Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro review: Trimmed up

8 August 2016
The original Xiaomi Redmi 3 is still considered as one of the best deals you could get on a 5-inch affordable smartphone, but you may have missed the fact it’s also got a Pro sibling.

    Xiaomi themselves said no MM update for 3Pro, just the 3S. Has one of this and running latest dev rom so far. One thing bugging me is the screen sensitivity. Google wasn't much help and a lot of people in Miui forum has this too. Scrolls can sometime register into clicks, and when you touch the screen with thick clothes it still register. No way to reduce that. No glove mode apparent either. Another side note is FM radio app doesn't always need headphone to work. Sweet.

        Why didnt you test Redmi 3S instead? It would be intresting to see the performance and battery life of snapdragon 430. Redmi 3 Pro is almost identical to Redmi 3 so it is hard to justifiy that decision.

            Nice review gsma team. Here in dubai a telecom is offering this at a very good price along with some other xiaomi device.I think gsma team should make a good comparison to its rival like the meizu m3s,lenovo vibe k series and other budget device at this price range.

              AnonD-570033, 08 Aug 2016xD Open ur eyes and read , it says Redmi ''3Pro'' , not ''N... moreyeap sorry guys always note in my head from Lenovo k4note all day sorry again gsmarena I was mistaken u were right

                    Tested on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness the glass on the Xiaomi's scratches just as hard as a Gorilla Glass 4. Between 6-7. Sure, Gorilla Glass is more about resisting shattering than scratches but i found Xiaomi's glass ok for standard use.
