Consumers may be astonished at the retail price of
the Redmi, but they are in for a bigger surprise when Xiaomi
launches its flagship smartphone, Mi-3 on March 7 in Singapore.
The Chinese phone maker made the announcement today at a media
event. Consumers can purchase the Mi-3 from its
website at a retail price of S$419 (inclusive of GST
and without line contract). The three telcos will also be selling
the Mi-3.
Xiaomi unveiled the Mi-3 in China last September. It comes with
either a NVIDIA Tegra 4 quad-core 1.8GHz processor or a Qualcomm
Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974AB) quad-core 2.3GHz processor, and is
available in 16GB and 64GB versions.
For Singapore, Xiaomi will be bringing in the Snapdragon variant with
an internal storage capacity of 16GB. Unfortunately, the
Mi-3 does not
support 4G LTE connectivity. To find out how the Mi-3
