I'm looking for best brand with the following criteria

- Big Display[4.5 inches and more]
- Android only
- Internal Memory of 1 GB and more
- Should run apps like Wechat, watsapp, imo, office suite, pdf viewer and apps without any issues
- Best SAR value

Is MI phones the best? I mean Redmi 3s.

How about the SAR value? It looks like Made in India or China.

From Redmi 3S Specification - Mi India

SAR information:
SAR 1g limit: 1.6W/kg
SAR Value: Head: 0.617W/Kg, Body: 0.429W/Kg (max 15mm distance)

I think same holds for the 3s Prime since only difference between them is that of the ram, internal memory size and fp reader.

So the SAR value in total is 1.03W/kg?

Nope.

Specific absorption rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedi

Is this value acceptable before I place an order to buy?

SAR 1g limit: 1.6W/kg

Also it's not mentioned whether it's US or European standard.

Europe 2.0 W/Kg in 10g of tissue
Australia 1.6 W/Kg in 1g of tissue
US 1.6 W/Kg in 1g of tissue

^^ That is the worst ever unboxing video I have ever seen. So much shaking, bad lighting, mobile already unboxed when the video starts ...

But at a budget of Rs. 8000/- there are way better phones. I would pick Redmi 3s over LFY Flame1 any day.

Redmi 3s seems to be out of stock everytime the sale starts at flipkart. There is an emergency, require a phone at the earliest. Any alternatives?

Lenovo K5 Plus is another option.

One more option I am thinking - how about Samsung J2? It is available for Rs.7590 at flipkart.

And it is always out of stock.

And its a good thing.Let the beta testers test it out and after a month or two,if some major issues are known,you would have dodged a bullet.Always the best strategy for any new product launch.
