Review Xiaomi Redmi Note 3: Premium Features with Fantastic Price

Pemmzchannel this time presents a review of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 which was recently released. Redmi Note 3 only touches half the price of the flagship, Mi 5 which is priced at around 7 million. However, this phablet carries premium-style flagship features, such as a fingerprint sensor. The design is also interesting and some reviews of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 compare it to Apple’s flagship. Curious? Let’s explore the following Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 review.

Design

One of the ins and outs behind this phablet is said to be a distant twin of Apple’s flagship is the color choices available are very similar to the iPhone 6. body wrapped in metal, the Redmi Note 3 reflects a premium yet elegant aura. The metal material used makes the Redmi Note 3 a bit heavier than a smartphone of a similar size.

Smartphone with a thickness of 8.7 mm is quite comfortable in the hand, although with a slightly slippery surface, you need to be careful not to fall. On the front, the Redmi Note 3 comes with very thin left and right bezels. Meanwhile, the position of the camera and speaker on the back of the Redmi Note 3 in our opinion is a bit similar to the HTC M9. Yes, again Xiaomi designed it with a flagship-style design.

Display

Redmi Note 3 enters the phablet category with a 5.5-inch screen. The FHD (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution screen with 403 ppi produces sharp and detailed color quality. The IPS panel that it carries makes the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 review better in terms of display and view angle.

For the display quality in the room is quite good. Unfortunately, for those of you who often do outdoor activities, the display on the Redmi Note 3 will slightly dim in the sun. You need to outsmart it by manually increasing the brightness level. For the auto brightness setting, it’s still a little slow to detect your “presence”.

Camera

The main camera embedded in the Redmi Note 3 has a resolution of 13 megapixels and is equipped with an LED flash. The results of taking pictures from this camera with an aperture of f/2.2 take photos with sharp colors. In terms of focus, taking pictures is also fairly fast. Unfortunately, this smartphone is not equipped with the OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) feature so it shakes a little when recording video.

Meanwhile, the 5 megapixel front camera still produces standard quality shots according to its class. It seems that Xiaomi is not focusing on designing the Redmi Note 3 this time for your selfie needs. For a comparison of the results of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 review photo, we compared it with the Mi 4i which has a rear camera with the same resolution in the photo above.

Audio and Battery

The audio quality produced from the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Review for us is quite satisfactory. Especially in terms of loud volume. To get bass which is good, you can increase it with manual settings in the default application from Xiaomi called Maxx Audio. It remains a Xiaomi tradition not to include a headset in its smartphone sales package, it seems that this is one of their ways to cut prices.

Redmi Note 3 backed up with battery non-removable which has a capacity of 4000 mAh. For charging the battery, the smartphone with this fast charging feature can fully charge for 3 hours. This includes quite fast with a capacity of that size. Although not as fast as fast charging on smartphones with Qualcomm processors.

Features and Software

The main features that smartphone owners envy with range prices below 5 million are sensors fingerprint which Xiaomi is very proud of. We found that the most secure sensor available today is very responsive, it only takes 0.3 seconds to detect your fingerprint. The location of the sensor area on the back of the smartphone makes this feature easier for you.

This review of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 with the Android 5.02 Lollipop operating system and MIUI OS 7 makes the smartphone interface a user friendly. Various customizations such as transition effects are offered to you. But for Google App, you need to install it manually.

Performance

In terms of performance, you can see in more detail the results of the Antutu benchmark above. Overall, this smartphone powered by the MediaTek octa-core Helio X10 produces quite good performance. The review of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pemmzchannel this time is a version of the Mediatex processor with 3 GB of RAM with 32 GB of internal storage media. The performance of the Redmi Note 3 when we played 3D games like Vainglory also ran smoothly, without any lag.
