Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 review: In shiny armor

25 December, 2015
The Redmi Note 3 is a thoughtfully targeted device with a premium metal build, flagship-grade specs, and an iconic MIUI launcher. The third device of the series upgrades design of the Redmi Note 2 just three months after its premiere, while keeping the same specs, but improving the security with a fingerprint scanner.

The x10 and optimization woes come into play tho...Google needs to help the devs at the community forums ASAP.

          When will mi note 3 launch....

            everyone who is complaining about the battery life should remember how much this phone is offering and at what price......
            many other major maufacturers hav used x10 like sony and htc and hav had terrible endurance ratings, so the way i see it the big battery was only solution and m happy that it works.(above 70 hrs in dis price range).

              if this battery test is same as Samsung A7 , 10 hours wifi web browse , then this 4000mah battery pack phone is useless. because Samsung A7 only can last me until 4pm , 24% . so 4000mah battery also only can last until evening ??

                oh, again iOS like interface. Chinese OEM has good hardware, but their softward is letdown.

                  A huge upgrade for this new model. However xiaomi should consider upgrading internal storage to 64gb as 32gb is not enough for today trending.

                    I think the main reason that Xiaomi introduced this phone was because the Mediatek helio X10 processor runs down a normal battery too fast. I owned the Redmi Note 2 for a couple of weeks before selling it. The battery ran down within one day of normal use, totally unacceptable. They may have added the metal case and a few other goodies to justify the upgrade but the main reason must have been the awful battery life of the note 2.

                      Another "doozy" from Xiaomi. No removable battery or micro SD. It's getting a pattern these days it seems. Basically all this "update" did was to remove the removable battery.

                      Congrats, another gold razzy for you Xiaomi, we don't have enough dying sealed batteries, we need mooore...

                        The battery life is exactly as expected: I get 3 days worth of juice with the Note 3 while I got 2 days out of my Redmi Note 1. As a side note my wife barely gets through a full day with her LG G3.

                            Those who complain abt battery. I think it got pretty good endurance rating for its price. Its a mediatek device so its expected

                              So don't buy this phone. Just buy note 5 with lag touchwiz and then after few days rooted and flash new roms. After that complain to service center. This phone is lag and 4 gb ram not enough. Hahaha samsung fans always find that way. Typical huh

                                ljames, 27 Dec 2015You would expect to get a much better battery life with 4ah... morethink it this way........
                                which smartphone wid such specs at such low price will give u 72 hrz of battery endurance!!!!!! probably no other...its the best available option

                                      You would expect to get a much better battery life with 4ah of juice. Shame.
