Xiaomi Redmi 3S vs Redmi 3 Mini preview
Xiaomi has taken a cue from Elephone and is now releasing new models about as fast as we can get them reviewed. The next new model up is the Redmi 3S aka Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro.
The Redmi 3 Mini is one of our favorite releases of the year so far. Great battery life, combined with slick looks, all components in working order, and a smooth Android experience.
However, we often found ourselves missing the great Touch-ID found on it’s bigger brother, Note 3 and Note 3 Pro. Xiaomi has now remedied that situation and is adding Touch-ID to the Redmi 3S / Redmi 3 Pro.
In addition, they’re including 3GB of RAM as opposed to 2GB and 32GB as opposed to 16GB.
False rumors
- 3S will come with 1080P (Redmi 3S will have 720P)
- 3S will be 3000mAh instead of 4000mAh (Redmi 3S will have 4000mAh battery)
- 3S will not have TF SD expansion capability (Redmi 3S can expand via TF SD)
