Lenovo is out to provide Xiaomi with some major competition for its mid-range offering, the Xiaomi Redmi 3. The Chinese tech company released its offering, the Xiaomi Redmi 3, with much fanfare. Both companies promise customers a bang for their buck with their high quality, mid-range offerings.

In a report with Tech Times, Lenovo has announced its new mid-range offering, the Lenovo Lemon 3. The new smartphone makes a nice addition to the mid-range market, which continues to grow every quarter at an aggressive rate. Many companies have come to put their money into producing more "budget phones," as more consumers tend to favor them over the flagship ones. This is reportedly Samsung's current strategy, but it remains to be seen if the South Korean tech giant will put this into practice.

Both the Lenovo Lemon 3 and Xiaomi Redmi 3 are similar in nature. Both mid-range devices sport a 5-inch display, and have Snapdragon chip. Both devices are packed with a RAM of 2 GB, and an internal storage of 16 GB. Both of the device's cameras are nearly identical, sporting a 13-megapixel rear camera, and a 5-megapixel front camera.

What consumers will find most tantalizing is the price tag these phones will offer, with the Lenovo Lemon 3 priced at $105 and the Xiaomi Redmi 3 priced at $106. While both phones are quite similar, there are, however, some hints of uniqueness to both.

One of the notable differences between the phones is the battery, with the Redmi 3 beating out the Lemon 3 with its massive 4,100 mAh as opposed to the Lemon 3's decently sized 2,750 mAh battery.

The Lemon 3, however, boasts of a better resolution for its device, 1,080x1,920 pixels as opposed to Xiaomi Redmi 3's HD pixel resolution of 1280x720 pixels.

The Xiaomi Redmi 3 is available in more color options, which includes White, Gray, Black, Yellow, Pink, Blue, Gold and Green, GSM Arena reports. The Lenovo Lemon 3 is available in only 2 color options --silver and gold, 

Both phones will initially be available in China, and there is no word yet as to when both companies plan to release the phones to other countries.

No word of a global launch has been said as of yet, so interested consumers have plenty of time to decide which of the two to purchase.

Both phones come with similar specs and pricing, so it will all become a matter of choice as to which would become more of a priority to the potential customer. In short, the Xiaomi Redmi 3 would be a better buy for those who desire a bigger battery, while the Lenovo Lemon 3 would be a better choice for those who want a crisp and clear phone resolution.
