Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 32GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
4.0/5
Verdict
With the Redmi Note 3, Xiaomi has done what it does best – it’s shaken up the competition. While the smartphone offers an impressive spec to price ratio, more importantly, it delivers where it counts – offering a sharp display, smooth performance, responsive fingerprint sensor and not to forget, outstanding battery life. There are some areas where the Redmi Note 3 could use improvement, such as the boring design language, average camera results and the use of hybrid dual-SIM instead of dedicated dual-SIM, but these are forgivable flaws when you look at the bigger picture.

With the Redmi Note 3, Xiaomi has done what it does best – it’s shaken up the competition. While the smartphone offers an impressive spec to price ratio, more importantly, it delivers where it counts – offering a sharp display, smooth performance, responsive fingerprint sensor and not to forget, outstanding battery life. There are some areas where the Redmi Note 3 could use improvement, such as the boring design language, average camera results and the use of hybrid dual-SIM instead of dedicated dual-SIM, but these are forgivable flaws when you look at the bigger picture. At Rs 9,999 for the 16GB model and Rs 11,999 for the 32GB variant, the Redmi Note 3 outshines the competition which includes the Lenovo K4 Note (review) and LeEco Le 1s (review), by miles. There`s no denying that Xiaomi has been in a bit of a slump of late, but with the Redmi Note 3 out and the flagship Mi 5 (first impressions) looming up on the horizon, it looks like the brand is finally getting its mojo back.
Pros
- Premium metal build
- Responsive fingerprint sensor
- Great battery life
- Smooth performance
Cons
- Boring design
- Hybrid dual-SIM vs dedicated dual-SIM
- Average cameras
- Still runs Android Lollipop

Design: new materials, familiar looks

The Redmi Note 3 is a complete overhaul of the Redmi Note in terms of design. The plasticky frame and removable back panel have been swapped out for a premium metal body. The 5.5-inch phablet integrates a mammoth 4,050mAh battery, which ordinarily would translate into a bulky frame, but Xiaomi's done a great job with keeping both the weight and size to decent proportions. The Redmi Note 3 measures a respectable 8.6mm around the waist, and tips the scales at 164g. It's lightweight enough to be comfortable for long periods of use, and the matte finish of the rear keeps fingerprints at bay. The Redmi Note 3 comes in three colours – black, silver and gold, and we had the gold unit for review.

Display: crystal clear, buttery smooth

The Redmi Note 3 sports a 5.5-inch display, and bumps up the resolution from HD to full HD. Xiaomi hasn’t disclosed whether the display is protected by Gorilla Glass or Dragontrail glass, but we can confirm that it features a reinforced layer to provide protection. Xiaomi has always excelled in providing exceptionally clear displays on its smartphones, and the Redmi Note 3 is no different. The pixels sit very close to the screen, thanks to the fully laminated display that allows the glass, LCD and touchscreen to sit compactly against each other, making for a thinner panel. The display is quick to respond to gestures, swipes and scrolls, and is comfortable for typing too. The colours tend to look slightly oversaturated, but make for a pleasant viewing experience. In display settings, you can adjust the colour temperature and contrast to your liking.

The Redmi Note 3 is the first device in India to utilise Qualcomm’s hexa-core Snapdragon 650 chipset. There are two variants of the Redmi Note 3 – one with 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 16GB of storage, and another with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. We had the latter variant for review, which gave us 24.56GB of free space out of the box. Compared to last year’s Snapdragon 808 SoC, which featured two Cortex-A57 cores and four Cortex-A53 cores, the Snapdragon 650 uses two Cortex-A72 cores and for Cortex-A53 cores. Xiaomi is stressing heavily on the performance of the Snapdragon 650, most of which boils down to its dual A72 cores. In the AnTuTu benchmark test, we got a very impressive score of 74,160, which wasn't far off from Xiaomi's claim of 77,592.
