Operating system and graphic shell

Hello everyone, my dear friends. Today we are looking at a popular and at the same time popular Chinese gadget from the Xiaomi company - a 5.5-inch phablet that will not win the title of “people's smartphone of 2016”. So, dear friends, let’s get to know our hero from the sky one more time, let’s try to find out about all his shortcomings and compare him with the “purchase” of other smartphones from different price categories that have come Vati is in my hands. So, my dears, I ask everyone for help in order to get to know Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro better.

Having appeared on the cob of rock Xiaomi smartphone Redmi Note 3 appeared as a great model, and thus the company made significant strides forward in comparing it with another “laptop”. However, Xiaomi decided not to rest on its achievements and released its updated version, providing the gadget with the Pro prefix in the name. The subject costs significantly more than the basic version on the MTK platform, and you can determine which smartphone is in front of you only after removing the SIM card slot. For Note 3 version Pro other The seat is combined - you can install a Nano-SIM (Micro-SIM in the case of the basic Note 3) or a microSD card. What will happen after the processor version is changed is the presence of support for memory cards in Redmi Note 3 Pro, which is absent in Redmi Note 3. By the way, the processor is in an updated version of Qualcomm installations. Both boxes are absolutely identical. And nowhere is it stated that this is the Pro version. There is also a label on the gate side of the package, where in the middle of the hieroglyphs you can mark the numbers “650” (indicates the version Qualcomm processor Snapdragon), “6” (cores) and operating frequency “1.8GHz”. The smartphone is available in two versions: 2/16 and 3/32 (RAM / ROM). My version has the older version

Children have learned the basic duties between their “relatives” and Note rulers 3, let's move on to the reference. First of all, a few words about delivery. Since the purchase is no longer cheap, when choosing a delivery method, the option was courier delivery, where “ridiculous” terms were indicated. Of course, I gave permission for delivery by this service, in the hope that the smartphone will arrive in just a few days. Oh, how I had mercy... The shipment was sent by SDEK. And this is the first failure in my practice, since the service was so timid. I won’t go into details about navigation, I’ll just say one thing: that the agreement was broken by 31 sickles, and the delivery took until Nizhny Novgorod in 20 days, and for another three days I could not cancel my package due to the delivery service.

For lovers of track numbers



XIAOMI Redmi Note 3 Pro

Well, now let's move on to our gadget. If I lost an unacceptable “siege” from the delivery service, then the store I'll tell the robot I just can’t figure it out. Read this video about packaging the device. The smartphone was packed in a “shattered mattress”, and the whole package was baked into a ball of material, which resembles a lining under the laminate. Our gadget was packaged this way without any damage.


Our gadget is delivered from the powerful company Xiaomi in a separate spark box. The front side shows the color scheme of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro smartphone. I think you already know that the smartphone is available in three colors: gold, silver and black. Since my squad was present during the selection, it was decided to take the golden color


From the end part of the packaging, the vibrator saw the movies, which are “Volodya” Denmark smartphone. Those who saw everything present - nothing wonderful. The smartphone had non-Chinese firmware installed, with a clumsy Russian language (as I look around)


On the other hand, there is standard information for any smartphone - basic technical characteristics and IMEI numbers. As you may have noted, there is only one IMEI number, although there are two SIM cards. Given the problem, That’s how they can be called by everyone. And the most important thing is that milk crops work well in Russian borders






Before shipping your smartphone, please check the stickers around the perimeter of the box. Like melodiously, the good Chinese installed the “firmware” before sending it


In the middle of the box, our hero stood up and looked at the golden color. As far as accessories are concerned, this one is standard. Underneath the gadget, carefully insert a booklet with instructions, among which there is a broken head for opening the SIM card tray, charger, A 1.5 meter long cable and an adapter, about which the spivorets were picked up by the store and put in the “damaged mattress”












As a rule, the tests are placed at the end of the review. Ale so I already mentioned the living block, I encourage you to check it under navantazhennyam. Virobnik states that the transformer is ready to output 5 volts and 2 amperes. Strum at the entrance - 0.35A


We first install the charging device and find out at what maximum power the protection is required


additional information













With a maximum voltage of 2.2 A, the flow rate becomes less than 0.112 A


Since the smartphone battery was running low, I was able to fill a new 3759mAh charger with a standard charger. This is despite what the virobnik declares rechargeable battery Capacity 4050 Ah. The battery is charged from 0% to 100% battery in 3 years and 5 hours (from 0% to 75 in 1 year and 55 hours).


Well, now for the nitty-gritty - let's move on to the external appearance of a Xiaomi smartphone. Zovni is an exact copy of Xiaomi Redmi 3s. The main size is the screen size is 5.5 inches.




The smartphone feels great in your hands. Until what time we have with our squad the main smartphones Asus ZenFone 2 Laser ZE500KL. Asus's screen is 5 inches. The same hour, the subject has 5.5 inches. And before purchasing, I look at the device and have doubts about the reliability of the device. Well, as it turned out, all the experiences were marne. The model from the Xiaomi company has identical dimensions and, although there are no frames as in the Asus model, sits in the hands like a normal one




From the front side, near the top of the gadget, moved to the right: a speaker, a light sensor, and front camera. The front cameras, as the manufacturer says, are 5 megapixels. Covered with a lens without autofocus with an aperture of f / 2.0 and an equivalent focal length of 30 mm, you can record video in FullHD.


At the lower part of the front side there were three touch buttons, The android is painfully familiar to the skin. Please note that the buttons are equipped with backlights, which is rare among new products.


On the gate, in addition to the main camera, there is a finger sensor. Such uninstallation cannot be called remote; a smartphone lying on the table would be impossible to unblock. And since there are concerns about the scanner’s robotic nature, we simply cannot make any claims with precision or accuracy. Everything works just perfect. The quantity of milk is used to reduce the amount of milk to zero.

One of the features of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro is equal to its predecessor in becoming the main camera module. It is a 16-megapixel sensor with hybrid autofocus, which is covered by a five-lens lens with an f/2.0 aperture and an equivalent focal length of approximately 27 mm. So it’s easy to understand the obviousness of two-tone photos, and in system camera There is a simpler option for manual mode, in which you can adjust white balance and ISO.




The lower part of the body has a refurbished speaker, which is almost one of the advantages in this smartphone model


At the top end there is a jack for headphones, an infrared port and a noise-canceling speaker


from the front side, and from the bottom side - a micro-USB connector and a microphone


The volume dial and the power/mute button of the smartphone have taken their place on the right side of the gadget. Third - slot for memory card and SIM cards




This model has a hybrid slot - equal to its predecessor. The slot for the SIM card consists of two sections: a section for nanoSim / microSD and another section for microSim. This means only one thing: you won’t be able to get a single memory card and two cards without a loan. You will have to choose one thing: either two cards or memory and one card.

Everything would be fine, but the back cover of the Vikonan smartphone is made of plastic. The entire body is made of aluminum, but don’t mind the upper and lower inserts: they smell like plastic. The aluminum solution is a clear advantage over plastic cases. On the other side, on the aluminum end, all damage and abrasions will be visible from any surface, and otherwise wow - the metal body plays an important role in heat dissipation and boosting the received signal




For comparison, two models of the same speaker: 5-inch 3S and 5.5-inch Note 3 Pro




Well, since we’re talking about dimensions, let’s take a look at the size and dimensions of the device

Vag and dimensions

The price of a smartphone is 173 grams. The battery is average, but if we take into account that on board we have a battery with a capacity of 4000 mAg, then the battery ceases to be larger


Smartphone height 148mm


Width - 74mm



Tovshchina - 7mm

smartphone firmware

after talking about external view, Varto go to the “inner light” of the gadget. And let’s continue our Rozmova about the firmware. The body felt nothing for the first time. I picked up my smartphone and started it up. Everything is good enough. Ale mene zbentezhiv “clumsy” translation. In addition, half of the text was not translated into Russian language. Having entered the “Information about the system”, everything fell into place. In front of me is a Chinese under-flashing, which the Chinese are installing left and right for everyone.








It was decided to install global firmware. On the website 4pda a report was found about the firmware of this gadget, a file with software downloaded from the official Xiaomi website. It was possible to sew via MiFlash. There were no problems, everything was back to normal the first time. I ask for global, stable firmware, we have received updates via OTA and an official translation into Russian language. The number of bugs and glitches has changed significantly. On the one hand, there were no problems installing the firmware. On the other hand, the cross-border buyer would like to take the working smartphone out of the box, which is already up-to-date, and first of all, the software is being updated. Here, unfortunately, we cannot take away this.
After all the manipulations, we released the stable version 8.0.2.0, and just yesterday, the updated firmware version 8.0.5.0 arrived, and it was installed without any problems


Out of the box, the MIUI 7 shell came out of the box. Otherwise, I didn’t hesitate to download the firmware with a larger new shell - MIUI 8. For smartphones like Xiaomi, these shells are the same. For those who have taken a smart phone for the first time in their hands, nothing foldable has been mastered

LOOK LOOK AND SCREEN WILL BE BRIGHTENED

When I look around the crowd, the stench here is simply gorgeous. The IPS display matrix allows you to view images without color interference at 170 degrees. It’s a great pity that you can’t transfer images to the screen through the camera












The screen brightness criterion still plays an important role when choosing a smartphone. A bright screen allows the smartphone to never be readable in drowsy weather, and minimal brightness allows it to not strain your eyes at late hours. Therefore, the greater the difference between minimum and maximum brightness, the greater the advantage of this device.


So, dear friends, let’s admire and appreciate the brightness of the smartphones that I have held in my hands


In fact, the gadget is used not only by brightening the screen itself, but also by reading it. Allowed FHD to transmit clearly and clearly the picture under direct sleep changes. And the minimum lightening level is down to zero. Nowadays, my dark eyes are no longer exposed to the smartphone screen. If you look visually at the screen, there are no obvious differences from its counterpart from the Redmi line. At the maximum displays, the gadget gave up a little, and at the minimum it took the first place in our hit parade. Definitely, there will be no problems with it both in sleepy weather and when watching movies under the carpet.

A detailed updated table with technical data on lightness is available here

SOUND AND SPEAKER



The single speaker in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro is located on the rear surface in the lower part. The sound is simply gorgeous: loud, clear and without wheezing. When you place the device on the table with the screen facing up, the signal volume is muted for a third.

In terms of the clarity of sound in headphones and the range of volume, Redmi Note 3 Pro practically does not compromise with the flagship products of other famous manufacturers. There is an FM radio on board, you can operate without a connected headset, only the reception signal makes it impossible to use the shortest

I don’t think twice about the topic of sound in the next section. Nowadays, more and more buyers have become concerned not only with the camera, but also with the loudness of the sound speaker and its sound quality. And I would like to do some kind of test for the soundness of the created melody. Only those smartphones with which I am particularly “familiar” share their fate in this collection. The main goal of this task is not only to recognize and measure the loudness of the sound, but also to try to convey to you the purity and brightness of the sound in the skin of the device. There is the same sound for all gadgets - the sound is simulated on one device for testing, which produces one melody. The composition is the “strong” song of Polina Gagarina “Cuckoo”, which we all know, the stream speed is 320 kbit/sec.

As if to show the truth, from all the gadgets I looked at early on, the Sabzhevy one emerged as the most powerful and the cleanest speaker. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the testing table


You can admire a detailed article on this topic with descriptions and photographs

BUNS Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro

about fingerprint sensor, And more precisely, about the presence of an infrared port in the device, I knew quite a bit, but the presence of an infrared port in the device was a surprise for me. For starters, you might think that we have been transported to the beginning of the 2000s. Neither friends, we in the whole 21st century and the IR port will be touched by our gadgets. Well, from now on and let’s get to know each other...

IR port
The smartphone has a program for controlling various equipment - Mi Remote. In Russian, there seems to be a remote control for all equipment. Setting up is quite simple, go into the program, including the device on which the control process will be carried out and forward, following the prompts to set up the device for yourself. Hey, let's go...

This program has a large number of all types of equipment and generators. If you lose a bun without even that, the Vlasnikovs will probably never leave. I managed to adjust two TVs and air conditioning. No problem...

To begin with, select the type of technology


Vibrated. Shukaemo in the lists of the virobnik. Is there nothing? We can’t do this... The Chinese are throwing away all the technology, they don’t know what kind of technology is in our booths. Especially I could connect samsung tv release 2001 roku






Further direct instructions to the device and the selection of its functions (apply power)




Once everything is ready, select the functional TV remote control at the output



Finger scanner
The fingerprint sensor serves as a means of unlocking the device. Having installed the smartphone successfully and across it for a few days, I called the sensor so much that on my ASUS I automatically try to find it to unlock it. I will not describe the entire process of installing fingers, I can only say one thing. For a more thorough treatment of the finger, apply to the skin of the finger twice. Then the settlements are read almost to zero.

PRODUCTIVITY AND HEATING

Owning a smartphone is even more difficult for this price category. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 platform with six-core processors: four cores at a frequency of 1.2 GHz (Cortex-A53) and two cores at a frequency of 1.8 GHz (Cortex-A72). Graphics system - Adreno 510. I ran a number of productivity tests and the results were less than satisfactory. This is such a productive 3D game, like Asphalt 8 without a single tinker “worked” for the test

It’s just a matter of heating up, as if I didn’t try to heat up the gadget to the maximum, which I didn’t get. The temperature could rise by 8.2 degrees




Tests before and after heating the device under heating failed to reveal throttling. The robbery accounted for approximately 2% of the cob extinctions

Smartphone camera

As for the lack of cameras on smartphones, I can say with success - all the hopes placed on it, the camera really couldn’t do it. According to the manufacturer, the device has a 16-megapixel sensor with hybrid autofocus, which is covered by a five-lens lens with an f/2.0 aperture. The camera's functionality is limited, although the main functions for taking more photos are present. This is the very possibility of panoramic photography.

PHOTO
Theory is very good, but let’s move on to practice and admire the application of photographs

Time Lapse Full HD 1920 * 1080 - Day

Having spotted a new product from Xiaomi on Gearbest - XIAOMI Redmi Note 3 Pro, I am ready to share my feelings about how a premium smartphone is subject to irrational marks. Lightly look back, there is a lot of subjectivism and the history of purchasing XIAOMI Redmi Note 3 Pro for a remarkably inexpensive price.

Well, a month ago, my comrades turned to me and helped me get a smartphone from my squad here in the vastness of the Chinese markets. In the beginning, I buy on Ali, but looking at the greater risk of making a deal, I decide to turn to me - I still struggle more often and am more familiar with all sorts of pitfalls. Comrade, I’m still working on the remaining choice of model, and I’m just asking for the same food. Only I have already become prominent and have become recommended to my comrades along the same path - to take compact smartphone type of branded winemaker and with up-to-date characteristics -. Comrade, having heard, he became wiser, but the next day he dropped this link and said - this is all and only this - http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_308824.html

That’s how I reacted

New, start of sales, delayed price tag, 5.5 ", finger scanner and REACTIVE TIGHTNESS - why is everything in a woman's smart? Comrade thought and said: "that's all and that's all. can you help me buy? »

On the right there was a storm in the first half, in fact, the XIAOMI Redmi Note 3 Pro 32GB was not yet in sight in fact anywhere and it would be a shame to take away this much more. I marveled at Ali and received proposals of about 240-250 dollars. It seems to be calmer there in terms of protecting the buyer, otherwise there may be a shipment of whatever or whatever.

Having marveled at GB, there was a figure of 246 bucks and the first sales. I always thought that the price would be set lower and clients would be recruited in such a way that they were guaranteed to have their phone taken away as soon as they showed up. In this way, everyone would benefit:
1) Gearbest will immediately provide buyers for the model as soon as it appears. let me go with a minimal premium
2) buyers would take the phone at a minimal price, having trusted their money at the pre-sale stage for “replacement”, and not for the phone

However, everything turned out to be a little more complicated - the early sales ended, Gearbest phones were successfully sent out to everyone and began to be sold for a price of 229 bucks, just like that. Or the feature was that they bought the money to send it to the first place at the price of the terrible Chinese marketing.

The purchases were still hanging on the gearbest because I had too much power there and they were already planning to burn (about the whole advance on the post). I even regularly buy a lot of stuff on gear, take photos, take videos, and thus gain more points without wasting money on purchases.

There were nearly 2000 points, I quickly confirmed the agreement as much as possible and filled in all sorts of other things to get the maximum and in the bag it turned out to be 201 dollars actually given to the Chinese. It would be possible to save a little more and not take additional buns when getting married (the track is there and so on for getting wet), otherwise I’m definitely exposed to other people’s promises, and so I decided to play it safe as much as possible. Whatever happens, price for XIAOMI Redmi Note 3 Pro versions 32GB was acceptable at that time. After only a few sieges were lost, the final price was 180 bucks when buying with my points...

More details about the elements of purchase

[Zgornuti]

We paid for the purchase and started checking the department. There were no surprises here - advance sales were closed until the 13th (week), and on Monday they arrived. When was the postal service from the Netherlands, everything was prompt, and I, my friend, focused on the format - 10 days until “how to spare”

Marvel at the unpacking of XIAOMI Redmi Note 3 Pro

There will be a few days of work on the box again writing XIAOMI Redmi Note 3 Pro. Even if you look carefully, you can see the impact on the box...

Ale pishov at least, Google it, read it, and I’m sure it’s like that for everyone. Having started the phone just before unpacking, everything is still fine. Chi turns on =)

The Miui7 shell did not let me through without primary settings systems and axis at the very start of the smart, I began to understand why Xiaomi smartphones have so many bugs

The rear cover is made of steel, the screen is flat, there is nothing to play / creak / fall out, smooth animation of the menu - you pick up just out of the box and it’s awesome

It’s still not clear to me about the version (I haven’t had a chance to deal with the tests of Xiaomi phones), but I’ve looked at the main parameters and specified them for myself - so, this very model XIAOMI Redmi Note 3 Pro 32GB, without tricks

Still the same bachimo in Antutu and CPU-Z


More info tests here

The number of installed sensors is simply off the charts

[Zgornuti]

Among the sensors of Redmi Note 3 Pro, I especially note the multi-colored light indicator

The axis looks like this in reality

In the end, everything was just super smart, an extravaganza of tactile sensations made of premium materials, a flying system (not entirely Russified in some places), a significant reserve of pressure and a 10-point multi-touch - share flag maniv.

Ale if I downloaded a lot of megabytes new versions Antutu, having noticed that Wi-Fi is unstable and the speed is something like that... By installing a tester (lower budget router through 2 walls, upper relay through 4 walls, and even tighter)

Having put in the speed test, it didn’t seem like it, but Wi-Fi is to blame a little more. There were no breaks or failure of the fence, everything was fine. And I have even more problems in my mind - I don’t mind. But in them, in my case, phones of a lower class received 40-50 MB / s, and not 10-20-30. Qie Xiaomei, what are you doing?

With GPS on a cold start, I spotted a couple of companions at my table and I started to get embarrassed, but until the end of the day - 1 second (!) And everything is back to normal

Let's now go through the details of Redmi Note 3 Pro. Below we have three touch buttons with lights that can be assigned and re-assigned to their counterparts. The flexibility of the system is not only the light indicator, but there is also a one-handed mode and a simpler mode, you can reassign the keys of the rocker to sound. There is an IR port for controlling home appliances and a 3.5mm jack, a right-handed lock button and sound controllers, and an evil axis! ... evil - trouble! ..

Nice detail from the trendy ones in many new models, which is why all the manufacturers simultaneously began to embarrass their fans. This is the case in Xiaomi, in Meizi, and in other processors of greater or less serious level - either 2 sem, or sem + micro-sd. And in this case you won’t be able to fold the “sandwich”, the tray won’t get wet. You won’t have to worry about removing 32GB of internal memory.

Whoever was not surprised at the unpacking of the XIAOMI Redmi Note 3 Pro 32GB, did not add a 2A charger and an adapter under it for a European plug. In total, with a USB-microUSB cable, a purchase of waste paper and a clip, you can get the entire smartphone kit.

In the meantime, I turned the Redmi Note 3 Pro in my hands and several times caught myself thinking that it was cool and I would buy it myself. And then write a review and give this table an ambiguous name. Why all?

And all that he is great and that he is extremely heavy. In the middle there is an unknown battery with a sizeable capacity of 4000 mAh, and it’s easy to go through the menu / not too many tests allow you to do a lot of trimming. How will you handle the Redmi Note 3 Pro if you spend hours playing like this dynamic 3D shooter? It's all the same day + -

Let's get some pouches, ladies vdguk XIAOMI Redmi Note 3 Pro 32GB
+ Tablets are no longer expensive, just like the beginning
+ Good materials and a high level of yakness
+ Beautiful and chic system
+ Even more serious performance characteristics compared to top-end smartphones
+ - bad battery, but in connection with pressing the processor- it’s not enough, or it’s a dialer + easy surfing
+ - the firmware is stable, without lags, but there is no update to the firmware version from the store and has not been transferred in places
- it’s still not a woman’s phone

As for the firmware, there are still a lot of options for changing it with the latest instructions and the power supply can be changed without problems. But the main strength of this post lies in the fact that it is easier to choose gadgets and their ease of keeping current tasks. And if you need to multiply five by five every hour, it is not rational to buy a top-end ultrabook, you will need a calculator. Of course, Redmi Note 3 Pro with its 75k synthetic components will fly with light surfing and calling, but I would still choose the simpler option...

Also, in return for profit, it advertises cashback for gearbest - http://backly.ru/?i=u5p Super universal, so the number of refunds for spent cash is small. Then it works practically everywhere - Ali / eBay / gearbest / tomtop / shopping stores from the SND region - this can be a great deal.

This is a chaotic story about my purchase and my rumors about the XIAOMI Redmi Note 3 Pro 32GB. That's all, I lost only a photo of Shnupa

Let me remind you that the line of Redmi devices from the Chinese company Xiaomi is considered budget-friendly. For example, in Fatherland, this model is sold at a price of 700 yuan (~ 8,000 rubles), but in online stores, which naturally costs more - around 10,000 rubles.

I especially appreciate that Redmi 3 has one main feature - a large battery with extremely compact dimensions and adequate technical characteristics. On the right is that you don’t bother anyone with smartphones at the moment great screens, Top parameters and a “great” battery, and the axis is fast, well-built gadget with a good working hour.

Design, dimensions, core elements

The new device from Xiaomi has current dimensions: 139.3x69.6x8.5 mm, and just 144 grams. Let me guess that in the middle there is a 4100 mAg life cycle! The size of Redmi 3 allows it to be used comfortably by those who value smaller devices like the iPhone 5 / 5S. Lie on your hand with its smooth edges and smooth, smooth surface.



However, there is a significant minus in the design of the gadget. On the right, the back panel is made of metal, and the sides and sides are absolutely smooth. As a result, the device becomes even more slimy. I rarely pay attention to such speeches, since most of the time there are no problems, but with the Redmi 3 I had less time to carefully remove it from the gut, preferably in the valley under the hour of rain or in the subway per year inu pic: once again Xiaomi tried to lick it by hand



There are three color versions: gold, dark gray (black front panel and silver back), light gray (white front panel and silver back). In our test, a gold color model appeared. Over the course of an hour, there were no crash tests, but the professional sense suggests that over the course of time, the fabric will gradually wear off.



On the collar side of the gadget there is a mesh with rhombuses, folded into small dots. It looks somewhat ambiguous: on one side, it’s awkward, on the other hand, it’s a bit rustic. The baby is practically not noticeable with your fingers, but creates a fur on the surface.





There are two plastic inserts on the top and bottom of the gate. The stench will be erased into dust.

The front side is covered with a crease. There is no information about the vibrator. During the period of active “skidding” there were no rips or chips. The oleophobic coating is so soft that it suits me, my finger is easy to grip.

On the top of the front panel there are sensors, a self-camera, and a headphone speaker. The speaker is booming, the sound quality is slightly clear and discreet, the timbre is acceptable. Below the display there are touch buttons (daytime illumination) and an indicator of missed steps (under the “Home” button). The indicator is so fragile and inaccurate that it is of little use.



Below - microUSB and microphone, on top - another microphone, 3.5 mm audio output to headphones, infrared transmission.



On the left there is a metal slot for either two sim cards (micro + nano), or for one sim card (micro) and memory card (microSD).





Right-handed - food button and dial key for adjusting the thickness. It’s not very comfortable to handle them because they smell like a low rise and an overly smooth shape: because I didn’t immediately get the elements wet, or I often got my finger stuck.



On the back side there is a removable camera, sleepers and a flexible speaker.

This device has a screen whose diagonal is 5 inches. Physical size - 62x111 mm, top frame - 13 mm, bottom - 16 mm, right-handed and left-handed - approximately 3.5 mm each. Presence of anti-glare coating.

The dimensions of the Xiaomi Redmi 3 display are HD, 720x1280 pixels, thickness - 293 pixels per inch. IPS OGS matrix. For a diagonal of 5 inches the resolution is completely normal, the pixelation is almost invisible, the picture is clear.

The maximum brightness of a white color is 460 cd/m2, the maximum brightness of a black color is 0.65 cd/m2. Contrast - 710: 1. Additional dimming - in the screenshots below.






I'll look around as much as possible, protect the screen under the covers in a light violet. Acceptable color, good contrast, stable temperature and volume values, excellent sensitivity.

fine-tuning

The one-handed control mode starts: the interface changes to a 4 or 3.5 inch screen.

I'll take a look around

Behavior in the light


battery

This model has a small lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery with a capacity of 4100 mAg. Virobnik does not provide data about autonomy.

The Redmi 3 model saves a lot of energy: during the test period, I only had to charge the device twice. The hour of light on the screen is approximately 5 - 6 years!

In my mode of operation with the device, the gadget functioned for 4 days: one year of calls, constant synchronization with Wi-Fi (every day from 9.00 to 03.00, Twitter, email, Skype, WhatsApp), 4-6 years of LTE.

At maximum intensity, you can achieve 8 years of brightness on the screen at 100% brightness of the matrix. If you are over-actively “tormenting” your smartphone, then take out insurance for a couple of days.

With games, the situation is a little worse: the battery runs out after 7-8 years of non-stop “battle”. The video device “spins” for approximately 15 years (HD).

There are two low energy modes:

  • Standard. Access to the network and to GPS are interchanged
  • Advances. Background activity is mixed

communication capabilities

The device operates with two cards in micro and nano formats. Please support 4G LTE FDD-LTE B1 / B3 / B7. There is Wi-Fi b / g / n, Bluetooth version 4.1, microUSB connector for charging / synchronization, IR transmission. Of course, the device is “friends” with GPS, GLONASS (Qualcomm® IZat ™ Gen8C).

Memory and memory card

The smartphone has 2 GB of RAM LPDDR3 800 MHz. Built-in memory - 16 GB (three more than 10 GB available) + memory card up to 128 GB.

Camera

There are two modules, as simple and practical as any other similar smartphone: the main one (with phase detection autofocus, F2.0 aperture), and the front one (F2.2 aperture, wide cut) of 5 MP.

Despite the low quality of the device, the main camera pleased me: good detail, almost always perfect white balance, sharp frames. Since the optics have an F2.0 aperture, then in addition to the bright shots (I think you will understand that I respect the brightness, highlighting and ISO parameters), you will capture even nicer bokeh.

When using at home, where lightening is not the greatest, remove it carefully, leaving the device with a shade of 1/20 - 1/30. In the evening or at night, shake your phone without breaking a sweat: the window lasts for 1/10 of a second.

When there is insufficient illumination in the minds (let’s call it NOO for short), the picture becomes blurred. This is probably how noise reduction works in Redmi 3. However, to transfer the image to social measures This kind of food is completely sufficient. So, Xiaomi in general is doing well.

Phase autofocus is a definite plus. During the day, the sharpness is induced almost instantly, during the low-level operation it is “fixed”, but the sharpness is similar here Samsung Galaxy S6.

Video is better than FullHD at 30 fps during the day and at 16 fps NUO. Exposure can be adjusted either automatically or manually.

The front camera takes very good pictures, but don’t forget to wipe the lens, otherwise your shots may come out blurry.

Productivity and software platform

The Xiaomi Redmi 3 model operates on a Qualcomm chipset - Snapdragon 616 (MSM8939v2): 64 bits, 28 nm, 8 cores (up to 4x1.7 GHz + 4x1.2 GHz). In this case, the first 4 cores are needed for resource-intensive tasks, and the last 4 cores are needed for simple calculations. The graphics are supported by Adreno 405 supported by DirectX 11.2, OpenCL 1.2 OpenGL ES 3.1.

The smartphone has exactly the same design as the version without the Pro prefix:
The back cover is made of aircraft-grade aluminum with plastic inserts at the top and bottom, behind which there are antennas. A 16-megapixel camera with a Samsung-type matrix and an F/2.0 aperture is installed at the top, replacing the 13-megapixel camera in the original Redmi Note 3. Directly below the camera there is a double-colored frame for more natural photos and a scanner. and fingers, which it takes 0.3 seconds. It seems that the unlocking of the sensor sensor can be done manually in everyday life, except for one thing - if the phone is lying on the table and it needs to be unlocked. In this case you will have to either lift and place your finger, or unlock with a standard PIN code or graphic password. On the lower part of the back cover of the smartphone there is a logo and a speaker grid. The part of the lower insert protrudes slightly lower so that on a flat, hard surface the sound of the speaker is clear and booming.


On the right side of the smartphone is the power button and the volume dial. There is a slot for two SIM cards or one SIM card and a memory card. Everything is held together with a paper clip, just like in the box with the phone.


At the bottom there is a microphone and a connector for microUSB.


At the top of the smartphone is another microphone for noise reduction, a 3.5mm headphone jack and an IR port, which is required for controlling consumer electronics such as TVs, DVD players, projectors, cameras and much more. Turn on the fans.


In front we have a screen, at the bottom of which there are three touch buttons “Menu / Launched add-ons, Home, Back”. Above the display there is a speaker, a proximity and light sensor, as well as a 5-megapixel camera that can be used to take pictures of yourself.


Software security

Varto on board Redmi Note 3 Pro Android system version 5.1 and a proprietary shell from Xiaomi called MIUI 7 version. The system is well balanced, the interface is not lag, everything is very smooth.
It’s already remembered brown supplements: Post office, compass, voice recorder, calendar. Here you can find the use of an antivirus, and much more.






Additions for controlling equipment with an IR port have already been built into the firmware. It's called Mi Remote. And this addition is a full-fledged remote control for any type of equipment. I was able to plug in my grandmother’s old tube TV and everything worked! Below is a list of what you can connect. There are dozens of people behind these buttons various virobniks on select


In the system there is a collection of all sorts of flavors, so the store itself, where you can choose the decoration to suit your taste. In our settings there is also a wealth of all things good. I spent the entire day digging around, keeping my phone on track. So that’s an addition called Security, which you already know about. They have everything from antivirus to traffic control. So, in new versions of the firmware, the function of blocking accessories with fingertips has appeared. With a sing-song, you have understood, everything is very tame and beautiful.










screen

The screen of Redmi Note 3 Pro is 5.5-inch IPS matrix And from a separate building 1920 by 1080. You can’t see any of the pixels, the color reproduction is excellent, but when I look at it it’s great, and the picture doesn’t change colors when it’s dark. The screen has a wide brightness range. In adjustments, you can adjust the color tone and contrast to suit your needs.



productivity

The smartphone has a 6-core Snapdragon 650 processor from Qualcomm, 2 cores of which are Cortex-A72 1.8 GHz, and 4 others are Cortex-A53 1.2 GHz. Adreno 510 with a frequency of 550 MHz is the same as the Snapdragon 650 in Redmi Note 3 Pro. And it still gives excellent results, not only in benchmarks, but also in games at high settings. (Bottom right frames per second)




autonomy

The Varto device has a 4000 mAg lithium-polymer battery. And this makes people know about themselves. The smartphone lives on a single charge with bluetooth turned on, LTE and at high brightness from early morning until evening, sometimes playing unimportant games that require Internet connection and constantly listening to music. I purchased the charger as it came in the box with the smartphone. Fortunately, it fully charges a smartphone in 2 years, since the output power of the charger has a power of 2 Amperes and a voltage of 5 Volts.

sound

The sound from the speaker was less than acceptable. There is some thickness and pressure, some wheezing and a slight bass is evident. It's so good for budget smartphone. On headphones, the sound is high. Equalizers have been introduced (Snapdragon audio +, which I could only enable through the poweramp player and the system equalizer in the sound settings) and presets for branded headphones from Xiaomi. The bass is tight, so as not to wheeze, the mid and low frequencies are perfectly sensitive. Vikoristovav both Beats Studio headphones and Sennheiser CX 3.00 earbuds.




Camera

The rear camera is 15.9 megapixels and has a resolution of 5312 x 2988, it can shoot video in 4K, but this is not transferred to the supplied add-on. Why should you use a Google camera? Its sensitivity (ISO) ranges from 100 to 1600 with an f/2.0 aperture. The camera has the following functions:

  • autofocus
  • serial loan
  • Digital image stabilization
  • Geographical markers
  • recognition of appearance
  • Adjusting white balance, ISO
  • Scene selection mode
  • timer
  • Timelapses
  • Improved video footage (120fps - 720p)
  • Various effects and filters




One thing I can say about it is that during the day I am happy with the camera, but as the evening approaches, the brightness of the picture becomes darker and there is more noise. Attach photographs below.

The front camera is 5 megapixels with a size of 2592 by 1944 for photos and 1920 by 1080 for video, allowing you to take amazing photos and record videos with good clarity. Nothing more can be said about her.

GPS is also very pleasing. Know a lot of satellites and use Glonass



Bluetooth 4.1 LE (LowEnergy) - low-endurance Bluetooth, which can be used without interruption, and also does not consume energy. I’ll give you an example: I’ve always had a Mi Band on my hand and I’ve always connected to Redmi Note 3 Pro and I didn’t notice the difference in energy consumption. So with this module you will stop whining about turning on Bluetooth.

In the pouch

Summaries, I realize that it would be unreasonable to name any disadvantages of a smartphone. At this price, this smartphone outperforms its competitors at the same price. It’s so easy to trim in your hands, it looks even more casual and fashionable, plus there’s always the same thing that you can wear in a lot of other ways. The camera failed slightly during the evening filming. Otherwise, in my opinion, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro smartphone is becoming the smallest smartphone among competitors for price. So trimati, Xiaomi!

Hello everyone. Looks like there's more to come today new smartphone For Xiaomi - Redmi 3 Pro (or, as they call it, Prime). Version 3 / 32GB. In the process, we will compare Redmi 3 Pro with the recent flagship Redmi Note 3 Pro, which I have been using for almost 4 months. There is naturally a significant premium for the productivity of this device: 35,000 antuty points for Redmi 3 Pro and 80,000 points for Redmi Note 3 Pro. Retail price: 40 $. Therefore, we will emphasize the design advantages and handiness of the device (Redmi 3 Pro has a 5" screen, and Redmi Note 3 Pro has a 5.5" display).
Productivity tests were carried out both before the firmware and after the firmware on xiaomi.eu 7.5.1 (And productivity increased to the point of speech. Why xiaomi.eu? - the greatest stability and support).

Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro - PoliPshin Verseniye with a nuclear budget Redmi 3. “Pro” of Versia, I condemned a smooth back of a crush without a “nursing”, a scanner of Vidbitkiv Poltsiv, 3GB operational PAMITI (2 GB of Redmi 3) I 32GB of Was a PAMIT (versus 16GB for Redmi 3).
The added gigabyte of RAM may not have any impact on productivity (all the same lags in games are at maximum, and the axis in the middle still flies, the Snap 616 is more traction in connection with the Adreno 405), and the multitasking axis has grown: more tabs in chrome, more instant access to add-ons without using RAM. It's time to get to know technical characteristics smartphone.

Contents of delivery.

The delivery set includes a microUSB cable, a 5V 2A charger, instructions for English, Warranty card and socket for the SIM card tray.

And, please, the Redmi 3 Pro (Prime) smartphone itself.

The back cover is made of gray metal, and at the bottom there are plastic inserts, under which there are antennas.

Front view of the smartphone.

The 5MP front camera, brightness and proximity sensor are also introduced. And the indicator axis is no longer there. Now you can use the “home” button, which is not very easy.

On the right side, click the power button and the adjustment dial. The power button does not produce a clear clicking sound. I don’t know, but the problem is with my model, or with all parties. Metal frames like back cover. It’s rounded, even on the dock. One to one yak in Redmi Note 3 Pro.

On the left side is a tray for SIM cards and microSD (tray sizes: micro SIM + nano SIM or microSD). Same thing in Redmi Note 3 Pro. Vzagali misery slot sickness theme, doubtful handiness. On 4pda there is information on combining Sim and SD to remove 2 SIM + memory card.

At the bottom there is a microphone and microUSB input. Everything is the same with Redmi Note 3 Pro.

On top there is another microphone for noise reduction, an IR port for controlling home appliances (a report a little later) and a 3.5 mm input for headphones. Chi is not standard desoldering. Cheap inserts do not need to be inserted all the way. KZ ED9 and Xiaomi headphones work as required.

On the front surface and below there are buttons for home, volume and menu without backlighting. An unacceptable moment for me. It’s really hard to spend a night on them, even though they stink and smell like dirt. The devices are not exactly budget-friendly, but they could have provided support. There is also a progress indicator under the home button.

The indicator is up. The color can be adjusted depending on the information.

Operating system and graphical shell.

The smartphone has Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) installed and graphic shell MIUI 7.2.
problem What am I stuck with: the firmware from the store is scorched with a crooked translation and a bunch of bugs. It’s very useful to read the page on 4pda and immediately reflash to the firmware from XIAOMI.EU + TWRP. They destroyed it due to a locked bootloader, and Redmi Note 3 Pro was allowed to be unlocked for 2 more years. Everything is cool here.
Before speaking, I took a video from flashing Redmi 3 Pro. You'll find him as soon as you look around.
ADB driver and firmware from Xiaomi.eu on Google drive:
I’ll also provide a screenshot: “The operation was successfully completed.”


a couple arguments to the point update:
  • A clear Russian translation will appear.
  • Now you will receive regular updates via OTA with corrections.
  • Fixed a bug with Wikipedia in the menu under the “lock screen” section
  • Correction of the jamb due to the impossibility of changing the font.
I am in control of what was and what has become. The version was 7.2.99.99 (firmware from the seller), it became xiaomi.eu 7.5.1.

Productivity also increased significantly (in the hundred it was more than in China).

Screenshots of the graphical shell. Everything runs smoothly, just like on an iPhone :)

The following characteristics are declared: 1280X720 (HD), 1080p video playback, IPS. The screen is gorgeous. So, the screen is not FHD, like in Redmi Note 3 Pro, but like on me, so on 5 "Redmi 3 Pro HD it allowed the same. At 5.5" you still want FHD.
The five-inch Redmi 3 Pro is more compact, especially useful for those who have small knees. Minus 5 ": you can no longer read in a browser without zoom.

Created video. Sound.

Watching the video on a smartphone is nothing short of satisfying. The sound is clean and booming. It's a little quieter in the Redmi Note 3 Pro.

Before speech, you can turn on sound enhancement settings for different headphones.

Protesting the sound in Xiaomi i KZ ED9 headphones. So, let’s turn on the enhanced sound and select “Xiaomi Yourth Edition”, the sound of the Xiaomi Dazzle is steeper, lower than that of the KZ ED9.

Productivity and benchmarks.

Epic Citadel result. Maximum 59.9 frames at high graphics capacity (before flashing it was up to 55 frames per second).

All the love for Antutu 6 showing 37,000 points. 2.5 times less than Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon 650 and Adreno 510).

Information about AIDA 64 programs.

Detection of sensors, equal to WiFi signal through 2 concrete walls (frequency 2.4 GHz) and multi-touch for 10 points.

I know the phone connection, bluetooth, wifi, everything works.

We are testing 4G network. Use wired Cosmos TV (10 Mbit).

The IR port also works via MI Remote. Having tried it on my LG TV. You can change channels, change volume, mute the TV, change signal input settings, etc.

About GPS. After a couple of seconds there were up to 10 satellites, after 4 there were already 11 satellites and the accuracy began to increase. Z vikna concrete booth.

4100mAh battery. I was sick for 2.5 days. I spent the entire hour testing it. WiFi and bluetooth did not communicate at all. If you use vikorystovat for dzvinki, then for a week you will get rid of your head. The battery is here)

Let's take a quick look at the settings.

In video mode, you can record time-lapse and enhanced video, enhanced video only in HD resolution.

The quality of pictures is high. Focus quickly. Slept before the speech, we wait and not even sooner. Let’s not forget that here the photos are squeezed into a box.
We will carry out a quick cleaning of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. Honestly, the photos taken with the Redmi 3 Pro with a 13 MP camera were better than those with the Note 3 Pro, which has a 16 MP camera. Note 3 Pro doesn't seem to convey the same color.

Here you can see how the Note 3 Pro “lightens” the grass.

The color of Redmi 3 Pro is ideally conveyed.

Once again Redmi 3 Pro looks more beautiful.

Focus on the “miracle called the Sun”.

And when there is not enough light, Redmi Note 3 Pro looks more bright.

+ No problems with overheating.
+ Garna autonomy.
+ Camera snapshot ratio.
The fingerprint scanner runs in 19 out of 20 tests.
+ MIUI. Previously, I was an opponent of this shell, but after RN3 Pro everything changed.
+ 5 "" inches. It's easy to stick 5.5 "". There are fewer and fewer five-inch models, although they are more balanced in terms of size and handiness.

90% of problems are caused by the firmware. Required dances with tambourines.
- I had to Google a lot of time to set up a notification. Background activity may be disabled in the Battery & Productivity menu.
- No backlighting of keys.

Refinement of the indicator.
+ - HD allowed Less energy gained. At 5" HD it's still too low, at 5.5" it's not enough.
+ - Average productivity (Snap 616 + Adreno 405). Gamers are a minus, fans of maximum autonomy (Rozmovi, VK, browser) are a plus.

The smartphone was extremely well received. But after the RN3 Pro, “there was no wow effect.” I would say Redmi 3 Pro - the version of Redmi Note 3 Pro has been changed. Single shift - reduced productivity, for one unit I'll cut the cost of the device by $40. Otherwise, the smartphones are identical. If you want to marry productivity - take the RN 3 Pro, if you want autonomy - R3 Pro (live longer for less productivity, depending on the screen).

That's all I have. Below is more video material: report video and instructions on how to flash 7.5.1 + TWRP firmware on xiaomi.eu. Stay tuned.

Report inspection.
