Although Chinese manufacturers have recently achieved considerable success also in the high-end smartphone market, we must not forget that the focus of most of them is to offer mid-range devices (from a technical point of view) at very competitive prices. From this point of view, there is no better example than the Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro, presented a few days ago | Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro officially presented | and already extremely popular in China. Among other things, we remind you that it is already in pre-order | Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro available at pre-order |.
Taking a look at the competition, however, we note how in the last few days the "nemesis" of the Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro has come. We are talking about the Meizu M3 Note that, at a very low cost, offers technical characteristics of a much higher level than the low one. But how does it behave, at least on paper, against Redmi 3 Pro? Let's find out!
