A series of low-cost smartphones of the Xiaomi Redmi 3 line has 4 different modifications, among which the model with the “s” index is one of the most advanced.
External decoration
Outwardly, the phone looks like representatives of an older class — a metal case, a fingerprint scanner on the back and an infrared port built into the upper edge are another confirmation of this. The only thing missing is a fashionable 2.5D glass, but even without it the smartphone looks stylish, and the function of protecting the screen from scratches is assigned to a metal frame around its front part.
Internal hardware
The model uses the well-proven Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor, which has 8 cores with a clock frequency of 1.4 GHz. In conjunction with it, the Adreno 505 graphics accelerator works, thanks to which even the most demanding games run at maximum graphics settings. For example, when playing World of Tanks or Asphalt 8, the frame rate rarely drops below 40 fps. At the same time, in synthetic tests, the model lacks stars from the sky: in AnTuTu it receives about 42K points, and in Geekbench 3 — about 3K.
Customization
The indisputable advantage of Xiaomi Redmi 3s is the responsive MIUI 7 shell (upgradable to version 8), which stands out among others with the widest possibilities in interface customization. You can customize everything in it, without exception, right up to choosing the colour of the notification indicator for various kinds of notifications. It is convenient to do this with one hand, which has a 5-inch diagonal IPS-screen with excellent viewing angles.
Photo and video
The main 13-megapixel camera of the device is equipped with a lens with a focal length of 30 mm (35 mm equivalent), the maximum aperture value of which is equal to f / 2.0. It focuses quickly and does a good job of taking photos and videos with enough light. The resolution of the front module is 5 MP.
Pride
The greatest pride of the model is the built-in battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh, which provides 2-3 days of active work of the gadget. Well, another significant plus is the low cost of the smartphone, which automatically makes Xiaomi Redmi 3s one of the most attractive low-cost options for purchase.
