Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon) review: Dragon fire

24 August 2016
There's no way you have missed the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. It's been the bang-for-buck benchmark for a while now, delivering a feature set and performance way above what its price tag suggests...

    There are hundreds of phone makers, and there is Xiaomi. Making practical feature packed devices for their costumers at really affordable price. RMN3 is one of the finest phones they have made specially when you consider the price. cant ask for more.

          Well, this just shows again how crap Helio Chipsets are and will ever be. I'll never buy a phone with Mediatek inside.

                      You guys gave the camera a very different review when you did the hands-on. See http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_3_snapdragon-review-1405p4.php.

                      Has the performance really improved that much with updates? I doubt it.

                        You shouldn't do a review with a beta ROM, why didn't you used stable global MIUI 7?

                          If you wants record 4k video you can install snapdragon camera or google camera i think you also should try it , And display,performers and charging time overall was good for me
