Xiaomi Redmi 3X
After it made the Redmi 3s official on
Tuesday, Xiaomi apparently felt on a roll and today the Redmi 3X is also a
thing. Frankly, this whole naming mess appears to be getting out of hand and if
the recent Meizu m3s isn't enough to get you confused, various other makers are
also more than happy to provide their own variations on a "3" and and
"s" in the title.
In Xiaomi's defense, the Redmi 3X isn't
exactly new so much as a China Unicom specific version of the Redmi 3s. The
specs on the two versions are virtually identical. Both offer a 5-inch, 720p
display, octa-core Snapdragon 430 SoC and 2 GB of RAM, plus 32 GB of expandable
storage. This, along with the 4,100 mAh battery is all packed inside a full metal
magnesium alloy unibody, measuring 139.3 x 69.6 x 8.5 mm and weighing in at 144
grams.
The camera setup includes a 13 MP main
shooter with an aperture of f/2.0 and phase detection autofocus. There is also
a fingerprint reader in the mix and the typical set of connectivity options,
including LTE, Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS+GLONASS and Bluetooth 4.1. The Xiaomi Redmi 3X
is offered in silver and gold with a retail price of CNY 899 (US$ 136).
