & 403 PPI.
- 1.4 GHz Snapdragon 650 6-core processor, ARM Cortex A72 and Adreno 510 GPU.
- 2GB/3GB DDR3 RAM with 16GB/32GB internal storage.
- Dual SIM dual standby with 4G-LTE support. SIM2 slot also supports MicroSD card up to 128GB
- 16 MegaPixel primary rear camera with phase detection autofocus, dual-LED flash.
- 5 MegaPixel front-facing selfies shooter.
- Dimension: 150.00 x 76.00 x 8.65 (height x width x thickness) and weighs 164.00 grams.
- Fingerprint scanner.
- 4000 mAh lithium polymer battery.
- MIUI 7 based on Android 5.1.1
The news is Xiaomi will release Note 3 device in three colour variant white, silver and gold. I have received the gold one, which has 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. The phone may feel bit heavy but its obvious for devices with a full metal body. The fingerprint scanner is placed on the rear side, just below the flash. As I’ve experienced till now, the fingerprint is working pretty well.

***** Apko Note 3 Use karty hue 3-4 Din Ho Gye Hai apka Experience Kesa raha hai ….please Tell Me…
Thank you Bhai
Hi Shubham,
You should consider your requirement before buying any phone. If some smartphone is performing well in 2GB RAM and fulfilling your need that’s enough.
But if there are some device which has a better specification and better performance in the same price range you should definitely consider that also. Whatever you buying, it should be the best possible deal in that price range.
So forget the specification, think about your requirement >> set an approx budget >> shortlist the device >> Compare user reviews >> buy it.
Is this phone screen size 5.74 inch? and 4k video recording on main camera?
GSMARENA and other sites shown the screen size is 5.5 inch and 1080p recording on main camera.Please clarify.
No in default/main camera app there is only three option for video Full HD, HD, and SD. And I have tested with CPU-Z about screen size and its showing 5.74
and its screen seems a bit larger than OnePlus 2 which has 5.5 but device size is similar/smaller than OnePlus 2.
Hi bro
Plz clarify when mmc use than sim 2not work means one time 2sim and memory card sapport
All three can’t be used at same time. Either Two SIM or one SIM & microSD.
Whether it has FM Radio
Yeah with recording option.
First of all thanks a lot for your valuable review, does the phone have features like double tap to wake the screen and how about finger print sensor is it can be used for toggling notifications and camera as well.
No double tap and any other off-screen gesture. The fingerprint is working very well.
No, fingerprint doesn’t support any other feature except unlocking the device.

Does the included charger in box support Qualcomm quick charge(2.0 and 3.0). How long does it take to charge 0 to 100%.
Just another quick question does the HEVC videos run on HW+ on MX Player or SW decoder? And if HW+
1.) Was the video in 1080p with high video bitrate(1500 to 2500 kbps)
2.) was there any significant heating of the phone
3.) Was there any rapid loss of battery charge(1% or more battery charge for every 2 or 3 mins of HEVC video)
Changing the battery graph to numerical from phone settings can help in testing the last one.
Bro what about its sound quality in mp3,video playback and picture quality in camera plz tell
मोबाईल का परफार्मेस कैसा है भाई जी क़पया बताये कैमरा कवालिटी कैसी है बैटरी बैक र्कैसा है प्रोसेसर तेज है कि नही लूुक कैसा है क़पया मुझे बताये मेरा इमेल आइडी [email protected]

Bro isn’t it 5.5 inches? Did you played any games? If so, how is the performance and is there any heating?
Have u uploaded video on YouTube……if yes…plzzz send d link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D8UJrfzcD8
Whether it’s having Gorilla glass 3?
Pls tell SAR value of the phone.Its good to see expandable memory.But its a hybrid sim slot which disappoints little bit.
I have downloaded and played the video it worked fine with the default video player but in MX video was running fine but there wasn’t any sound so I’ve installed on code which can be downloaded from here. Now its working perfectly fine without any lags..
Thanks
Recharge hone keliye kitna time lagta hai fast charge support hai kya or dual sim active plus micro SD card support karta hai kya…?
2nd sim slot hybrid hai
As far as I know it could be launched around 10k or slightly more but it certainly not gonna be launched over 10k price tag (as Gionee iz well known for offering feature loaded fones at very affordable prices).
Internal storage and ram, please?
The one I have got has 3GB RAM with 32GB Internal storage.
OK, thanks u r reply, do a camera, benchmarks and gaming review asap.
bhai memory slot h na pakka, pahle to suna tha ki no memory slot in this phone
Haan Bhai 🙂 Pakka hai Ek 1st slot Micro SIM 2nd slot nano SIM or MicroSD card.
I have 3 questions.
1. Which is the most attractive colour varient..??
2. How its camera in all aspect.. i.e. In low light, indoor, night, and outdoor, without flash… ETc. Can i get a camera comparison from Mi4i.???
3. How is its performance in multi-tasking..?? When u play heavy game besides some background applications.. Does it lag..?? Hey does it heat..??
Uff!! So many questions.. Hope u give all answers..
THANK U…!!
1. Its depend upon your choices and preference, I have got the gold color and it seems very premium & I’m liking it.
2. Need few more time to explore camera in all aspects.
3. Performance is buttery smooth, no any lagging issues till now and yeah its heating, not too much but still I can feel it while playing long videos like continuous 15-20 minutes video playback. The positive side is its calling back very fast.
When launch in india?
I’m not sure but maybe on February 24.
Is there fm radio with recorder
Awaiting your candid review nishant…pl check multitasking capability,heat while gaming and regular usage,ram loading,camera performance etc.,
24ko kya h
it would be better if phone comes with price tag under 15k
I guess it will cost under 15k because there is already few device with similar specs under 15k like LeEco 1s, Lenovo K4 Note
5.74 Inch display..? 5.5 is a grt deal…5.74 would be a weak point..i guess.
I can assure you that size will never be an issue, OnePlus 2 has 5.5 inch display and Redmi Note 3 is still slightly smaller than OnePlus 2.
The processor should be clocked at 1.8ghz, and screen size is 5.5inches, use any other app and re confirm, also upload benchmark scores, and most importantly what is internal memory and ram??
Are the scores dropping by a large scale in antutu when running more than twice like snapdragon 808
Not on large scale but it’s dropping a bit every time.
And the score is about78,000 ri8????
No, I don’t know why but I’m getting around 72-75k only.
I want to buy a Redmi phone..& my budget is 10K & i needed a good gaming & also good camera quality ..which phone u suggested for me?
what about the price of 32gb model
who told you its official date is 24 feb
I said chances are because they are going to have one big event on 24th Feb.
24 feabury ko kya h
Xiaomi Mi 5 launch..
Thank you Nishant …..
And Lenovo K4 Note Or Xiaomi Redmi note 3 Mai se Kosa Phone Lu Yaar plzzz Inform …
And Apko External SD option Mila ….And camera Qualti kesi hai ……
Mai Konsa mobile Lu …plzzz Answer My Questions ….bhai Nishant .. and Cong. Bhai
feature and look wise Redmi Note 3 will be the better option but it will depend on the price tag. my suggestion is to wait for the until the release of Redmi Note 3, If it will come in your budget you can buy this one.
For better battery, camera, design and yeah the best part MiUI.
iss model ko 26 january se release karne ki information de rahe hai magar ab tak koi official statement nhi hai

Please let’s know the SAR value of Redmi Note 2 Pro…
Thank you
Pls inform me whether it has any throttling issue or not when running antutu more than twice simultaneously
Just tested and yeah it is heating. I have felt too much heat at the rear side near fingerprint scanner. But the good part is after 2-3 minutes it is again normal now. Currently, it has only Xiaomi’s default apps + 4-5 extra apps. I”ll check again after installing all apps.
Are the scores dropping by a large scale in antutu when running more than twice like snapdragon 808
And one more is that many sites say that phone is clocked at 1.4GHz X 4 A53 cores and 1.8Ghz X 2 A72 cores so what it is actually I am bit confused!!!!
In about phone it saying CPU: Hexa-core max 1.8GHz and I have shared the CPU-Z screenshot so can’t tell the actual story behind this until Xiaomi will release technical details official.
Please do a video on antutu benchmark test
I”ll share the link.
Thanks
How is the rear/front camera quality?
Both cameras seems decent but I’m liking front cam.
um is that screen size 5.74 really?? bcuz people says that its 5.5 inch.. tell me please!
Yeah,
Wait I’ll add few screenshots of CPU-Z.
Dude did you get the correct phone.?
I mean every site claims it has MT6795 Helio X10 processor. You wrote that it has snapdragon. Even their website shows the same
check this
\
Yes, I have got the correct one. Indian version will have the Snapdragon 650.
Hi
mi phone is very good
thankyou
Please do battery and heating review.
Sure !! Will post the detailed review very soon.
Thanks
mi phone is very good
thankyou
Pls confirm, If this phone supports upcoming Reliance JIO VolTE calls.
Pls inform
It is vo-lte support …?
It supports VoLTE.
can you play x265 codec videos on HW+ settings on MX Player? Do it for both 720p and 1080p to see if their is any slow down of video playback or cpu over heating.
I haven’t installed MX Player yet but I have played few video HD-FHD. Not any slower video playback issue yet.
Were the videos in X264 or X265 codec? X264 can be played by all phones but X265 is newer format even snapdragon 810 cannot play it properly.
I also have OnePlus 2 which has SnapDargon 810, I’m using this from last five months and I never faced any such issue. I have faced that issue once in my OnePlus One, later it gets fixed by some video codec plugin for MX player.
Share me some video link I’ll download and play it on Redmi Note 3 🙂
