Xiaomi today launched the Redmi Note 3 in India. Running on the Snapdragon 650 hexa-core processor, the Redmi Note 3 (Pro) comes in two storage options: 2GB RAM / 16GB storage & 3GB RAM / 32GB storage alongwith expandable storage (hybrid slot) and runs Android 5.1 lollipop based MIUI 7 on top.

The metal-clad, fingerprint sensor Redmi Note 3 also has a 5.5-inch display up front and an upgraded 16MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture, PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus) capable of recording 1080p videos.
