Xiaomi Redmi 3S review: Game of Iterations

10 October 2016
Xiaomi Redmi 3S is the last of the third generation Redmis, soon to be overshadowed by the Redmi 4 premiere. Some may say the Redmi 3S is an obsolete addition to the series, but yet Xiaomi managed to position it as one of the best offers on the market right now.

      Since I have been using this phone from 1 month,
      I have not even faced a single problem.
      The very best part of this phone is its #BatteryLife,
      Which is literally Awesome!

              I compare the image of building from Nokia N8 and Redmi 3s. The difference is noticeable.
              It's impressive how Xiaomi have bring the level of Compact Camera image quality to this price segment.

                      Indian version of redmi 3s has not a fingerprint scanner, so consider this before make decision....

                        AnonD-81610, 15 Oct 2016I like this review. The only concern I have with it is the ... moreKeep in mind J2 body shouts "I'm cheap plastic phone", what not is the case for the Xiaomi 3s, which looks like quite modern and stylish. :) And I'm not even talking about hardware comparison.

                          The unhelpfulness of the customer service center people here in India made me choose other budget phone.
                          But, undoubtedly it is like a value for money phone (provided we get good support in case any issues crop up) with a number of features.
                          I have heard several users complain about heating issues with other redmi versions. Does this model by redmi have any heating issues?

                            no competition but I can just laugh off when my neighbor show off his "samsung" J1 ace which cost 1.355k and then denied every single thing I said about xiaomi. maybe I should buy one just to ridicule them. it's cheap anyway

                              regs, 16 Oct 2016Cons: No scratch resistant front glass According to Jer... moreyes, they don't use any branded scratch resistant glass it seems. but still use some sort of glass protection which is maybe just slightly inferior than gorilla glass

                                  According to JerryRigEverything review, Redmi 3 Pro which is identical to 3S, except its upgrades, has same glass as Galaxy S7 and iPhone 7. Start scratching at level 6 or Mohs scale.

                                    I like this review. The only concern I have with it is the omission of Scamsung Galaxy J5 (old one) in the conclusion. They only present to you the J2 which is really cheap, but with that low performance I would stay away from it and the uber expensive J7. They stayed away from J5 which in my country costs only 20€ more and for that money you get only a little bit of worse CPU + a little less RAM and battery, but you get a great SAMOLED and a "brand" that has a warranty in case something goes wrong. I would still buy this phone, but would seriously also consider Scamsung's Galaxy J5.

                                      the phone is awesome but I'm having some problem, while using the google app the phone just hangs then automatically reboots which is very frustrating. This only happens with the google app.
