Xiaomi Redmi 3: all the official images and camera samples

As mentioned, despite its enormous 4100 mAh, Xiaomi managed to keep the handset relatively slim at 8.5 mm, and the way it did that is using a thinner system board, and embedding the battery pack a bit into the chassis, while still keeping the phone's structural integrity via a magnesium alloy frame. The phone also sports an etched plaid pattern on the back, which adds that extra styling that we are usually clamoring for in our handsets. Besides looking the part, the tiny dotted lines will potentially aid the grip, too, as metal phones often feel rather slippery in the hand, if their finish is not up to par.
The specs are nothing to sniff at, too, with a 5" HD display, Snapdragon 616 chipset, and a 13 MP PDAF camera. Xiaomi promises 0.1s focusing times, which is indeed very fast, and we are providing some of the official snapshots it says are taken with the Redmi 3, as well as a few design shots. Check them out in the slideshow below.

Slap Snapdragon 820 and a fingerprint scanner here and it'll look better than Mi5, according to the leaks.

Screen? Design? Camera?
There's more to a flagship than battery.

Now...now...you're being overly critical about my comment.
All I was doing was giving this phone a compliment.
That being said, there isn't much screen estate to differentiate between the two and although the design is overly used (not the back), I still prefer it over the leaks of Mi5 so far. Camera, of course, must be better in every way.

This one has a 720p screen and the mi5 will have a QHD. This is as much a difference as there can be.

it's a great bang for buck if it is launched in India within a month.
According to me there are only two cons:-
1. 5" display (coz i prefer smaller form-factor)
2. Hybrid SIM Slot.. (coz i need 2 SIM slots and a MicroSD Slot).

If you need 2 SIM and an SDcard slot, it won't be hybrid slot, you'll need dual SIM slot and a dedicated SDcard slot like Moto X Style.
Hybrid slot means only two available slots where you can swap the secondary SIM slot for an SDcard.

I think you did not read the comment properly. I know what is hybrid sim slot. I said i don't like that.

Yes, I overlooked that one!
Although, I won't mind if 5.2 inch of that screen is backed by 1080p. It would ensure smooth sailing.

They probably wont launch in India at all. Their attitude toward India is extremely bad.

I'd say the wait is definitely worth.. Zenfone doesn't have a good camera. Hope the camera will be as good as the mi4i

Yup hope cameras good ..xiaomi uses Sony camera lens which is always good..zenfone phone is slight costlier also..5.5 " 720p doesn't match up in zemfone max...I'm using redmi 1s ,trust me it's the best phone if u root and install xcelerate kernel..

Dont trust the chineese smartphone makers. From outside they may be really eye-catching and all but afterawards you will certianly regret on decision that you made.

For around a 100 to 150$, there is no need to regret the decision.

The Adreno 405 Isn't Horrible On 1080p I Can Only Imagine That On A 720p Device It Will Be Able To Handle Games Pretty Well. The Redmi 3 Won't Be Half Bad.https://gfxbench.com/device.jsp?benchmark=gfxgen&os=Android&api=gl&cpu-arch=ARM&hwtype=GPU&hwname=Qualcomm%20Adreno%20(TM)%20405&did=27548907&D=HTC%20One%20A9

Sorry But The Gaming Capability Of A Phone Is What Matters Most To Me. I Play A Hand Full Of Graphic Intense 3D Games.
