Xiaomi introduced the Redmi Note 3 in November 2015, and could be bought by U.S. customers from international e-retailers like Honor Buy, Geek Buying and Gear Best. The device with top-of-the-shelf configurations and stunning design is now being sold at just $214.99.

The original price of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 used to be $320.91 on Geek Buying.

The Note 3 is now available in hues of gray, gold and silver. Xiaomi is now offering this mid-range handset in six different variants, based on the storage capacity, RAM configuration and color.

As for specifications, the Redmi Note 3 features a 5.5-inch display, packed with 1,920 x 1,080 pixels FHD resolution. Under the hood, a 64-bit octa-core (Helio X10) processor, running at 2.0 GHz, powers the handset. Variants of the device come backed by either 2GB or 3GB of RAM.

The available native storage choices are 16GB and 32GB. However, there is no microSD card slot to facilitate memory expansion. Apart from the standard connectivity options, this device also supports 4G LTE.

Speaking of its camera configuration, the Redmi Note 3 comes with a 13-megapixel rear-facing sensor, in addition to a 5-megapixel front-facing selfie-shooter. The highlight of the device is the phenomenal battery unit. Xiaomi has housed a whopping 4,000 mAh cell onboard, which will apparently be able to give 2 to 3 days of stand-by battery life. Furthermore, the Redmi Note 3 supports dual-SIM.

On the software front, Android 5.0 Lollipop-based MIUI 7 runs the handset.

Interested buyers should note the device ships with a foreign charger. However, Geek Buying says depending on the place the order originated from, a relevant adapter would be included as part of the device bundle.
