Xiaomi Redmi 3

The Xiaomi Redmi 3 is a very decent budget Android phone, but it isn’t intended for a UK audience and doesn’t come with Google Play installed out of the box, so we wouldn’t recommend it for those not familiar with Android. It has a plasticky but decent build, with good performance for the money.

Product details

  • 35dB deep noise cancellation. Allowing you to enjoy a world with less background noise: The earbuds adopt the dual active noise cancellation technology with feedback and feed-forward microphones. They effectively cancel ambient noise and reduce excess noise in the ear canal. Noise cancellation can be as deep as 35dB*.
  • AI scene judgement knows your ears better: The AI algorithm judges the scene based on ambient noise level and usage habits. Adjust the noise cancellation depth for different environments.
  • Three-microphone call noise cancellation. Can be heard clearly in noisy environments: The three microphones, together with the call noise cancellation algorithm enabled through the neural network model, can accurately pick up people's voices while effectively reducing background ambient noises. This allows for clear conversations without interference in noisy environments.
  • Dual transparency mode. Hear ambient sounds without having to take out the earbuds: When transparency mode is turned on, you can still hear ambient sounds without having to take out the earbuds. Switch to enhance voice mode for clearer voice. You can have a relaxed conversation with your friend with your earphones on.
  • 9 mm composite vibrating diaphragm coil. Recovers more sound details: 9 mm composite vibrating diaphragm coil provides you with an excellent audio experience. After being tuned by a professional from Xiaomi’s internal sound lab, a high-pitched sound is clear and not distorted while a low-pitched sound is rich and pure with more refined sound quality.
