  6. Note 3 supports LTE-Advanced (4G+) i.e Cat. 7 with 300 Mbit/s whereas 3S has Cat. 4 with 150 Mbit/s version. (Both Airtel and Jio are going to launch LTE+ soon.)

SO after reading above fair comparison you easily decide which one is better for you. we personally recommend Redmi note 3 if you are planning to buy Redmi 3s Prime.  If you plan Redmi 3s low budget mode which comes in 7000/- then ok. It is good. We are sharing some users view

As an overall package, the Redmi Note 3 is still the better option, provided you are not uncomfortable with the size of the device (5.5 inch display) and don’t mind spending an additional 2-3k over the Redmi 3S. It has a better processor + GPU combo (SD650+Adreno 510), compared to the SD430 and Adreno 505 in the Redmi 3S. The display is of a better resolution in the Note 3, i.e 1920×1080 pixels, compared to the1280x720 pixel display in the Redmi 3S. The Redmi 3S has a slight advantage in the battery department, though (4100mah vs 4000mah in the RN3), and this should reflect in the battery performance as well, since the 3S has a lower resolution display and less powerful GPU. The Note 3 has the better primary camera (16MP vs 13MP).
So, to sum it up, if you don’t mind the size and price of the Redmi Note 3, go for it. Nonetheless, if you really need a compact device that is ideal for single-handed use, pick the Redmi 3S. Hope this helped.

Using Redmi Note 3 since 2 months. It heats a bit during charging & heavy usage , that’s acceptable as every phone does. However it does feel more due to metal back. (Science).No lag, SD650 is said to be the Mid range flagship & 2/3GB RAM is doing equally good in handling task fluidly. Camera performance is average, as images are not stiched perfectly (post processing) & that’s a kind of sensor issues plus s/w. Overall performance is acceptable.(You can have a look at new Redmi 3s Prime, if you are looking for Redmi Note 3 2GB/16GB varaint.)
