Redmi Note 3


The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is a smartphone developed by Xiaomi Inc. It is a part of the Xiaomi's low-end Redmi smartphone line, and has three variants.

Hardware

The MediaTek variant of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is equipped with MediaTek MT6795 Helio X10, PowerVR G6200 GPU. The Snapdragon variants have the Hexa-core 1.8 GHz Snapdragon 650 and Adreno 510 GPU.
All variants include a 1080p display, 2 GB or 3 GB RAM, 16 GB or 32 GB eMMC 5.0 Flash, a 5MP front camera, non-removable Li-Po 4050 mAh battery and it supports 802.11b/g/n/ac networks on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The phone also supports two SIM cards or, in case of the two Snapdragon variants, a SIM card + microSDHC card; the secondary SIM card slot is shared with the microSDHC slot.
One notable difference between the MediaTek and Qualcomm variants of the phone is the primary camera. The Mediatek phone uses a less powerful 13MP camera sensor, whereas this is upgraded to a 16MP sensor on the Qualcomm models.
The Snapdragon versions 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 be better legible in the sunlight. It also features a blue light filter for low light night reading.
Another notable feature of the phone is the presence of a finger-print sensor at the back. It can also be used for capturing images via the front or the rear cameras.

Software

Kenzo runs on an Android based MIUI 7 OS which was upgraded to MIUI 8 based on Android 6.0 and then to the newest MIUI 10. Many custom Android ROMs are available for this device; notable examples are MIUI 9 based on Android 7.0, CyanogenMod 13 and 14, Lineage OS 13, 14, 15 and an unstable port of Sailfish OS. Custom ROMs based on Pie are also available, like Pixel Experience, ArrowOS, HavocOS, etc.
Kate came with MIUI 8 based on Android 6.0 which can be upgraded to latest MIUI 10.
Although both Snapdragon based variants are similar their ROMs are not compatible with each other and installing the wrong one may cause break down of the device.
Mediatek variant runs on MIUI 7, upgraded to the newest MIUI 9 but will not get MIUI 10.
On 21 December 2018, Xiaomi announced end of software support for the phone. In January 2019, it received its final MIUI update.
