New processor and hardware that stands out in the middle class

Xiaomi continues to develop its middle class with new mobile phones that pay special attention to the balance of quality and price. Redmi Note 13 is the standout in this segment, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for more phones. Redmi Turbo 3 could be the opening of a very productive family.

Starting with the display, the new phone joins the trend of 6.67-inch AMOLED panels and 120 Hz refresh rate, but with two details not usually found in the mid-range: Up to 2,400 nits maximum brightness Vision and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection for HDR10+ or ​​Dolby content.

Gen 2, 2022. Also mobile offers Up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB UFS 4.0 storage. No one can say this is middle class, quite the opposite.

Xiaomi is abandoning filler cameras in favor of a dual camera module. Prime offers 50 megapixel sensor with mechanical OIS and electronic EIS stabilizationanother element not common in the midrange. The wide-angle camera is based on an 8-megapixel sensor. And to top it off, the Redmi Turbo 3 packs a 20-megapixel front camera.

It’s time to review the battery: it offers the usual 5,000 mAh, but 90W super fast charging (and charger included in the box). With the optical fingerprint sensor under the screen, stereo speakers, NFC and even an infrared emitter, the Redmi Note 3 comes quite complete.
