Xiaomi presented to the sophisticated public the next generation of Mi Note. This line is the most variable of all: the first generation focused on audionachinku and version with a bamboo back cover, the second – a flexible OLED-panel and a casing of glass. Mi Note 3 boasts a dual main camera with an optical zoom of 2x and portrait mode, as well as a splash-proof case made of glass and aluminum (stainless steel, according to Xiaomi, causing problems in production). In general, the smartphone is positioned by the manufacturer as an improved version of the Mi6 with the same advantages (high performance, advanced camera, modern design), but with an enlarged up to 5.5 “screen.

The main difference between Mi Note 3 and Mi6 in terms of technical specifications is the Snapdragon 660 chipset. This sub-flagship processor with a frequency of up to 2.2 GHz offers a high level of performance and most advantages of the Snapdragon 835 model, including fast LTE connection and QuickCharge charging. In addition, Mi Note 3 offers a 16-megapixel front camera and a face recognition system (implemented at the software level). Supports modern standards for wired and wireless connections, including NFC.
