Xiaomi has today launched a new cheaper variant of its premium med-range smartphone — Mi Note 3. The new model comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory. Earlier, the device was available in 6GB of RAM with 64GB/128GB storage.

Last month, Xioami had launched a cheaper variant of its flagship smartphone — Mi 6 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The standard variant of this smartphone too features 6GB of RAM.

This new model of Mi Note 3 comes with the the same set of specifications as the standard model, except the memory configuration. The phone is priced at 1,999 Yuan (~ $302) and will go on sale in Xiaomi‘s home country, i.e. China, from Thursday.

While the company has launched a cheaper variant, the company recently reduced the prices of the other variants of the Mi Note 3 smartphone. After the price cut, the 6GB RAM with 64GB internal storage model is available at 2,299 Yuan while the 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage model is priced at 2,699 Yuan.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 3 smartphone features a 5.5-inch Full HD display with screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and pixel density of 403PPI. Under the hood, it is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, clocked at 2.2GHz. With the introduction on this new model, it now has two options when it comes to RAM — 4GB/6GB LPDDR4x RAM.

The smartphone sports a dual camera setup at the back, same as the Mi 6. It comes with a 12-megapixel primary sensor, coupled with wide-angel lens, f/1.8 aperture while the secondary camera comes with  12-megapixel sensor with a telephoto lens. There is also 16-megapixel front-facing camera.

The camera offers 2x optical zoom as well as phase detection autofocus (PDAF) apart from 4K video capture support. The front-facing camera has an AI-based beautification feature and also supports facial recognition unlocking.

Additional features of the Mi Note 3 include NFC, IR port, under-glass fingerprint, stereo speakers, and USB Type-C port. The smartphone is powered by a 3,500mAh battery which also supports fast charging.

Lately, Xiaomi has launched a bunch of new smartphones. A few months ago, the company launched Mi A1 — Xiaomi’s first Android One smartphone. Recently, it launched Redmi Y series with the launch of Redmi Y1 and Redmi Y1 Lite — a range of smartphones that focuses on selfie camera.

However, launching new devices has worked in favour of the company as most of these devices have been well-received by the users. This helped the company to become the leading smartphone vendor in India, along with Samsung.

Xiaomi announced the Mi Note 3 along with the Mi Mix 2 and a new Mi Notebook Pro laptop on September 11. The device has already gone up for sale so it is unsurprising that it has been given the teardown treatment. We bring you the Mi Note 3 teardown photos which isn’t really a guide in case you are looking for one. This is just to show you the internals and perhaps take note of a couple of important stuff inside. 

The Mi Note 3 is a bigger version of the Mi 6 and Xiaomi did state that clearly during its launch. The two models adopt exactly the same design on the outside and the hardware like dual camera sensors, metal body covered with glass, front fingerprint sensor and others are located in the same position on the two Xiaomi models. It is interesting to note that the internals are also arranged in the same manner on the Mi Note 3 as it is on the Mi 6. The internals are not exactly the same, as the Note 3 packs a mid-range Snapdragon 660 processor and a couple of other specs differences. Of course, SD 660 uses a 14nm FinFet process so would be larger than the 10nm Snapdragon 835 chip on the Mi 6. The teardown also reveals the Mi Note 3 comes with Xiaomi’s regular three-stage design, though which should make it easy to dismantle. The teardown begins by removing the SIM card tray at the side of the device. Thereafter, the rear cover is removed using a suction cup and then a flat object to pry open the cover. From then on, it won’t be a difficult task for anyone with the technical skills to disassemble the device.

While we are yet to get enough of the Xiaomi Mi Note 2, someone is already thinking of a  Xiaomi Mi Note 3 in his mind’s eyes which actually came out in some cool concept images. A set of cool images said to be of the Mi Note 3 has been outed by concept designer Kingway Lee. The renders look very beautiful but don’t feature any design identity that could give a hint that it is a Xiaomi smartphone. It is unlikely Xiaomi would chat that course in the final design of the Mi Note 3, whenever they choose to commence production of a next-gen Mi Note device, something we don’t expect to happen very soon.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 hit the market late last year but production hasn’t been able to meet up the demand for the flagship Mi-series smartphone. Just like the Mi Mix, the Mi Note 2 came with a design language different from all what Xiaomi had done in the past. The device made its debut as Xiaomi’s first smartphone with a dual-curved display looking more like a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge than the first gen Mi Note.

Overall, the images take the Mi Note 2 design to a next level, coming with more visual effect, overall sleekness and a display using the under glass ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The best you could do with these images is to feast your eyes on them and nothing more. We might never see the Mi note 3 adorning this design.
