As far as battery life is concern, Redmi Note 3 packs a 690Wh/L high-density 4050mAh battery. Company says, due to innovative internal design, Redmi Note 3 weighs just 164g and measures 8.65mm despite the massive battery. The device also supports 5V/2A Qualcomm Quick Charge technology, charging up to 50% in one hour and taking only three hours for a full charge.
