Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 hits India

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 3 handset back in November 2015 in China, but it stayed there ever since. Now, India becomes the second market to welcome this handset, although it gets a slightly different version. While the Chinese Redmi Note 3 is powered by a MediaTek processor, Indian customers will receive this handset with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 under the hood.

Redmi Note 3 reaches India in two variants - one with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage, and another with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. Available colors are champagne gold, silver, and dark grey. The other specs are unchanged - 5.5-inch full HD IPS multitouch display, dual 4G SIM support, 16 MP main camera with two-tone flash and phase detection autofocus, as well as a 4050 mAh battery with fast charging support.

The price of the 2 GB/16 GB variant is roughly $150 USD, while the 3 GB/32 GB Redmi Note 3 retails for about $180 USD. The last thing worth being mentioned is that Xiaomi advertises the Redmi Note 3 sold in India as its third handset manufactured locally.
