The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 was launched in March this year in two variants - the 2GB RAM + 16GB storage priced at Rs 9,999 and 3GB RAM + 32GB storage priced at Rs 11,999. The phone houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 chipset and has a whopping 4100mAh battery. It sports a 16MP rear and 5MP front camera and runs on Android 5.1 with the MIUI 7 skin atop it. We had noted during our review, “Xiaomi has clearly delivered enough goods with the Redmi Note 3 for us to recommend it. While it comes in two variants – Rs 9,999 (for 2GB RAM/16GB ROM) and Rs 11,999 (for 3GB RAM/32GB ROM) – we would recommend the latter as it gives you more room to do multi-tasking. Of course, you need to keep in mind that this phone does not perform well in the low light photography department. So if all you are looking for is a great battery life and fast performance – the Redmi Note 3 has little competition."  You can read the detailed review **here** .
