However, initially, the 5.5" phablet will be available only in the China market.

For the first time ever, Xiaomi has increased the battery capacity of the latest device to a powerful 4000mAh. As per Tech Crunch, Redmi Note 3 is powered by an Helio X10 chip from MediaTek. The chip with 8.65 mm thickness and 164g weight is slightly heavier than the one used in Redmi Note 2. The camera features are similar as its predecessors.

The sensor of fingerprint scanner will help Redmi Note 3 users to unlock their phones without using passcodes within 0.3 seconds.
