MANILA, Philippines – Smartphone maker Xiaomi is going all-out in China, announcing the Redmi 3 with specifications that go beyond what we usually expect in budget smartphones.
Priced at 699 yuan (around $105), The Xiaomi Redmi 3 is a 144-gram smartphone with a 5-inch HD display (at 720 x 1280 pixels).
It sports an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 processor, runs on Android 5.1, and takes pictures using a 5 megapixel front-facing camera and a 13 megapixel rear camera.
The Redmi 3 also comes with 2GB of RAM and 16 GB of onboard storage, and is dual-SIM capable. If you have only one SIM, however, you can use the second slot to expand the storage up to 128GB via microSD cards.
The Redmi 3’s big draw is its 4100mAh battery which has much more capacity than the 2200 mAh battery on the Redmi 2. The device is reportedly also quick-charging, according to Ars Technica, but no information has been released on how long it takes to charge.
Xiaomi will likely check on how well it sells and on its reception online before choosing to take it outside China. – Rappler.com
