One month after launching its flagship smartphone at MWC 2016 trade fair, Xiaomi introduces yet another Android device, the Redmi 3 Pro. Although the name might seem impressive at first glance, it’s really an affordable device that comes with more-than-decent specs.

According to PhoneRadar, Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro will be available for purchase in China on April 6, and customers won’t have to pay more than 900 yuan ($140) for one.

Even if Xiaomi decides to keep this a China affair, we’re pretty sure that many local retailers will provide international shipping to those who really want to order the Redmi 3 Pro. Naturally, the prices will be slightly higher than the one suggested by Xiaomi. We’re also pretty sure that the Redmi 3 Pro will most likely make its debut in India in the coming weeks.

Moving on to specs, the Redmi 3 Pro sports a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720p) resolution. Also, the handset packs a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with phase detection autofocus, f/2.0 aperture, LED flash, and video recording, as well as a secondary 5-megapixel camera on the front.

Massive battery and hybrid dual-SIM support

Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro packs a powerful 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 processor, coupled with an Adreno 405 graphics processing unit and 3GB of RAM. It also includes 32GB of storage, which can be expanded up to 128GB via microSD card slot.

Connectivity-wise, the smartphone features 4G LTE, hybrid dual-SIM support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, microUSB 2.0, and GPS with AGPS.

The Redmi 3 Pro will ship with MIUI 7 based on Android Lollipop operating system, but let’s hope the Chinese company will provide a Marshmallow upgrade soon after launch.

Another major selling point of the Redmi 3 Pro is the massive 4,100 mAh battery inside, which should provide more-than-decent usage time. A fingerprint scanner is available on the backside too.
