Key Points:
Class leading battery life, ergonomic design and compact form factor, excellent performance in this budget, average camera performance.
Opinion:
The Xiaomi Redmi 3S Prime is the best smartphone to buy under Rs.10, 000. While Xiaomi may want to highlight the fact that it is assembled in India, or that it performs better than its competition, this phone's battery life is the best thing about it(4050 mAh battery). The Redmi 3S Prime can easily last a full day for even the most heavy-duty user, while regular and light users can expect anything over a day and a half, or more. The camera is acceptable for this price range, while the performance is best in class as well.
Experience about phone:
The Xiaomi Redmi 3S proved to be quite an ideal smartphone for anyone looking for a compact smartphone that is affordable but doesn't cut corners in a big way. Right from performance on browsing, social media apps to gaming, the phone never felt slow or out of breath. The battery performance really stands out, with almost 2 days of battery life for moderate users, you really can't ask for more from a smartphone in this price range. The device feels well made in terms of build quality and finish and its easy to use and manage. On the software side, Xiaomi’s MIUI on top of Android Marshmallow makes for a good combination in terms of customization and unique features that MIUI brings to the table. I will recommend the 3GB RAM+ 32GB storage(Prime) version, as it has that extra head-room for more apps and smoother multitasking, but you can also go for 2GB RAM+ 32GB storage if you are a moderate user or gamer. The camera is perhaps the only area where we expected more from Xiaomi. It clicks good pictures in daylight but isn't able to hold-on to the picture quality in low-light means mostly at night. But then, one can't have it all, in one phone according to this budget.
