If you’ve missed your chance at picking up the Xiaomi Redmi 3S or Redmi 3S Prime in the first two flash sales, you will have another opportunity to do so once again, today at 12 PM.

You only have to look back at the last two flash sales to see the popularity of these ultra-affordable smartphones from Xiaomi. In the first sale held two weeks ago, the Redmi 3S Prime sold out in just eight minutes, and in the second, which also saw the availability of the Redmi 3S, stocks lasted till only around 5 PM that evening.

If you’re wondering about which device is better suited to your needs, it is worth noting that most specifications and features are the same between the two versions, including the huge 4,100 mAh battery that is found with both. As far as differences go, the cheaper Redmi 3S comes with 16 GB of storage and 2 GB of RAM, while the Redmi 3S Prime offers 32 GB of internal storage and 3 GB of RAM, and also provides an additional layer of security with a fingerprint scanner.
