Note 3 16gb selling $232 same seller.

Personal preference bah, some may prefer cheaper price, expandable storage n removable battery.

Dunno about the removable battery leh. Xiaomi China and SG not keen to sell the battery, want to push sales of Redmi Note 2 finish then sell all the Note 3. Better hoot from Taobao now if not next time end up with no battery. Even if 2 years later, the phone still good to use as portable storage!

Battery still makes sense. Lithium Polymer still a better choice in terms of durability. Usually after we use 2 years sell to 2nd dealer, they will sell to under developed nations, at least less e-waste unlike those non-removable battery phones, very fast end up as e-waste.

By the way those debating between Redmi Note 2 and 3,Redmi Note 3 performance gain is almost nothing, only better temps by 1-2 degrees. In terms of battery life people claim +1.5hrs more SOT then Redmi Note 2 but take note, this is without extensive use of fingerprint reader, so if factor in fingerprint reader, am expecting a bit of drastic drop in battery life.

Lithtium ION battery capacity drop very fast one, the more you charge battery capacity also drop. Also bad point about ION is that it doesn't matter if you charge or not, even if don't charge, battery capacity deplete still, so overall battery capacity deplete faster than polymer overtime. This is so as lithium ion is cheaper than lithium polymer and energy density is lesser.

Can not be just +1.5 hours. Battery capacity increase from 3020mA to 4000mA. Ihis is more then 25% defferent.

Only down side is Note 3 is yet to get Global rom version.

Anyway, price for Redmi note 2 has dropped. Xiaomi.sg noe selling as a bundle at S$249.99 including 10000mA power bank and 2 soft toys.

The memory management for this phone sucks. Tried out a display set at challenger. With only the stock apps, I could only free 650mb out of 2gb memory.
