Price last checked: 6 Jan 2019. Confirm current price before buying.
Xiaomi Redmi 3 price in Malaysia starts from RM596, putting it firmly in budget territory. Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 616 octa-core chipset paired with Adreno 405 graphics and 2GB RAM, enough for everyday apps and light multitasking rather than heavy gaming. The 5-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 resolution, sharp enough for a display this size, and 16GB of onboard storage can be stretched to 128GB via the second SIM slot if you need more room.
The 13MP rear camera comes with phase-detection autofocus and an LED flash, while the 5MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. Battery life is where this phone stands out: a 4100 mAh cell is well above what most phones in this price bracket offered at launch, so all-day use shouldn't be a problem.
It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box, supports dual SIM with LTE, and includes GPS with GLONASS and BDS for more reliable location tracking.
