Events taking place in the local markets are of little interest to ordinary Ukrainian customers, unless it is not about the China market. Meizu M1 and M2 Note, Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, Meizu M1 Metal and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 – all these smart phones have been created with the expectation of a huge domestic market and to compete with local players, but have become very popular in our country. By the end of 2015 loomed simple scheme – the mass popular smartphone should be inexpensive, productive, normal camera, screen and battery, and even better if it is metal body and, for example, a fingerprint scanner. As you know, today we will focus precisely on this machine.
The models in the line: 6
Price Range: 4995 – 7208 UAH

Options
In the last apparatus Xiaomi observed changes and the first of them can be seen as soon as the box with your smartphone falls into your hands.
Redmi Note 3 – the first device company that comes in a box is not dark recycled cardboard (not counting Mi 4C, there simply change the color of the packaging). Making boxing very similar products Apple – the same image of the device from above, white background and dimensions, the minimum excess device inside.
The filling has not undergone any changes: charging cable, clip, and documentation.
Design
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 – the first device in the budget line Redmi with molded body made of metal. Yet it is one of the most metal smartphones, because before it was limited only to the side frames, or hidden under the plastic frame, and then the aluminum covers most of the back.
top and bottom there small plastic inserts – they are necessary for the normal operation of the antenna. Location of the functional elements of the traditional for the company, good. Above the screen there is a speaker, a camera, a set of sensors and LED notifications under the display – three touch-sensitive buttons with white backlighting.
On the left side – Tray for two MicroSIM, right – the power key and volume control. Above you can find the 3.5 mm jack, microphone noise reduction and infrared port, bottom – the main microphone and connector MicroUSB. The latter, as in many other Xiaomi, shifted to.
Behind placed the main camera, flash, and a fingerprint reader, they are framed by neatly beveled and minimal recessed inside. At the bottom – a wide net of multimedia speaker.
The smartphone is available in three colors: dark gray, silver and gold.
In terms of build quality to the machine no complaints. Molded body automatically ensures a certain rigidity, and the items in our smartphone fit together perfectly. However, if you ask for, it is strongly twisting the body, you can achieve a minimum backlash or creak – it’s still no iPhone.
Some features of ergonomics Redmi Note 3 to allocate hard – we apparatus typical for her diagonal screen size, average weight and the thickness of the body. The corners are rounded, so the smart phone fits well in hand, and with a certain stretch of the imagination it can be used with one hand. In winter, your skin is more dry, so in some cases the body is slippery, but everything individually.
If you compare Redmi Note 2 and 3, the design was a lot of good changes. Due, the disposable body get rid of squeaks and backlash cap, that sometimes appear in the past generation, and thanks to the metal back of the smartphone looks and feels more expensive than it actually is.
Display
As and its predecessor, in Redmi Note 3 set IPS screen diagonal of 5.5 inches with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. Matrix covers the protective glass with oleophobic coating. Although the formal characteristics have not changed, the new smartphone display is better. For example, it shows the results of measurements colorimeter:
| Device / Feature | The maximum brightness, cd / m2 | Minimum Brightness, cd / m2 | Contrast |
| Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 | 355 | 7 | 1: 618 |
| Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 | 403 | 7 | 1: 863 |
These changes are visible with the naked eye. We do not have Redmi Note 2 for a direct comparison, but the feelings of the screen color reproduction become more intense and contrasting. Oleophobic coating remains plus or minus the same – the finger glides well and fingerprints while there, but easily erased.
If you judge a screen complex, then we have a good display with excellent viewing angles, good natural color and excellent calibration.
You can adjust the contrast and color temperature – it will come in handy if you want to adjust the screen “for themselves.” There are read-only mode, fill the screen in yellow, which helps to reduce eye fatigue (in theory).
The display no critical deficiencies – all is well with the brightness and contrast, and color rendition, too. However, there are quibbles – it is not included by double tapping and deprived the regime of hypersensitivity to control the gloves, and in some situations, the sensor auto adjustment of brightness overstates the level of illumination.
Hardware platform, Fingerprint Reader
Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 was built on a platform MediaTek Helio X10 – a successful eight-chip (core Cortex-A53 2 GHz) with graphics performance PowerVR G6200, so the new smartphone did not fundamentally change anything. To significant changes can be attributed perhaps that the refusal of MicroSD memory card slot, and that the older version with 32 GB of RAM are now equipped with 3 instead of 2 GB of RAM. As befits a modern device in Redmi Note 3 have Wi-Fi standard 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac (2,4 + 5 GHz), Bluetooth 4.1, and GPS / GLONASS. Another has FM-radio and infrared to control household appliances.
For the first time in the products Xiaomi appeared fingerprint scanner. Like the Nexus line of devices or smartphones Huawei, he is back, under the camera. The company claims that the fingerprint occurs in 0.3 seconds. All this is very similar to the truth.
The smartphone can store prints five fingers, and the accuracy and speed of detection is comparable to the iPhone 6s – simply touch the scanner, then the smartphone is unlocked, turn on the screen and you get to the desktop.
By the interface speed, smoothness of animation or gaming performance no complaints, this relatively budget smartphone can compete even with the leader. But it is necessary to take into account some voracity shell MIUI, the system takes up about 1 GB of RAM, so if you need a stock, it is better to give preference to the older version with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of ROM (we tested it so).
Time Work
The molded body mounted battery 4000 mAh (1000 mAh more than Redmi Note 2). From smartphones capacious battery is always waiting for some records, but the real time has increased in proportion to the capacity of (the other components conventionally have not changed).
With an average load Redmi Note 3 can run for two full days showing 4:00 active screen . In most cases, when I used a smartphone in his usual way, he was working day and a half, showing 5.5 hours of screen. Usually my usage profile includes a synchronization of the two Google-accounts, the use of mobile Internet, correspondence in Viber and Facebook, reading Twitter, at least telephone conversations, some music videos from YouTube, syncing pedometer for Bluetooth – the load is not a record, but it is enough.
Calls multimedia
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 supports simultaneous operation of two MicroSIM based on one radio module. Setting the standard of their work – you can set the “sim card” for calls and the Internet, in the phone application icons and messages are displayed two SIM-cards. Both can operate in 3G and 4G – these parameters are specified in the settings. For each card, you can set a ringing tone incoming calls and messages.
With regard to the quality of signal reception of mobile networks or speaker volume, microphone sensitivity to the smartphone no comments – everything is working properly. Separately, you can note the two dynamics – have spoken have good stock volume and ringing loud and high quality, in most situations it is not covered or not fully muted.
Vibrate medium strength, sometimes you can not feel it. He’s not the most pleasant, slightly jarring vibration, for example, I turned off the vibration when you touch the keys, although in most cases do not. The quality of music playback on the usual average level – a good volume, it’s OK to detail, there is no extraneous noise.
Camera
In the smartphone two chambers – the main with a resolution of 13 megapixels (f / 2.2) , a two-ton LED flash and autofocus and a front phase 5 megapixel (f / 2.0), both can shoot Full HD video. Compared to the last generation change at least – have added a double flash and taught “frontalku” shoot video in Full HD, judging by the pictures, the modules were or the same.
Photos taken in automatic mode
This means that the photographs taken during the day on the street or in a well-lit rooms are of good quality, in sufficient detail, natural color reproduction and the correct white balance.
Photos taken Mode HDR
Another note quick work phase autofocus and traditional quality implementation of the regime HDR.
Sample pictures taken with a front camera
the evening or night pictures already look less impressive – falls detail, much longer are focused. In difficult conditions, shooting low-cost smartphones is nothing to oppose the flagship.
Soft shell and especially the use
Smartphone running MIUI 7.1, based on Android 5.0.2. When you upgrade from 7 to MIUI MIUI 7.1 shell functionality has not changed, at least visible changes I can not find – in front of us is the same firmware interface where all the installed applications are placed on the desktop and are sorted into folders. There is support for themes that change the application icons, registration firmware, settings menu. The system can be flexibly adjust many parameters, including the applications in the background, job notifications, applications’ access to personal data and mobile Internet – it is useful to those who like to tune all by itself.
Unfortunately, last year in politics Xiaomi changes occur that reduce the usability of its devices. At the time of writing only available for the device Chinese official firmware (without localization services and Google) and firmware translated soccer fans communities. Naturally, we are interested in the past, but to install them need to use a computer and software Flash Tools or engage in the procedure unlock the bootloader and install a third-party recovery – it is not very convenient.
Smartphone purchased in China, can come from any firmware (including viruses), if you buy in Ukraine the store can sell and immediately adapted machine. In any case, most of the support will be borne by the user and if you do not know the words of recovery, firmware, you do not know what forum 4pda, then from buying it is probably better to abstain.
Results
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 – a great smartphone, which is extremely difficult to find the critical defects. The company significantly improved the already good Redmi Note 2. The new model has become more expensive, but the changes are overpaid. Only one metal casing and a fingerprint scanner output thrill of using the machine to a new level, the smartphone felt much more expensive device than it actually is. There is a small change – a better screen, while maintaining the size increased battery capacity, a version 3 GB RAM, added a double flash. If critical parameters are the presence of the memory card slot and a collapsible body, you should give preference to the previous version. The smartphone has a good in general, and even better in terms of price / quality ratio, but before placing your order, or going to the store suggested to assess their strength and think about whether it will suit you in virtue of the above features. We do them a discount, and call Redmi Note 3 one of the best among the current low-cost smartphones.
