Xiaomi has also revealed that this Redmi Note 3 will be available in India. The phone has a 2GB DDR3 RAM with an internal memory of 16GB that can be expanded up to 128 GB through a microSD card. While Xiaomi had originally released the Redmi Note 3 in China with a MediaTek processor, the version that will be launched in India will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip instead. “Explorers will be ranked based on the number of successful missions and support from other Mi fans”, the company wrote while explaining the challenge on the site, adding that the explorers will have to return the smartphone after completing the challenge.

The phone attributes 5.5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) Display and MIUI 7 based on Android OS is installed in the device. However, with the influx of phones like Lenovo Vibe K4 Note, Xiaomi had no option but to introduce the Redmi Note 3 variant, sooner rather than later.
Only a couple of days since it was announced, we’re seeing a series of hands-on photos of the Xiaomi Redmi 3. It pales in comparison with the Redmi 3 at 4,100 mAh, but the company’s legacy in that department could also mean that it can deliver longer screen times.
There is one other difference compared to the Helio X10-powered Redmi Note 3 that is worth mentioning. The new Redmi 3 was teased on numerous occasions.
The phablet comes with a fingerprint sensor in just Rs 11,600. It is launched in China at 999Yuan ($151). It is also expected to launch in India next month. The phone will be available in three colour variants – Gold, Grey, and Silver.
The Snapdragon 650 is clocked at 1.8GHz and features 2x ARM Cortex A72 cores and 4x ARM Cortex A53 cores, and supports the 4G+ networks in China, enabling much faster download speeds.
