Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon 650 3g/32gb

Update 3 

• Shop Just call sorry no more kenzo, just kate, i said never mind i will get it.  

Update 2:  Walking around shops in the 3rd Jan 2017  

1. PC Depot sell Kate Version at RM799  (Thorus) 
2. Found one shop with Kenzo according to model number, (open box).   Claims Malaysian Set, say will order gray for me, without any obligation will call once arrive.    
3. Lelong Vendors selling from RM539 2g/16gb,  RM7083g/32gb 

Update ! : 

1.     Seems that there is 2 International Versions (3  including the original china set) of the Redmi Note 3,  Snapdragon (Kenzo) or Special Edition (Kate), which is mainly for Taiwan – more channels  You can sport the difference Kenzo Model Number on Box ending with 116 or 112  /  Stable Rom start with LHO or MHO,  Kate is 116 / MHR  

2.     Kate is 2mm (some say 2.5mm) longer then Kenzo, therefor case for Kenzo will not fit Kate.  Other then that,  it’s the same specs,  However Kate case & tempered glass is a rarity,  on lelong there is only 2 type of case,(Lenuo open face, and flip case) from 2 shop. – cky / gmh81   Click here     Dont buy the wrong case!

3.     Thorus Distributor (the Malaysian official Distributor) is selling Special Edition Kate Version now, (Jan 1^st 2017).  My Wife RMN3 is Kenzo Version (purchase a few months back) 

4.     MiStore at Lazada the official Mi Store in Malaysia,  RMN3 3g/32gb does not show up,  RMN3 2g/16 is listed without price and as (In Stock Soon)

This definitely put a hiccup in my plans, Xiaomi What is going on? And Mi Max price is going to drop on the 4th Jan according to Mi Malaysia Facebook,  This is very confusing.

Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon 650 3g/32gb 

Looks like the Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon Edition with 3g/32gb ram is my finalist for hand phone preplacement.  Overall Practicality (practically the same OS and ease of transfer) and to a certain amount of budgeting lead me to this choice. 

When selecting a new phone as replacement, where possible one would wish for an upgrade especially in terms of ease of use, and within a certain budget

RMN3 Snapdragon capabilities from the reviews I read n the youtube video I saw just blew the competition away, I certainly do not want to spend more money for a less capable phone which has higher specs as there was one phone with more core, clocking higher processor speed and 33% extra memory getting a lower antutu score.  Go Figure.   

I suppose it’s a combination of specification and operating system, that makes any phone stand out in terms of performance.
