Xiaomi has taken a different approach for the Indian market this year as it launched three smartphones catering to three different price segments, form factor as well as consumer needs. The most popular of the lot has been the Redmi Note 3 and at the time of writing this, it is arguably the best smartphone to buy under Rs 15, 000
In the photography department Xiaomi offers a 13MP rear camera on the Redmi 3S Prime featuring an f/2.0 aperture lens, phase detection autofocus and an LED flash.
I’m pleasantly surprised by the device. The design is excellent, the hardware is very well balanced and even the performance feels great for a budget smartphone. The hero feature is definitely the massive battery, something which almost every smartphone user would love and appreciate. The camera and the UI are the only let downs but you are paying less than ten grand, so even that’s acceptable. The Redmi 3S Prime is once again an excellent smartphone from Xiaomi and is also the best smartphone to buy under a budget of Rs. 10, 000.
Priced at Rs 8, 999 it comes very close to the base variant of the Redmi Note 3, but Xiaomi has positioned the Redmi series as a device for users who don’t require a lot of power at their disposal. There is also the Redmi 3S which ditches the fingerprint scanner and has 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM priced at Rs 6, 999, which is again, great value for money. The Redmi 3S Prime has definitely earned our seal of approval.
