Looks good to me. How does this compare to something like a samsung galaxy a5? better or worse?

Very slightly cheaper at geekbuying, but I've never used them so can't comment as a retailer.

Really tempted by this as been on look out for last few days and seen all the Xiaomi deals posted on here.

I've also been looking at this phone as I like the 5" size can anyone comment on the differences between this and the Mi5 apart from small variation in price. Their range is somewhat confusing now for a layman like me!!!

Use GSMarena website to compare.
Mi5 is a lot more high end compared to this.

It was a real toss-up for me between this and the Mi4C as they are both excellent phones for the money but have their pros and cons. I really wanted a 1080p screen and better CPU/GPU so I went for the Mi4C, but a lot of specs on the Redmi 3S are better (Band 20, microSD support, bigger battery).
The Redmi 4 has just been released (the "Prime/Pro" version sounds superb) but it may be a while before they are available in stock in the normal Chinese retail outlets.

What version of android does this have? If I ordered would I have pay duties, vat ? Looks like a good phone I m tempted.

Using it to post this comment. Had it around a month now from ebay for £150 from a UK seller. Cannot fault this phone, for multitasking and games etc it's superb. One thing I'd say is that the snapdragon 430 is a tiny bit on the slower side, but if you don't mind being delayed one or two milliseconds (which, come on, no one minds) then you're all good!
P. S. Camera is very average, probably worse thing here, but gets job done

Am using one too. Camera is set to medium quality by default, you can set to high from camera menu. Doesn't make a huge amount of difference but I definitely think it improved it a little.
Overall this phone does nothing badly. Good find OP

As this is the global edition will it mean that play store will be installed?
