Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 hands-on: The Snapdragon Edition

Thanks for the review: But personally i found it with faults.
First of all SD 650 is no "well above that of any of the Snapdragon 600 series chipsets and actually quite close to that of the Snapdragon 808.". Instead it's above the Sd 808 series (both in Cpu and Gpu). Any arguments?
Second the camera is good. It's not at par with flagships like Samsung S6 but does a good job. Software has some issues about light/shadows but those are to get better soon. Also something not mentioned it's Lenses are quite good (and excellent for the price range). Do agree about the focus issue though.
Third phone can be used with 2 sims. Some software glitches when using 2 sim cards has been fixed with the latest firmware. But must notice again: both sims worked before this update, there was just a bug that the second sim took too long to be recognised.
I do agree with the most important thing though: Excellent for the price!
PS: To those who ask. No gorilla glass. But do not be worried, it does have some type of hardened scratch-resistant glass on (dragontail or maybe their own? Do nor know).

I would highly appreciate/recommend if GSMarena could test the heating by using IR Infrared Thermometer Gun.
Run some heavy application on the phone for 1/2 hour, then record the maximum temperature.

OK, why is the camera quality so bad? What custom rom does Gsmarena test it with?
The camera is better than note 2 and note 3 mediatek and quality is getting worse since note 2, how's that ?!?! Gsmarena, are you sure you have the best soft and firmware ???
