Unboxing and Full Review of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3

Yea! My order has arrived from Gearbest, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. Dispatched on 28^th Dec, 2015 and got it on 8^th of January 2015.

The pack is so lite, you won’t even know that you are carrying a phone. Guess the first thing I did the moment I opened it? I quickly change the IMEI to suite my preferred network.

What's in the box?

See whats inside the moment it was opened; Romanic Redmi note 3, a detachable charger with a usb cord, but no ear piece and OTG cable.

The metal-clad, dual-SIM Redmi Note 3 is Xiaomi's latest flagship model, and it certainly lives up to that standard. The smartphone has a sturdy build, offering just enough grip to prevent it from slipping from your hands. Measuring 150x76x8.65mm, the device has its power button placed in the middle of the right side, making it easy to reach. The volume buttons sit above the power button, while the SIM tray is on the upper left.

On the back of the phone, you'll find a speaker at the bottom, and a camera flash and fingerprint sensor near the top. There is a plastic element close to the speaker that prevents it from being completely muffled when the phone is placed on a flat surface.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 display

The Redmi Note 3 display is great for the price. It's an IPS LCD with Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) and measures 5.5 inches diagonally. This gives it a pixel density of 403 ppi, which is excellent for a phone of this price.

Brightness is quite good and colors are vivid. The biggest drawback is that there is no protection against scratches or scrapes.

This is good news, because the display on the Note 2 was outshined by some competing devices, namely the Meizu M2 Note.

Audio quality is good. The rear-firing speaker is relatively powerful, but more importantly it delivers consistent quality regardless of volume. Even when it’s maxed out, there are no distortions or vibrations.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 software

Like other phones from this Chinese manufacturer, the Redmi Note 3 has Xiaomi's MIUI 7 interface, which is based on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. There is an international ROM available for this terminal, which is what our test device came equipped with. It already included Google Play and several languages such as Spanish, despite the original ROM being Chinese.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 performance

The Redmi Note 3 is equipped with a Mediatek MT6795 processor, called Helio X10, which has eight cores running at a maximum speed of 2.0 GHz. The model we tested had 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory. The processor is the same processor as the one in the Redmi Note 2, but the Note 3 has 1 GB more RAM.

Multi-tasking is good and supports various processes smoothly. The system has great fluidity, and games run with no notable problems. It also has an accelerometer and gyroscope to improve control in games.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 battery

The battery capacity has been much improved over the Redmi Note 2. The Redmi note battery is 4000 mAh, 1000 mAh more than its predecessor. The result is that it can last more than 40 hours, and that the display will run for about four.

Antutu Bench mark
Its best score in AnTuTu Benchmark was in excess of 51,000 points. The overall performance of Redmi Note 3 is a little below that of the Lenovo ZUK 1

Camera
The Redmi Note 3 comes with a 13 MP rear camera, with a f/2.2 aperture and phase detection auto focus, along with a 5 MP front-facing camera with a f/2.0 aperture.

he back camera is not too bad but I expect something more better than this capture.
