It's a new year and a XIAOMI not step down in the competition for the release of devices that provide the most bang for your buck. Only a few months after the release of XIAOMI Redmi Note 3, the Chinese manufacturer Redmi issued 3.
Announcement
I have been for some time with the new phone spending, and I'm willing to give you a full rundown, so let's dig right into the details.

design
In terms of aesthetics, and XIAOMI Redmi 3 takes many of the elements of the Redmi Note 3. Except that she was able to fit all of those good things in the 5-inch form factor.
This time XIAOMI carried loosely pattern on the back side, which makes the phone look very good. But all metals XIAOMI Redmi 3 not only offers a distinct look. Strong materials, smaller size and curves too obvious to make the handset that feels great in the hand.
You will find the strength and size of the buttons on the upper right side of the phone, and provide feedback through an excellent touch.
Also included is a speaker Infrared located on the top of the smartphone. And it can be controlled with Mai application remote included, but keep in mind that it offers very little support from outside China. The good news is that there are plenty of third-party applications that can take care of the work is very fine. Among my favorites are smart peels from a distance.
No major rear capacitive at the bottom, but there are multi-colored notification LED, which is certainly nice to have.
Show
This is not exactly high-end headset phone, so do not expect the best offer in the market. With that said, I can certainly tell you Panel 720P 5-inch still offers respectable for the price and the size of XIAOMI Redmi 3. I believe that the Redmi 3 has the best contrast and saturation of Redmi Note 3, though.
On the other hand, I did not find a thing of the defect on this screen. There seems to be a slight shift in color when viewing the screen from certain angles. Also, while the brightness adjustment worked very well during our testing feature, we found it difficult to watch the show Redmi 3 in direct sunlight, which may be a problem for some users.
performance
Under the hood we can find a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 616, which works very well (again, considering the price). But yes, you will find hiccups from time to time, including writing does not respond and animation intermittently. But it did not work very well during light tasks.

There are also 2 GB of RAM memory in there, but it still offers a reasonable multi-tasking capabilities. Remember, not long 2 GB of RAM before considered distinct.
But the real test is when you play those awesome games we all love so much. Can the XIAOMI Redmi 3 cope? It can play most games reasonably well thanks so Adreno 405 GPU graphics support, but some games will show higher-end frame drops and backward. Experience can vary a bit, though, even games like
Asphalt 8 ran with a little hiccups.
hardware
You will not find much lacking in terms of communication. Packed inside and Wi-Fi 802.11n's, GPS and Bluetooth 4.1, which worked just as we expected.
This device is unlocked and displays the SIM dual capabilities, which will be great for those of you who travel a lot or rely on multiple companies. If you were not in that case, one of the SIM slots can also be used as a microSD card slot (up to 128 GB).
Speaking of storage, and there are 16 GB of memory on board here. Enough for many ordinary users, but those who need a lot of songs, and may need sand and other video-expanding files.
I was surprised to find that XIAOMI Redmi 3 speaker is actually quite loud. But nothing is perfect, and the sound does not come here with some distortion. Not much to worry about, though. I would say the biggest drawback of it is to set back the sites, which nozzles sound when the phone is placed on a flat surface.
But let's talk battery life. Oh my ... battery life. Featuring this little guy mAh battery 4100. The battery power is hard to find, even on high-end, large devices. Adding less processor trick in the equation accuracy, it will be holding the phone to beat. I was able to use it for more than 2 days with moderate use, but I'm sure will be even hardcore users are able to get a full day out of it ... and then some.

Specifications
camera
13 MP and / 2.0 camera XIAOMI Redmi 3 in the rear are able to take some good shots. Again, though, this is not high-end performance, this is something you will notice easily here. There is lack of dynamic range and a tendency to over-sharpen images. HDR helps a little bit, but it also makes taking shots slower and often makes images look unrealistic.
What I did like is the application MIUI camera, which offers a large manual controls. You can adjust things like white balance and ISO in manual mode, or use a variety of other modes such as panorama.
Software
And XIAOMI Redmi 3 comes with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box, the skin with MIUI 7. We know a lot of you do not like the similarities MIUI with iOS, but if you can get past the disadvantages you will find that the interface is an enjoyable user to use.
MIUI is easy to use, but also provides a commendable amount of customization and extra features, which will appeal to Android lovers. You can do special things such as call recording, set the battery configurations decision, changing color LED and adjust the size of the display mode with one hand.
One thing is bad here, though. Unfortunately, it can be a breaker for many of you deal. It does not come with Google applications out of the box. Installed is an additional step, and there is no news on the international version of the upcoming device.
Also bad news is that more XIAOMI began locking bootloaders. To our dismay, and XIAOMI Redmi 3 is one of the phones affected. This is for security, but tinkerers still play around if they are sick.
XIAOMI which require users to apply for open privileges and wait for a response to accept or reject, which says XIAOMI may take up to 10 days to receive. It's good to keep the phones safe for the casual user, but we feel a little uncomfortable this process. We feel that XIAOMI to open the process only calls for malware to be pre-loaded on the devices leave China, and users will have a tough time too removed.
Maybe you should not expect many updates for this phone should. We know that sounds very bad, but it is super affordable and does what it is supposed to do, or placed in a low-priority list in most cases. However, we should also note that MIUI does not receive its updates, which were released in many relatively often.

price
Let's talk money! I have repeatedly been boasting the price of the machine, but still do not know just how affordable this device. It was only available from China in yuan, only 699 currently. That translates to about $ 108 dollars!
Do not keep in mind, however, that the sellers and exporters are likely to mark the price up to between $ 140 and $ 160.
conclusion
I find it hard to complain about XIAOMI Redmi 3. It's not the best build a phone, nor does it have the best specifications and definitely needs improvements in performance. But we must also keep in mind that very few other products can beat it at this price point. For about $ 108 and this is one hell of a phone.
In excellent design, distinctive programs, and crazy good battery overwhelm significantly disadvantages Omar. With that said, unless you have a tight budget unusually, want a smaller factor or need additional battery life form, we recommend an older brother to them.
And Redmi Note 3 has a higher resolution display, faster processor, life is still a big battery and a fingerprint reader only $ 30 more in China, and even less than through distributors.
