There has been stiff competition in the sub-Rs. 10, 000 segment, and majority of smartphones launched lately in this price band have great specifications. This year in particular has been a good one for Indian consumers looking for budget phones, as companies are racing to offer more for less. Xiaomi, which has had a great run in the Indian smartphone market with the well-received redmi note 3 and mibmaz, is keeping up the pace with a new smartphone priced below Rs. 10, 000. The redmi 3s and 3s prime are the company's latest attempts to strengthen its position in the segment, and they both also tout the 'Made in India' label. Since its debut in India two years ago, Xiaomi has managed to earn a reputation for offering great smartphone hardware at affordable prices, and these new models are trying to stay true to that formula. Both the Redmi 3S variants sport all-metal bodies and pack large batteries.
