First Things Fast

Experience many firsts with Redmi Note 3. Not only is it first in the world to feature Snapdragon 650, it also boasts an ultra-fast fingerprint sensor, large 4050mAh battery, and a premium metal body never seen before in Redmi phones. It is hard to imagine that with these enhancement, Redmi Note 3 is still 21g lighter than Redmi Note 4G.
The New Face of Performance - Snapdragon 650, Cortex-A72 cores

Redmi Note 3 3 is really fast - flagship fast. The high-performance Snapdragon 650 processor uses ARM’s flagship Cortex-A72 cores to launch apps in a split-second. Its next-gen Adreno 510 graphics processor delivers up to fluid gaming experience. The hexa-core processor delivers up to 1.8GHz clock speed, supports dual-channel memory and eMMC 5.0 flash. Combined with MIUI 7’s system-level speed optimizations, Redmi Note 3 responds to every touch in a snap.


 
Unlocks in an Instant

Fingerprint sensors are making smartphones personal in a whole new level. Press your finger gently on the sensor and Redmi Note 3 unlocks in just 0.3s. It’s convenient and so much faster than using patterns or passcodes. Chip-level security encrypts and stores your fingerprint profiles securely so no one can access them – not even you.
The Premium Touch of Metal

The elegant sheen of metal on Redmi Note 3 not only looks beautiful, but feel sturdy and resilient. Different sections of the back cover connect seamlessly and naturally, thanks to an improved assembly process.
We’ve preserved the authentic texture of anodized, sandblasted metal. No additional treatments, costs or paint were used. This level of craftsmanship is one you can appreciate the moment you hold Redmi Note 3 in your hand.


Go BIG with 4050mAh Battery

A massive 4050mAh battery that gives you peace of mind knowing you get a full day of use. Ultra-thin and light, it uses 690wh/L high density battery technology that provides 26% more capacity than the previous Redmi Note 4G while weighing 21g lighter. It can even last up to 22 days on standby.
 
Make Faster Connections

Accelerate your life on the latest 4G LTE networks and 802.11ac WiFi. With faster connections, you can stay in touch with your friends and the rest of the world in real time.
 
Focusing on Quality

Capture stunning profession-quality images on a 16MP camera with Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF), a 0.1s ultra-fast focusing technique commonly found in DSLR cameras.
In addition to high megapixel count, Redmi Note 3 has dual ISP processing for exceptional image quality. The result? Photos have visibly lesser noise and enhanced dynamic range.
 
Gorgeous in Any Light 5.5” 1080p HD Display

Most people equate a great display with clarity and brightness, but Redmi Note 3 is smarter than that. Sunlight Display adjusts contrast and brightness according to the environment. Night mode and Reading Mode protects eyes from excessive brightness and harmful blue light rays.
