Xiaomi's Latest Gaming Smartphone: Unkilled Review and Hands-On Experience

Unkilled is a shooter game that was recently released, and Xiaomi has announced its latest gaming smartphone, the Redmi 3S, which will be available in two variants. The 2GB RAM model comes with 16GB of storage, priced at ₹7,000, while the 3GB RAM variant with 32GB of internal storage and a fingerprint scanner is priced at ₹9,000. We got our hands on the Redmi 3S to put it through its paces and see how well it performs in various games.

We started by testing Unkilled, which was one of the first games we played. As expected, the game ran smoothly without any lag or issues. The graphics were crisp, and the handling was fine, with no noticeable lag or slowdowns. We also noticed that the screen quality was good, although it's a 720p display. However, the viewing angles were excellent, making it a great option for gaming.

Next, we moved on to Mortal Kombat X, another popular fighting game. As you can see from our footage, the game ran seamlessly without any issues or lag. The graphics were smooth, and the gameplay was responsive. We also noticed that the screen quality was good, despite being a 720p display.

Asphalt 8: Airborne was our next test, which proved to be a bit more challenging for the Redmi 3S. Although we kept the graphics settings to their highest setting, we did notice some minor frame drops at times when we were performing stunts and drifting. However, these drop frames didn't affect the overall gaming experience significantly.

We also checked the temperatures of the device during gameplay, which revealed that they remained relatively stable. The front camera temperature was around 41°C, while the back camera temperature was a bit lower, around 39°C. While the device did get slightly warmer during Asphalt 8, it's still within acceptable limits for most users.

Overall, our hands-on experience with the Redmi 3S was very positive. Despite having a Snapdragon 430 SOC, which is considered mid-range by today's standards, the device managed to handle demanding games like Unkilled and Mortal Kombat X without any issues. The only minor drawback we noticed was some frame drops during Asphalt 8 at high graphics settings.

For gaming enthusiasts on a tight budget, the Redmi 3S is definitely worth considering. Although it may not be the most powerful device in terms of hardware, its performance and display quality make it a great option for casual gamers. With prices starting from ₹7,000, this phone offers great value for money, making it an excellent choice for those looking to play games without breaking the bank.

We'll be publishing a full review of the Redmi 3S soon, where we'll delve deeper into its features and performance.

aplicar and new Gotham I'll have lengthen negative Schiller tragic and see which playing this game fine let's continue let's see fussing rockets so its handling this one fine a half a sec looks far some rockets so I see no lag over there so it's hanging the graphics fine I have to sail at far one more rocket so this is Mortal Kombat X and as you can see it's playing this game without any issues no lag whatsoever and also in terms of screen quality though it's just a 720p screen as you can see the screen quality is good but good viewing angles evidencing so continuing so as you can see it's playing this game without any issues so you have a great time playing this model combat X on this redmi 3 s so let's move out of this and move to other games now so this is asphalt 8 and you're playing the ice land level and I've kept the graphics to the highest setting and as you can see I'm using this on-screen steering and I do notice minor frame drops at this highest graphics settings as you can see but the game is very much playable I have to say doing some multiple takedowns so yes the game is very much playable but yeah our in certain situations I did notice some framedrops at times at this highest graphics edit so I guess if you want the smoothest gameplay you can set it to medium graphics setting instead of this highest graphics edit but as you can see you anon this high graphics ending that's very much play them only here and turns when you do the drift it's dropping some frames so I would say at this highest graphic settings even asphalt 8 is playable but yeah at this high graphic settings I am noticing some drop frames at times but again considering the budget oriented price of this device I would say it's decent and you shouldn't have this drop frame issues if you keep it at what do you say the medium graphics settings so it's been about 12 minutes since you are gaming so let's look at the temperatures also now and it's yeah it's about 40 degrees 41 degree Celsius that we are seeing on the screen here any other your piece it's about forty point five let's look at the back and the back is about 39 42 14 II almost 40 I did touch so yes the bat feels warm to touch it's touching about 40 degrees Celsius but it's not very hot so this is lower 3 and let's see how it handles this game so far so good after six it's time little bit fine and let's move rather than the timer know what we find that's a good thing so you should have a good experience made lower three on this one actually spring very well I would notice no lag on just game as you can see we finish this level of Lola 3 also and let's check the temperatures again now that's about the same about 41 degrees Celsius that we are seeing on the screen and on the back let's see that is about 39 so it heated a lot more with asphalt 8 I would say here it's just about 38 4 yeah 39 is not even touching 40 39 so what do I feel about the gaming performance with this redmi 3 as I have to say the gaming performance was actually really good on this device considering that it has a Snapdragon 430 SOC it played the most of the high-end games also without any issues apart from asphalt 8 where I did notice some minor frame drops at times when I was actually drift rain but even Mortal Kombat X and even Noah 3 played without any frame drops so even for gaming I feel it's a very good phone considering the budget oriented price the 2 gigabyte RAM model for this redmi 3 s's available for just another 7000 rupees and I feel if you are in a very tight budget and you do quite a bit of gaming then this redmi 3 s is also a good option for gaming I'll also be posting the full in depth review for this redmi 3 s prime very soon so if you have any other particular questions regarding
