  • Hello Koustoub
    Can you tell in detail about the non removable battery in Redmi? Can it be replaced after its expiry? expecting your valuable suggestions...
    Thank you

  • HI Koustubh,

    Few queries:
    1. Does Redmi Note 3 has a separate slot for Memory card and separate slots for dual sim?
    2. Does it flaunts Gorilla Glass ?
    3. Battery - removable or non-removable? (for hard reset)

    Pl let us knw.
    Thnx

    • Hi Kiran,

      1. It has hybrid slot, means at one time you can either use second sim or the microSD card.
      2. No, it doesn't have Gorilla Glass protection on the screen.
      3. It has non-removable battery.

      Hope it helps.

      • Thanks Rahul.

        I am planning by a phone sub 11000/-.
        I have shortlisted Lenovo k4 Note and Redmi Note 3.
        Which one should I go for and what better offerings it has over other ?

        • Hi Kiran,

          Go with Redmi Note 3, it has better build quality and faster performance but if you consume more multimedia you should go with the K4 Note, it has great sound quality.
