Xiaomi launches redmi Note 3 Pro in India and abandons the suffix … – LesMobiles.com

Three months after China, redmi Note 3 landed in India. A delay due to the Made in India’s political course, but also good as the smartphone is a little better equipped than the one sold in China.

Xiaomi moved to India last year but no question of importing his creations. All smartphones it sells are manufactured locally. This is obviously one of the reasons the décallages with China, sytématiquement served first. But wait sometimes good. This is the case for redmi Note 3. Launched in November in the Middle Kingdom, it happens in India today with a few surprises.

Snapdragon 650 and 16 megapixel camera

They are two in number. The first is that the Helio X10 was replaced by the 650 Snapdragon from Qualcomm. The second has two cores less than the first level CPU but catches up with a more solid architecture (two Cortex-A72) and Adreno 510 for graphics. Second change. Camera from 13 to 16 megapixels and earns a bonus, a phase detection autofocus

The rest is preserved, but it is not bad as it includes a full HD 5.5-inch, 2 or 3GB of RAM combined with 16 or 32GB of storage, a 5 megapixel webcam, a fingerprint reader and a battery of 4050 mAh. All this, taken in a metal frame and animated by MIUI 7 with Android 5.1 Lollipop to stand.

The more pampered Indians than the Chinese? Not necessarily …

redmi Note 3 therefore appears to be a better deal in India than it is in China. At least that’s what one might think at first. The reality is somewhat different. Both improvements mentioned above are also available in China, but with a different model: the redmi Note 3 Pro. The pricing is also similar: around € 150 for the 16GB version and € 180 for double

The Indians have therefore not truly entitled to preferential treatment but Xiaomi their savings. least the intermediate stage of redmi Chinese Note 3 which is simply a redmi Note 2.5, and that’s a good thing.

Moody’s notes the chips away from China – Les Echos

This is a warning to Beijing. The rating agency Moody’s Investors Service has decided on Wednesday not to touch the A3 rating it assigns to China but, at the same time it changed its opinion on the future evolution of the economy from the country. And brought China’s outlook from “stable” to “negative”, which actually means that unless change could very well be led to lower its rating if, within six months, she perceived a slowdown in reforms needed sustainable growth and sound fiscal management.

“Without serious and effective reforms, the growth of China’s GDP would slow more significantly, a heavy debt impeding business investment and changing demographics are showing increasingly unfavorable. The public debt would increase much more clearly than we currently believe it. “

The weight of direct debt and indirect

the Moody’s decision to change the outlook of its rating is also based on the likely evolution of the stock of indirect public debt: that of public enterprises, local and regional authorities and large public banks such as the Agricultural Bank of China, China Development Bank and Export-Import Bank of China.

a concern shared with other rating agencies. If Moody’s (noting China AA) evaluates the Chinese government debt at 40.6% of GDP at end 2015, Standard & amp; Poor’s estimated last July that the corporate debt already represented 160% of GDP in 2014, twice the level of that of the United States. And already more than 120% in 2013.

For its part Fitch (which assigns A + China) believes that the risks to Chinese banks by accelerating credit growth are worrisome. “The reduction of half a point in the reserve requirement ratio Effective Tuesday and credit record growth in January, might suggest that the authorities change their policy towards a more growth fueled by credit, “Fitch analysts indicate. And warn that increasing the “outstanding debt will only delay, not treat, an expected rise in bad debts”

Changes.: Beijing wants?

the evolution of China’s public finances is not the only concern of Moody’s also points to the recent evolution of foreign exchange reserves of the country, used to defend the yuan. They were down $ 762 billion (702 billion euros) in the space of a year and a half, leading experts of the rating agency to question the aims of the policy by Beijing.

“Interventions in the stock and foreign exchange markets over the past year suggests that the economic and financial stability is also an objective but considerable uncertainties remain on the priorities of the authorities” says Moody’s
