iPhone 6s vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 3: How About an Affordable Alternative to the Apple Product?

The iPhone 6s is a one of a kind phone in terms of its physical appearance. However, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is particularly challenging Apple with its similar looking metal unibody phone. The Chinese phone manufacturer is very good at this.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and iPhone 6s are almost identical in appearance. Both devices are elegant looking and consist of a metal body. The round edges are also prominent on both phones, and looking at it from afar, an iPhone will be hardly distinguishable from a Xiaomi Redmi Note.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 has a fingerprint scanner at the back panel and is available in three colors, namely silver, gray and gold. The iPhone 6s, on the other hand, carries the uniquely designed antenna pattern on its back panel. A fingerprint scanner is built right on the home button at the front of the iPhone device, and offers four colors for its users, such as gold, silver, rose gold and gray, CNET reported.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 offers a 5.5-inch display that has a 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution with a 403 ppi density.  The iPhone 6s has a 4.7-inch screen, displaying at 750 x 1334 resolution with a 326 ppi density.

iPhone 6s is equipped with an A9 chip, which is a dual core, plus a PowerVR GT7600 GPU. It is still more powerful than Xiaomi Redmi Note 3's octa-core Mediatek Helio X10 chipset paired with a PowerVR G6200 GPU, GSMArena reported.

There is a very slight difference between the two smartphones when it comes to RAM.  The iPhone has 2GB while Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 has 2/3GB, depending on the variant.  Both phones do not have an external storage.

iPhone's 12 MP camera takes good images while Xiaomi brags about its 13 MP snapper.

iPhone 6s 16GB is priced at $199 and includes a two-year contract, while it is $140 for a 16GB Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, unlocked.
