Xiaomi Redmi 3 announced with Snapdragon 616, 4100 mAh battery

Xiaomi’s Redmi series of smartphones has had a great journey so far, with the Redmi 2 Prime being one of the best budget phones, and now the company has announced the successor to it, the Redmi 3 in China.

A little bigger than its predecessor, the Redmi 3 comes with a 5-inch 720p display and the thickness of the device is 8.5mm. Interestingly, it is a full-metal body this time, and it looks sleek with the patterns on the back of the device.

Internally, the Xiaomi Redmi 3 is powered by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 processor and 2GB RAM. While the internal storage is 16GB, Xiaomi has included a hybrid second SIM slot where if the user needs storage expansion, MicroSD card can be used, though that would make this phone a single-SIM one.

The cameras included in the phone are a 13-megapixel rear camera with 0.1-second phase detection autofocus along with a single LED flash, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. One of the key specs of the device is the 4100 mAh battery included, which should be capable of giving a good usage on a single charge.

Given the specs and the metal body, the pricing of 699 Yuan is a pretty great one, and it would be the MIUI v7 that the phone is running. We’ll be updating with more information as and when we find it.
