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.
