2 – Design
The construction of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is in metal, where there are two plastic notes positioned at the top and lower, possibly to avoid causing problems in signal quality of wireless networks. The way to Xiaomi built this back almost does not allow to distinguish plastic from the metal.
In the case of a smartphone with 5 screen, 5 “, the size of the entire structure demonstrates that a good use of space occupied by the screen, even if the side frame could be somewhat thinner. Its thickness is 8.7 mm and weight of 164 g, values that provide good ergonomics during use, maximized by the lateral curves.
In front, beyond the 5.5″ screen, is the camera of 5 MP, brightness and proximity sensors, the notification LED RGB and speaker above the screen. Below are the capacitive buttons for Menu, Home and Back, back-lit during use.
On the side, below, the microUSB port is placed and the microphone on the right side and the volume buttons and power. On the left side there is a socket for both microSIM cards and on top is placed the audio connection to jack 3.5 mm and the second microphone to allow sound recording in stereo. It is also available an IR LED that serves as a universal remote control.

This means that there are no differences in terms of appearance, however, it may not seem that the older version of Android can be a little more fluid and optimized. In this version with Android 5, it is sometimes possible to see some breaks in the fluidity of transitions as well as the exchange of apps, where it appears that these are problems of optimization in this release based on Lollipop (also seen in Mi 4i).
It is known that Xiaomi is preparing the new versions based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow (still no known data), where most devices will directly version 4.4.4 to 6, and here it is expected that devices with version 5 of Android definitely gain more stability with Android 6.
As for the use of the interface, you can see all the analysis of the details of the MIUI functionality in video on Xiaomi Mi analysis 4. In terms of security and control of permissions, data consumption by applications and notifications is very successful. Here you can see other details of MIUI.
The problem with languages
One of the most frequent problems with smartphone Xiaomi prende- with the language. Because there is no official support for Portugal, the Portuguese Language Portugal is not included in ROMs provided by Xiaomi, even in the Global version, with only the Portuguese in Brazil.
However, the HonorBuy provides the smartphone Xiaomi with all European languages, including Portuguese of Portugal, a version of the ROM properly adjusted, with fully functional Google Play Store and services (as in China there are these Google services). You can access here to the ROMs and their installation guides provided by HonorBuy.
Fingerprint sensor
The fingerprint sensor, which is also an element the user interface is a novelty that comes with this whole class Redmi Note 3. From its setting in the smartphone , appearance and speed of response, this is a feature that until now only was worthy to exist with this quality smartphone state of the art.

Configuration is very simple and fast and use … could not be simpler.
It is not necessary to activate the screen so that the fingerprint is read . As in most smartphone that already have this type of sensor, just touch your finger to the sensor for the screen call, unlock and emerge the Homescreen or the last application used. The Xiaomi announced as a 0.3 second reaction. I could not determine this value, but it is very fast indeed faster than OnePlus 2 or Galaxy S6 edge +, but not as fast as Huawei Kill 8.
Performance
The Redmi Note 3 performs well in general. The applications open quickly, including the camera, and graphics performance in games is good, the level of a smartphone midrange.
Given that the model under consideration is the 2GB of RAM sometimes comes some additional delay to switch between open applications when multiple applications are now open. Back after the Homescreen, sometimes you have to wait 2-3 seconds while the Homescreen carries, which reveals that it was forced to shut down in background , possibly by memory issues. Admittedly, the Homescreen should not close as a result of opening an application, but it happens, and I suspect that is due to Android’s memory management 5, even considering that this is the model with less RAM.
In short, consider purchasing this smartphone do not hesitate to acquire the model with 32 GB of internal storage and 3GB of RAM. Besides being a much more advantageous choice, given the 16GB ensures that have fewer constraints on the use of the smartphone due to RAM management.
In terms of score in AnTuTu v6.0.2, the Redmi Note 3 get 45340 points, a very close value obtained by his older brother Mi 4, top of the range last year .
4 – cameras
the Redmi Note 3 chambers are balanced, within what is expected in this range, and the native camera application has basic features required, including HDR, panorama mode, manual mode with white and ISO adjustment, gradient mode (for pictures always right), skin tone adjustment, scene mode (portrait, landscape, sports, night, night portrait, beach, snow sunset, fireworks), face detection and 12 filters.
The main camera has a sensor of 13 MP, comes with an LED flash two-tone and records 1080p at 30fps. The front camera is of 5 MP and also records video at 1080p.
The end result of the captured images is pretty good in both environments with natural and artificial light and the front camera also revealed to have good quality an advantage to enjoy taking selfies. Below are some examples of photos.

5 – Verdict
Again, the Xiaomi made a bet with “feet and head” with features that many now aspire to and at an unbeatable price, taking into account the quality <. /> p>
The overall performance is good, framed with the segment, and the battery of 4000 mAh gives you a battery life of at least two days, reaching up to 3 days depending on the type of use.
With regard to Redmi Note 2, which was released three months before, the advantages for Redmi Note 3 are clear, which is distinguished with aluminum construction, the fingerprint sensor and a higher capacity battery (33% higher), second only to not support microSD external storage (for whom this is relevant).
The screen is generous but is notorious any inferiority compared to the 4 or Mi Mi Note, essentially in contrast and saturation that may be a little short. The visibility in bright light is good.
This is an excellent option for those looking for smartphone in the range of € 200 but with quality corresponding to the upper range. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 can be purchased at HonorBuy for 175 € for the 16GB version / 2GB RAM or € 212 for the 32GB version / 3GB RAM. Note that you can use the voucher PPLWARE to get a discount of 5 €.
