Its been almost 2 months, I have been using Xiaomi Redmi 3s Prime( Dark Grey) . I purchases it from flipkart on its 2nd Flash sale. It costs Rs. 8999/-. For simplicity, its the successor of Redmi Note 3. So talking about its quick specs it includes:
# 5-inch 720p HD IPS display
# Dual sim( 4G+ 4G) (VoLTE) with Hybrid SIM slot
# Adreno 505 GPU
# Android Marshmallow( with MIUI 8 update)
# 1.4GHz Octa Core Snapdragon 430 processor
# 32 GB internal( expandable SD storage upto128GB)
# 3GB RAM
# 13MP Rear Camera + 5MP Front Camera
# Fingerprint sensor
# 4100 mAh battery
Now talking about its performance, lets first talk about its UI.
Originally it comes with MIUI 7( Android M) which updates to MIUI 8. The interface is quite simple. The UI is quite interactive and as we all know Mi is known for its theme engine. Thousands of Themes are being there in its Theme engine, you can download it and customize as per your way. The screen resolution is quite sharp. A 720p display is as good as a Full HD.
Coming to its Gaming performance, I played N.O.V.A 3, Dead Trigger 2, Assasins Creed-Pirates, Overkill 3, Modern Combat, Mortal Kombat, Modern Strike etc. And seriously you wont beleive, not a single game lagged for a single time. The Adreno GPU does its job nicely. This 9000/- budget phone would atleast not disappoint you in gaming experience.
Now the Camera. The 13MP rear camera works absolutely well. Captures perfect and stable shots. The colors and exposure are quite good. Works a little less effective in low lighting and indoor conditions but works the best in Outdoor conditions. Its shoots full 1080p HD videos. The front camera is perfect for the selfie.Sometimes its auto focus lags. Undoubtedly, according to price you are getting more than the requirements.
Its comes with a very quick fingerprint sensor.
( N.B.-I just dont like that I cant use fingerprint sensor as a shutter button to click pics as in Redmi Note 3.)
Overall its a perfect phone under 10k. Xiaomi is giving a high end quality to you for a good pocket friendly budget.
It works pretty well and I prefer you all to buy this if you can possibly do so. It has nice and elegant design, Nice metallic body, Premium looks. And yes it gives you 5GB cloud storage for FREE too.
I would prefer Redmi 3s prime instead of Redmi Note 3 because I am uncomfartable using a big screen phone.
So have a good day. Enjoy the device experience atleast once if you get a chance to try your hands on this piece.
