The local Redmi 3S only supports 4G+2G Dual SIM, which means after April 2017, the dual SIM feature will be inexistent.

Dual SIM use

When two SIM cards are used simultaneously, the primary SIM can support
4G calls and data while the secondary SIM can support 2G calls only.

The China set of Redmi 3S doesn't support 4G+3G, as evident from mi.com/hongmi3s info:

双卡使用说明:
移动卡与联通卡可以任意搭配使用,任意一张卡可选 4G 网络,另一张为 GSM(2G) 网络。
From the above quote, it means that the Redmi 3S only support 4G+2G Dual SIM network combination, which will mean after April 2017, it will literally become a 'Single SIM' phone. However, don't worry as the SIM 2 slot also acts as a micro SD card slot too.

Processor in Redmi 3 is Snapdragon 616.
Which is better? 616 or 430?

Not too sure about it, but after some googling, the SD430 features a better GPU(Adreno 505), while the SD616 features the Adreno 405. Other things wise, SD616 may seem like a better choice, though it seems that SD430 is more power-efficient too.

Used for less than a day, but fingerprint sensor work better than expected for me. It's worth mentioning that the MIUI on the 3S is based on Android 6.0.1.

where did you get it, qoo10 ? Does this hp sim slot allow the use of 1 3G and 1 4G sim card ?

Qoo10 from newstar, customer service could be better.
Currently have 1 M1 data SIM and 1 M'sia SIM in the device, don't have 3G only SIM to test out.

You planning to use data from both SIM card?
