The low-cost model, released at the dawn of 2016, has an attractive appearance and a solid set of characteristics, more typical of the middle segment.
Best
Xiaomi Redmi 3 is rightfully considered one of the best smartphones for little money. Its stylish metal body contains a powerful 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 processor (2 GHz), a good 13-megapixel camera with f / 2.0 aperture, equipped with fast phase detection autofocus, and a capacious 4100 mAh battery. Given the presence of the Adreno 405 graphics accelerator, HD screen resolution and 2 GB of RAM, any applications and games will run on such a “minced meat”. At the same time, you can completely forget about charging — the built-in battery provides up to 3 days of battery life for the gadget. A nice bonus from Chinese engineers is the presence of an infrared port through which you can control home appliances.
Display
The matrix of the smartphone is made using IPS technology. There is no air gap between it and the protective glass. The display itself has a typical HD resolution (1280x720 pixels) and a high pixel density (294 ppi), which is very good for a low-cost solution.
Memory
16 GB of internal memory is allocated for storing user data, a quarter of which is occupied by the Android 5.1.1 operating system with the MIUI 7 shell rolled on top. The possibility of expanding the memory exists, but you have to choose — either a second SIM card or a flash drive. In fact, this is the only drawback of the model.
battery life
Xiaomi has significantly upgraded the Xiaomi Redmi 2 phone. According to its assurances, the third version works by as much as 80% longer, which is due to the optimization of resource consumption and the use of a high-capacity battery. This is not at all a characteristic feature for low-cost models, which set a significant pace for the growth of the segment of inexpensive smartphones in the future.
