Luckily for Indian users, the Redmi Note 3 comes with a far more powerful Snapdragon 650 processor. The original version in China comes with a Mediatek Helio X10 processor – while it is one of the high end Mediatek SoCs, it is not as good as the mid-range Snapdragon 650 processor. Additionally, the Adreno 510 GPU is also more powerful. Essentially, you are getting a much better product overall in India.

It still runs on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with MIUI 7 on top, but Xiaomi is currently working on MIUI 7 based on Marshmallow. The Marshmallow update should be released in the coming weeks, so the Redmi Note 3 will be among the first few Xiaomi devices to get it.

Other than that, the Redmi Note 3 comes with a 16 MP camera on the back with phase detection autofocus and dual LED flash. There’s a 5 MP camera on the front for selfies and video calling.

3 GB / 2 GB RAM, 32 GB / 16 GB internal storage and dual SIM dual LTE support, microSD card support and a huge 4,050 mAh battery round off the specs of the Redmi Note 3 extremely well.
