Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 to be launched in India

After teasing the arrival of the Redmi Note 3 to India for weeks, Xiaomi has finally revealed that the phone will be launched in India on March 3.

"This is the date you've been waiting for the most: the launch event of Redmi Note 3 is happening on March 3, 2016," said the compay in a Facebook post.

The Redmi Note 3 was unveiled to the world in November last year. Featuring a metal body, the Redmi Note 3 is engineered with a MediaTek octa-core processor, and comes in two variants - 16 GB (with 2 GB of RAM) and 32 GB (with 3 GB of RAM).



It has a 5.5-inch Full HD display and runs Android-based OS MIUI 7. Its fingerprint sensor is claimed to unlock the phone in 0.3 seconds. The Redmi Note 3 is packed with a 4000 mAh battery and is said to support fast charging, offering 50 per cent of power in 1 hour.

The phone which is otherwise claimed to be "very thin" measures 8.65 mm at its thickest point. The 16 GB model is priced at 899 RMB (roughly translates to Rs 9,400), and 32 GB at 1099 RMB (around Rs 11,500). The company, however, is yet to announce prices for the Indian market.
