Xiaomi Redmi 3

Let’s welcome 4 new variants of Xiaomi Redmi 3!

Last time, we were informed that Xiaomi Redmi 3 would have a new version, but we thought it just would be one model coming. Now, we know for sure there will be up to four vers to be introduced since they all have appeared on TENAA lately. They were certified under the code names 2015810, 2015817, 2015818, and 2015819, and it is easy to notice that the 2015810 is different from the others; perhaps it’s gonna be Xiaomi Redmi 3A, a super cheap low-end device successor to Xiaomi Redmi 2A. Meanwhile, the other three can be Xiaomi Redmi 3S with minor differences in ROM capacity or so.

Those four models will all sport octa-core 1.5GHz processors and 13MP rear/5MP front camera combos. Though, there are some differences you need to note. Xiaomi Redmi 3A specs will include 2GB of RAM, 16GB of ROM, a big 4,000mAh battery, a dual SIM, but no fingerprint scanner. Design-wise, the 3A will lack the interesting plaid design of the Redmi 3, yet still elegant, right?!

For Xiaomi Redmi 3S specs, most features of the Redmi 3 are remained, except for some minor changes as the following: The 2015817 model will come with 2/3GB RAM and a 3,000mAh battery; the 2015818 with 2GB RAM and a 4,000mAh cell; and finally the 2015819 with 2GB RAM and full network connectivity.

Price and availability

It is said that the above 4 variants of Xiaomi Redmi 3 can be priced progressively with just 100 Yuan difference. Apparently, Xiaomi Redmi 3A price can be 599 Yuan ($92) and Xiaomi Redmi 3S price can be set at 699 Yuan ($108), 799 Yuan ($123) and 899 Yuan ($138) for the 2915817, 818, and 819, respectively.
