Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 with Snapdragon chip and more enhanced features

As we know, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is the first device of Xiaomi to sport a fingerprint scanner and a sleek all-alloy body. It is also equipped with a huge 4,000mAh battery but priced at a very affordable level. Well, it’s already great but perhaps Xiaomi did not think so. Lately, they have announced a new variant of the Redmi Note 3, using a Snapdragon processor and boasting many more advanced specifications. Some sources also call it Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro.

Specifically, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon Version packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 chipset, 4G+ network, Voice over LTE (VoLTE), and two choices over RAM and ROM capacity: 2GB + 16Gb and 3GB + 32GB. Moreover, this time, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 specs will include an up to 16MP rear camera with 0.1s ultra-fast PDAF along with a standard 5MP front-facing camera, and a bit bigger 4,050mAh battery compared to the original one.

In general, we have a feeling that Xiaomi wants to make Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 their flagship smartphone since the new version is so powerful. The Snapdragon 650 is a good processor with up to 1.8GHz and the 4G+ network is significantly faster than the 4G one. Moreover, it even features the latest Sunlight Display to improve the phone’s readability in sunlight. Amazing!
