With the competition between smartphone manufacturers getting tougher by the day, it comes to no surprise that brands would update the internals of devices that have only been out in the market for a couple of months. The Xiaomi Redmi 3 has only been in the market since the start of the year, but with the recent influx of new handsets within its price range, the Chinese brand ups its game by releasing the Xiaomi Redmi 3S.
