Specifications

Hardware

The MediaTek variant of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is powered by the MediaTek MT6795 Helio X10 system-on-chip with a 2.0 GHz octa-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU and a PowerVR G6200 GPU. The Snapdragon variants are powered by the Snapdragon 650 system-on-chip with a hexa-core CPU consisting of a high performance cluster with 2x 1.8 GHz ARM Cortex-A72 cores and a high efficiency cluster with 4x 1.6 GHz ARM Cortex-A53 cores, and an Adreno 510 GPU. [7] The phone comes with 2 GB or 3 GB of RAM and 16 GB or 32 GB of eMMC 5.0 internal flash storage.

Another notable difference between the MediaTek and Qualcomm variants of the phone is the rear-facing camera; there is a 13 MP camera sensor on the MediaTek variant whereas this is upgraded to a 16 MP sensor on the Qualcomm variants. [8] There is also a 5 MP front-facing camera on all variants.

All variants of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 include a 5.5 in (140 mm) 1080p display with 1080x1920 pixels resolution and 403 ppi pixel density. The Snapdragon variants use a special display technology known as 'Sunlight Display' in which the phone detects the ambient light and makes pixel-level adjustments in order to improve legibility under the sunlight. The phone also features a blue light filter for low light (night) reading. [9]

Another notable feature of the phone is the presence of a fingerprint sensor at the back. It can also be used for taking photos via the front-facing or rear-facing camera. The phone has a 4050 mAh Li-Po non-removable battery.

Custom ROMs based on Android Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo, Pie, 10, 11 and 12 are also available, like Pixel Experience, ArrowOS, HavocOS, etc.

The Redmi Note 3 Special Edition (kate) came with MIUI 8 based on Android 6.0 which can be updated to MIUI 10. [11]

Although both of the Snapdragon-based variants (kenzo and kate) are similar with their ROMs, their firmware aren't compatible with each other and installing the wrong one may brick the device. [14]
