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...

    Battery is awesome just use power bank when ur outside for many days. Phone is awesome only haters will say that it is bad because they want excuses, even if this phone come this removable battery they will say chinese. Haters always hate because they don't want all peoples enjoy all features of smart phone at low price.

      Im currently using galaxy star pro and I'm fed up with that. Im interested in moto g turbo. But redmi 3 has got same specifications of turbo at a cheaper rate. But my phone should be durable for atleast 2yrs. So which one should I buy?

        Just for you, I will restate my issue with this phone

        16Gb is inadequate for a dual SIM user. For that reason alone, the Redmi2 is a better phone for dual SIM users

          the fact is most people that seeks Xiaomi phones are bang per buck freaks anyway.... people hardly reach 2 years to replace their phone...even if you insist say that you dont , you will be forced to anyway by the software that doesnt support old hardware, bigger content that makes slower web browsing,,, unless you only use phone for calls and sms that is...

            for that endurance it is already a positive
            a removable battery will be double positive.
            for those who need removable battery just buy 2 of this unit
            why removable batt when you can have removable phone :D
            the price is a steal at $106 (price will stable when mass production happen)

                          16Mb is simply not enough RAM for someone who uses the phone in dual SIM mode. The older Redmi2 is better for dual SIM users for that reason alone
