Right from the onset, Xiaomi has set one objective quite clear. They want to emulate the iPhone models and someday try to be better than them. They began by pricing their phones (Starting with Mi3) nearly 30% of a usual iPhone . The phone had a rock solid metal body, a super fast OS without the Launcher (just like an iPhone) and a brilliant camera. Without any second guesses, stocks flew off the digital shelves, through the flash sales conducted by Flipkart
Launch of Redmi Note 3 however has grabbed some eyeballs definitely, not because of their hardware specifications, but primarily the "iPhone" like design . Even the colours weren't spared as they have launched the exact 3 colours of the iPhone 6/6S, namely Silver, Space Grey and wait for it, Rose Gold.
But nevertheless, the Redmi Note 3 definitely warrants a good rating
Price (Rating : 10/ 10)
The price point is almost exactly similar to other recently launched models. The 10-13K price segment is the hottest in the industry and almost everyone prefers to get something in this budget. (Very few actually opt in for the 25K phones and there's a whole different segment that insists on getting only a 50K iPhone)
Redmi Note 3 is priced at 10K and should definitely admit that it is worth every penny for that price or even more. Good luck even finding a piece , as most pieces seem to fly out of the shelves every time it comes back in stock
Processor (Rating 8/10)
A Snapdragon 650 Processor easily does the trick for Redmi Note 3 . The apps loads very fast and doesn't seem to have any lagging issues
Battery (Rating : 10/ 10) :
One of the most impressive features about the phone is its humongous battery capacity. With a 4050mah battery, this easily gets to power for more than 1-1.5 days even with heavy usage. That to me is a single major advantage that tips the favour of this phone. Almost all phones in the 10-13K doesn't cross the 3000mah limit
Storage (Rating : 8 / 10)
It comes with a default 16GB storage and a optional SD Card slot which relieve the phone of some of the large photo and music files a user wanna carry. Incidentally it also comes with a 32 GB version at 2K extra . On a practical note, the same 16gb SD card would cost you anywhere less than 300rs and better to spend on that instead of a 32gb version model
RAM (Rating : 6 /10) :
Slightly disappointing expectations on this front, the Note 3 comes with only a 2GB RAM and almost everyone would have second guessed and expected a 3GB RAM. The extra 1GB RAM if it had been there would have made a lot of difference to handle several applications and big graphic intensive games. However for a normal user who'd probably use it only for Music/FB/Calling/Whatsapp, 2GB is more than sufficient for the phone to handle its tasks. You may tend to see some minor overheating now and then after a long call or playing a game, but it shouldn't be of any concern
Camera (Rating : 6 /10 )
The most important feature while selecting a phone is the camera. Xiaomi usually has excellent cameras in their phone , since their Mi3. However the Redmi series has always been a letdown in the camera perspective and never really had much focus on it. Though they claim to have a 16MP camera rear and 5MP in front, the photos lack sharpness and not as bright in comparison with a similarly priced phone like the Moto G3/G4

OS , General Performance, Design & Overall Rating : 8/10
Xiaomi 's MIUI is fantastic as always. Smooth , launcher less user
interface and works like a charm. It never seems to hang even when
multiple applications were opened . The design is also beautiful with
the Golden colour to be the highlight of this launch.
