A perk of having a Xiaomi device is that even its oldest phones still receive updates till this day. At least, until now. The Chinese manufacturer made an announcement on their forums stating 7 Redmi devices will cease to receive any form of software support.

The folks at Mi Malaysia have made it official with the announcement of the Xiaomi Redmi 3S. Available on 24 September 2016 via Lazada and their distributor ERA International Network, the Redmi 3S will be on pre-order from 17 September with 2 variants, the 3GB RAM / 32GB storage version coming in at RM699 while the 2GB RAM / 16GB storage version is priced at RM599. Featuring a 4100 mAh battery, fingerprint sensor and metal body, you can also head to their Facebook page for a chance to win a mystery prize.

Entering the every crowding affordable market is the new Xiaomi Redmi 3s, the update to their earlier Redmi 3. The overall design is about the same, but it now has a better processor (Snapdragon 430) and a fingerprint scanner – all from only CNY 699 (~RM 434).
