Xiaomi just launched their latest budget smartphone, the RedMi 3. It’s a 5 inch, octa core. Powered by the new Snapdragon 616, 2GB of DDR3 RAM and a 16GB Rom. The battery is a large 4100mAh and unlike the Redmi Note 3 I reviewed, it does support MicroSD cards.
Spec wise you get a lot for $159, a full metal body and a 13MP and from facing 5MP camera. The only real downside I see is the screen, which is only a 1280 x 720 screen. Shame it’s not 1080p, but hey for the price range of this model it’s not bad.
