Text: Debashis Sarkar, TOI Tech The successor of the first generation Redmi Note is finally here in India. Back in November 2014, when Xiaomi first launched its 5.5-inch Redmi Note phablet, it was a game changer at Rs 9,999.

The Redmi Note 3 will be offered in two options: 2GB RAM with 16GB ROM at Rs 9,999 and 3GB RAM with 32GB ROM at Rs 11,999. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 reviewRead more
