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.

            Too many confusion.

            I don't know Gsmarena review which model ??

            Here in India redmi3s has no fingerprint scanner.

            My devices is only 2 day old I am asking refund now from flipkart.

            Unfortunately first time I feel regret after buying xiaomi.

            Reviews said it has excellent audio with amplifier.

            I said you it has worst audio audio that's why I claim for refund.

            I always miss my all call very low ringtone.

            Watching any video online/offline will give you pain.
            Coz it has worst quality sound with no bass and quite low too.

                  As an average midrange class(not high,higher,highest midrange)with $120 affordable budget price,is very good for students to learn and practice!!Of course,reading gsmArena review is priority too!Justice Rights.

                          Great review. I have this phone and I love it. You did miss one small detail though. The Redmi 3s doesn't have the fingerprint sensor, only the Prime version does.

                            Why can't any western company or big OEMs other than Xiaomi use the 430? This is literally the only manufacturer that I know that uses it.

                                    mike, 10 Oct 2016There you go. You can do a solid review of the best budget ... moreBy my knowledge, they do not share the same camera hardware. Xiaomi redmi 3/pro does have some sony chips or Samsung S5K3L8, Xiaomi redmi 3s/3s prime does have Samsung S5K3L2. Xiaomi redmi 3/pro has faster autofocus, and colors are more realistic than on xiaomi redmi 3s/3s prime (3s has more sautrate colors). They may change this with new software update.

                                      the 2 gb ram and 16gb storage model has fingerprint sensor or only the redmi 3s prime one (3gb ram and 32gb storage)?!
                                      cause i am getting confused with all these redmi 3's.....

They send the phone to UK where it goes through customs and then it gets sent to you. You can also check websites like giztop, some of them have Eu warehouses.
