AnonD-157510, 14 Jan 2016No bro you are wrong. It outperforms helio x10 in cpu depar... moreActually 650 is hexa-core part with only two A72 cores @ 1.8 GHz and four A53 cores @1.2 GHz. So it might be slightly faster in single core benchmarks but in multi-core benchmarks it will be much behind.

Even 652 (Galaxy A9 was benchmarked) which is 4x A72 @1.8 GHz + 4xA53 @1.4 GHz has lower performance than Mediatex X10

Geekbench v3 scores

Chipset - Single Core - Multi Core

X10 - 900 - 4500
652 - 1400 - 4100
650 - 1400 - 3500 (expected)

In real life however the difference b/w CPU performance of X10 and 650 will be minimal.

So even if they own the patent rights now they cant sell it unless the ban is officially lifted by the court., which has not happened yet.

            Changes from earlier Redmi Note 3

            1. Processor = Snapdragon 650 (in place of Mediatek X10)
            (A) Lower CPU performance
            (B) Faster GPU performance
            (C) More power efficient

            2. Camera = 16MP (in place of 13MP)

            3. Price = 100 Yuan Higher
            (A) 2GB/16GB = 999 Yuan (Up from 899 Yuan)
            (B) 3GB/32GB = should be 1199 Yuan (Up from 1099 Yuan)

            I think these are well thought out changes and the price increase is worth it.

              great competition between lenovo and xiaomi
              lenovo intro lemon 3 which is redmi 3 killer
              xiaomi intro note 3 which is k4 note killer.

                I guess Redmi Note 3 with its offerings is Lott better than the K4 Note. GPU of 650 is much better than the MTk 6753. And all other specs match except front firing speakers and no memory card expansion for the Note 3 which may be deal breaker for some

                  Good to go for... But I really dont like the MIUI...

                            xiaomi is not good to the indian market their main moto is to capture indian market with the products that are failed in survival test and unsold in china. not releasing redmi note 2 and mi tv 2 are the prime examples for that.

                              Wow Indians are being Spoilt with so many choices! It's going to be difficult choosing between K4 note & Redmi Note 3! The Redmi has an advantage with voLTE!
