This phone comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 chipset, 2GB RAM and 16GB expandable internal memory, and packs in a large 4,100mAh battery.
The device features a 13MP main camera and a 5MP front shooter. It measures 139.3 x 69.6 x 8.5mm and weighs 144g.
The Redmi 3 will go on sale in China starting tomorrow on Mi.com and Tmall.
Xiaomi sold 61 million smartphones in 2014 but kept mum on 2015 numbers possibly because it may have undershot its 80 million target which had been revised from an initial 100 million. Xiaomi has already started selling its smartphones in Africa with the hope that it is cheap enough to entice Africans.
