Price last checked: 11 Dec 2018. Confirm current price before buying.
Battery life is the headline feature here, thanks to a 4100 mAh cell packed into a body that's just 8.5mm thick. Running on a Snapdragon 430 octa-core chipset paired with Adreno 505 graphics and 2GB of RAM, this isn't a phone built for heavy multitasking, but it handles everyday use on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with MIUI 8 on top without much fuss. The 5-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 pixels, fine for browsing and messaging though not sharp by today's standards.
On the camera side, you get a 13MP rear sensor with phase detection autofocus and LED flash, plus a 5MP front camera for basic selfies and video calls. Storage sits at 16GB internally, but there's a microSD slot supporting up to 256GB if you need more room for photos and apps.
Xiaomi Redmi 3s price in Malaysia starts from RM935. It comes in Gold, Dark Gray and Silver, and includes dual SIM support with LTE connectivity for those who want a budget-friendly daily driver.
