Infocus Vision 3 Gaming Review
I played Asphalt 8 in high quality mode, game clearly lagged. Then in medium visual quality mode the game play was better, smooth but I did feel it lagging, though game was playable. For best results play in low visual quality mode.
This MediaTek quad core, in fact any quad core device is good for normal usage not for gaming users.
Infocus Vision 3 Camera Review
Rear Camera : 13MP + 5MP (dual cameras), Wide angle, auto focus, LED flash
Front Camera : 8MP, Portrait mode
Video Recording : FHD resolution
There are dual cameras on the rear a 13MP + 5MP one is a wide angle camera. In camera app you get a portrait mode and a wide angle mode. The dual cameras does not work like a dual camera should, you do not get the kind of bokeh that one would expect from dual cameras.
In fact I shot using normal mode and then with portrait mode and the results were the same, no difference. You need to be very close to subject to get the bokeh plus very important thing for portrait mode to work it needs a face without the face it does not work. Anyway the quality was not that great.
Front camera is 8MP and it shoots average selfies. Handset can shoot FHD videos and the video quality is pretty good, however focusing is slow. Camera quality is average. There are two modes PIP and Multi, PIP makes use of front and rear camera and Multi gives you 4 option to shoot and then combines the 4 images into one – check sample below.
Camera Rating : 3.7 out of 5

Other features
Sound is loud and clear, no issues with networks. The Wi-Fi I feel is a bit weak works well when you are close to the router. Finger print sensor is decently fast and accurate. This handset is running Smile UX UI and there are some pretty good themes you can download and install.

So does this handset compete with Redmi smartphones, well to some extent, however there are certain things that is not that great like just 3 sensors, Mediatek processor and average camera considering it comes with dual camera setup.
