10. Any other info that you want to share
The phone will be for my mom, good internal memory is a must as she gets thousands of watsapps everyday.
good batter back up. And she plays a lot of online games like teen patti, rummy, candy crush etc
Upgrading from Xperia C, the main issue in that which I am facing is internal memory storage issue.

Need urgent advice, Hopefully will be placing the order today only from flipkart or amazon.
So guys please reply soon.
And do let me know how is Samsung Galaxy On8 which is exclusively available on flipkart only I guess.
And is Redmi Note 3 a good option.
Confused among the two

Get Redmi 3s Prime for a slightly better battery life compared to Redmi Note 3.

+1 to Redmi 3s prime but sadly you have to wait till 12th oct sale (I think) as it is out of stock on Flipkart.. Even I am hoping it comes in stock tomorrow with that Rs500 off deal. :)

But Redmi 3S prime has inferior display when compared to Note 3.
And what about On8? Is it not worth it at all?

That's why 3s will have slightly better battery life.

On8 is worth 8-9k max.

You mean that Note 3 is better than On8?
Kindly confirm, if yes then I will place the order in a couple of minutes as the offer on amazon will last till 12 midnight only

Note 3 was costing me 9.5k after deducting the cashback which I will be getting on my HDFC card.
But sadly it is not available anymore on amazon. :(

Guys have ordered Samsung Galaxy On8 from flipkart for 13.4k and got a 32GB class 10 card free with it as well.
Really wanted to go for Redmi but it was out of stock everywhere and there was an urgent requirement of phone.
