Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Android smartphone. Announced 2016, January. Features 3G, 5.5″ IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 16 MP camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth.
Introduction
The Redmi series has always been Xiaomi's bread and butter. Combining good design, features, and reasonable performance at a very attractive price, the Redmi series has redefined for many what a good budget smartphone should be like.
The latest in the series is the Redmi Note 3. The phone is the successor to last year's Redmi Note 2 and improves upon several key aspects, such as a metal body, fingerprint sensor, brand new chipset, and a larger battery. It's especially improved over the original Redmi Note Prime, which would be a big deal for people in India who never got the Redmi Note 2.
Today, the company is launching the Redmi Note 3 in India. And even though we already have the smartphone reviewed, it was based on a Mediatek chipset. The new release comes with Snapdragon 650 and since we've had the chance to play with it for the past few days, we'd gladly share our impressions.

Please don't confuse people, get the fact right:
Redmi Note 3 priced at CNY 899
Redmi Note 3 Pro priced at CNY 999
There is CNY 100 difference !!!
I assume you get things messed up with Redmi 3, priced at CNY 699
Here is the FACT from the official Xiaomi website if you want to check:
