Xiaomi Redmi 3 review: Precious little one

29 January, 2016
Xiaomi Redmi 3 is not your usual budget smartphone. The word budget is hardly a good match for an aluminum unibody, a 5" IPS display, a powerful octa-core processor, a 13MP camera, and a beefy 4,100 mAh battery. And yet, here we are. The Xiaomi Redmi 3 may be cheap in price but it does not skimp on features...

Good day to all users, not sure if this model's battery can last for a day? You see I'm currently using asus ZenFone 5 and I had to charge it after half day.. all I did was browsing facebook and whatsapp..

          Shaglord, 07 Apr 2016Hey! How is the ram usage after boot? Used/free/available.... moreMine got 1GB to 1.1GB free RAM after rebooting. Once you connect to internet (WiFi etc) the free RAM amount will drop because of syncing feature and any other related process that require update (maybe, i just saying).

I suggest you to root your phone. Use guide root in this page http://xiaomitips.com/guide/easily-root-redmi-3-without-pc/ and use installed apps named KingRoot to uninstall WeQR. I got it uninstalled and now playing games happily. Some of the pre-installed apps hogging the system memory, uninstall it if necessary to free your memory.

              Lot of advertisements pop up every time when I connect to the Internet. RAM is all ways filled up to 85%. Really worrying about my decision.

                I HV purchased this redmi note 3 on Mar23 in Amazon waiting for hours n with so much excitement overall it seems fine but the way it is heating up is the big concern. Now I m retreating with this kind of performance n choice ... It is mini iron machine I don't know what is the solution for this .. I could hv gone for other mobile instead of this heat stuff :(((

                  I bought redmi 3 few days ago. The RAM is always 1.6 GB full. Only 350- 400MB free.. Please tell me what has happen to the ram. I have not installed many apps. Can not play the temple run without lagging.

                        Hey!
                        How is the ram usage after boot? Used/free/available.
                        (I'm a heavy multitasker and I'm curious to know how much of those 2GB is actually available to the user. Usually stock roms are quite wasteful.) Thanks /s

                            Mimmus, 18 Mar 2016Hello guys I have recently purchased the redmi 3, and I wan... moreBest bet is to wait it out while you go on and apply for bootloader unlock approval. It's a bit of PITA I know to wait for about 10-12 days for approval but believe me it's gonna be worth it. Just do that and once your bootloader gets unlocked, flash any latest weekly release xiaomi.eu ROM so that you'll be able to root and also get TWRP for recovery. From there just install xposed and voila afterwards you can use some xposed modules to even run from the micro SD not internal storage.

                                Hello guys I have recently purchased the redmi 3, and I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to move applications from internal memory to the SD card. From what I have read there isn't this option in the phone.
