There are few devices that can take on the iPhone 6s in terms of design and style, but Chinese manufacturers are increasingly creating metal-bodied devices which might just be able to. One of them is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. Here is how these two smartphones fare in a faceoff.

In terms of design, the Redmi Note 3 is quite similar to its competitor and comes with a metal unibody. CNET described the premium look as a pleasant surprise. The edges of the device are rounded and it has a fingerprint scanner on its back panel. The Redmi Note 3 comes in three colors: silver, gray and gold. The iPhone 6s, on the other hand, also has a metal body, but it has distinctive antenna lines on its rear panel and its fingerprint scanner is incorporated into the front home button. The device has Apple's iconic design and comes in gold, silver, rose gold and gray.

The Redmi Note 3 has an LCD screen measuring 5.5 inches, a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels and density of 403 pixels per inch, while the iPhone 6s has an IPS LCD screen measuring 4.7 inches, a resolution of 750 x 1334 pixels and density of 326 pixels per inch. Size-wise, the Redmi Note 3 clearly takes the cake.
