If you are looking for the device with the perfect combination of technical specifications, design quality, performance and price, I strongly advise you to opt for the best-selling Xiaomi smartphone from its official launch, the Redmi Note 3. Equipped with a Pro variant, this device was defined by IDC as the smartphone with the largest number of absolute online sales in the history of the Indian market with over 1,75 million units shipped in just 5 months.
Although in the last day it was presented his new generation, the Redmi Note 3 represents the right balance between the top and bottom of the Xiaomi devices, still possessing all the regular cards today to become a smartphone that can not disappoint you. For the pinnacles, the only constraint seems to be the Android base that stays on the 5.1.1 Lollipop version but after today it will not be so again, as it is officially started work to bring Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow along with the MIUI 8 on this device.
Of course, it will not be Android 7.0 Nougat but it is still an important step forward for a Xiaomi device that does not belong to the top range, as there are very few devices that can receive an update of the Android base and most are for precisely flagship (or former). However, there is a small consideration that many of you will definitely not like and more specifically for owners of the MediaTek processor version. In fact, currently only the version Pro (to say, that with the Snapdragon 650) will be upgraded to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, while the fate of the version with Helio X10 remains uncertain. Not updating this latest release could also create many disagreements as it is the best-selling version of the two, especially in the Asian continent, as well as it may induce users to no longer buy a device with MediaTek processor ( for example, Redmi Pro).
We believe that Xiaomi will not make a mistake of this kind, especially because it cares a lot about the Indian market and all its Mi Fans, therefore it will do everything to bring Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow also on the version with MediaTek processor. However, if this were not the case, the fault will certainly not be with the company but rather with the processor supplier itself, since it does not usually release the source codes of its processors, thereby preventing both the availability of custom ROMs and the porting of a higher version of Android (which Qualcomm does not do and this is the result).
