Explorer here. I got the phone one week ago from Xiaomi Malaysia.

I got the Snapdragon 650 variant @ 32gb storage & 3gb ram.

Loved the battery, 4,050mAh. Easily last for 1 day with screen time of 5 hours plus. I don't use it for games though, I am more to camera, Web browsing, email, social media and music.

Beautiful full HD1080 IPS LCD screen and with aluminium body, it's great! I am using a gold colour and the matte finish feels good! Not finger prints magnet though.

Just for you know, this is the first xiaomi phone with full aluminium body and the finger print sensor. For me, the finger print sensor is at the sweetest spot. I can unlock the phone while holding it without having another hand. It unlocks pretty much less than a second and supports up 5 fingers. Did 2 of mine and 1 for my wife.

The camera produce relatively good photos in a daylight setting. It struggles in lowlight though. Alas, at the price you are paying, this is good.

I can't comment much about the overheat because of my experience has been good so far. The only time I notice heat from the back of the phone when I was taking outdoor photos. It was in the afternoon under the hot sun.. so, it could be from the weather itself? I am not sure. It wasn't bad that it didn't bother me at all, the weather did though!

The video, comes with slow motion and time lapse function. The slow motion is pretty impressive if you ask me. Slow motion up to 120fps, awesome ain't it? The thing is, you can only do slow motion at 720p. Even with 720p, the quality is still reasonably good! I was amazed by the quality.

The phone has a hybrid sim; 1 main micro sim and another exchangeable nano sim or micro sd up to 128gB. Good for those who loves to download or store stuff on their phones.

I will be writing my review soon, I will post it somewhere here! Thanks.

Currently DirectD selling Redmi NOte 3 pro 3GB/32GB for rm950, so the original should be around rm1000. Hope the price below rm1000 smile.gif

i think their main motive now is to compete against Honor... smile.gif

Honor series have faster finger print scanner. Tested my friend Honor 7 SE faster than my Mi4S. Unlock from sleep.

I think Redmi note 3 is competing more towards Honor 5x. Honor 7 SE (if by SE mean Enhanced) priced at 13xx. So not in the price range of RN3 .
*
Honor 5x uses the same finger print scanner as Honor 7.

QUOTE(ashraf095 @ Mar 25 2016, 06:44 PM)
I think they are on different boat. Honor already mentioned they are going to make fast android update for Honor 5x, while xiaomi is the other way around, keep giving miui update but not android version.

Honor 5x for marshmallow and possibly Android N.
Redmi Note 3 for latest gen processor.

Choose one.  tongue.gif

RN3P have big battery.

Which one? Or both?

Mid range now is so capable now. Or is it low range? Or 2nd low range? Haha...very competitive now.

Even iPhone join the lower range market now.

Hi all. My friend bought an AP set RN3 and got this pic popping up intermittently. Any idea what it is? And how to remove it? It's very annoying.

It's adds I think. Most ap set come with vendor rom which is full of adds & bloatware. Flash stock China @ global rom and the problem will be solved.

This phone will make many people confused. Since ap set will be available also by importer. Even more if Xiaomi just name it Redmi Note 3 only here not adding pro moniker.

People will think they have better deal with Mediatek version without realising the difference especially the support of SD card.

No. AP set only.
Mi4i and Mi4c...big diff bro. Performance more than double. RN3 is closer to Mi4c.
*
RN3P still got many advantages over Mi4c even best some part Mi4s.

Larger battery
Higher MP camera
Faster SoC
Fingerprint scanner

I just don't like big screen. If not sure get RN3P
