The Mi 2015817 comes with same design on the rear side like the current Xiaomi Redmi 3 confirming that its the Redmi 3 variant.

The Mi 2015810 TENAA listing comes with the same 5-inch TFT display having 1280 × 720 pixel resolution and is powered by a 1.5GHz octa-core processor. Other specifications are same as the Mi 2015817 we discussed above. The only difference is of the battery capacity which is 4000mAh battery instead of the 3000 mAh found in the Mi 2015817. So we can’t really predict now if Xiaomi is going to launch some new variants of the Redmi 3 smartphone with a battery size bump of 900 mAh to the existing Redmi 3 that has a 4100 mAh battery and a fingerprint scanner that is not currently available in the Redmi 3.

To recall, the Redmi 3 was launched in January with features like a metal unibody chassis with a 5-inch 720p display. It will have 2GB of RAM and 16 GB of inbuilt storage capacity. The device will be powered by the 1.7GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 processor and Adreno 405 GPU. It will feature a 13-megapixel rear camera with 5-megapixel front facing camera. It will have a 4100 mAh battery and will run on Android 5 lollipop OS based MIUI out of the box.

What do you think? Will Xiaomi launch another variant of the Xiaomi Redmi 3 or not?

Stay tuned for more news and updates.
