The Xiaomi Redmi 3S Prime is priced at Rs 8,999, and at that outlay, competes with the likes of the newly-launched 3GB RAM version of the Lenovo K5 Plus. The Redmi 3S regular model is priced at Rs 6,999, and goes up against the Coolpad Note 3 lite. The new Lenovo K5 Plus definitely looks strong on paper, but we can’t comment on its capabilities as we haven’t reviewed it yet. As we mentioned earlier, Xiaomi’s phones are no longer purchases you can buy without considering other options, and the Redmi 3S also highlights the same situation… as the camera performance could have been a shade better. That’s pretty much the only niggle we have with it though, as otherwise, the Redmi 3S Prime worked very well for us – with its superb battery life being the big, bright, feather in its cap. Between the two Redmi 3S variants, the Prime model is obviously the one we’d recommend, unless you’re on a very tight budget, but you can’t really go wrong with either one as your daily driver.
