The lines of the compact Redmi 3 are virtually identical to those of the larger Redmi Note 3. It comes in at 5 inches and has a slick unibody design and aluminum finish. The diamond pattern on the back gives it a touch of style.

The front of the device presents a 720p display and three capacitive buttons, meaning that you can take advantage of the entire screen area. Above the screen is a front-facing camera with a 5 MP sensor and f/2.2 aperture.

Xiaomi Redmi 3 design

The lines of the compact Redmi 3 are virtually identical to those of the larger Redmi Note 3. It comes in at 5 inches and has a slick unibody design and aluminum finish. The diamond pattern on the back gives it a touch of style.

The front of the device presents a 720p display and three capacitive buttons, meaning that you can take advantage of the entire screen area. Above the screen is a front-facing camera with a 5 MP sensor and f/2.2 aperture.

There’s no fingerprint scanner on the back of Redmi 3, which is the main point of difference between this phone and the Redmi Note 3. The rear camera has a 13 MP, f/2.0 sensor, the same as the Note model, and is positioned on the upper-left corner.

Xiaomi Redmi 3 specs

The Redmi 3 comes equipped with an octa-core Snapdragon 616 processor. Its memory configuration is a very respectable 2 GB of RAM and it has 16 GB of internal storage. This capacity can be increased to 128 GB, thanks to the inclusion of a microSD card slot.

The Redmi 3 battery has a very impressive 4,100 mAh capacity, and the fact it has a Qualcomm processor means it can also fast-charge. Despite this large battery and the phone’s metal body, the Redmi 3 weighs only 144 g.
