Xiaomi Redmi 1S review: Stormtrooper

19 September 2014
Xiaomi has been a regular around here lately and one of the last times we heard of them was how they sold a boatload of phones in no time. And it wasn't their finest either. A heavily discounted...

      guys, does it have TV out?

      I have a Redmi but can't figure if it has TV out feature or not. Probably using bluetooth, it might have TV out?

        I received my redmi 1s a couple of days ago, (bought 14th oct flipkart flash sale) the heating issue has come down with the v45 updated but still will keep your palms warm for the winter ;)
        what i didnt like is the flimsy back cover, it squeaks at the touch. perhaps the idea was to force users to buy a back replacement cover! battery backup is just average.
        overall a great package of quality components and a perfect
        hardware for custom ROMs!

        cheers

          i was using micromax unite 2 and lost it so i needed a new phone and bought xiomi redmi 1s when i compare both these mobile xiomi has good music sound effect and camera is much better but only to take photos when it comes to taking video it lags and when i zoom i can see a red dot in middle of screen and many colored pixels which used to happens only in starting versions of Android phones and if im taking video in place where there is no much bright light i can see dark shades flikering on the screen.

          i like to play game but this mobile dissapoints me very much it lags in game.
          both Micromax unite 2 and xiomi have 1gb ram but ram memory space available in xiomi is much less. maximum free ram memory u can get in xiomi is around 340 but in micromax its more than 500 i wonder y xiomi ruined this.if ram was good it would have been much better mobile.overall i would recommend all those people with 6000.rs budget to go fr micromax unite 2 it is the best Android phone u can get at around 6000 rs.i regret buying this phone as waste of my money.
          if xiomi ever reads this review i would like to tell them that there are many small flaws in their phone that is reducing performance of their phone very much. it could have been much better phone.u need to optimize phone first and then put it for sale in market but xiomi is releasing the phone first and then trying to optimize it by releasing new updates for miui rom.i feel like my money is scammed by promissing it as good phone by xiomi while it is not.they say its 1.6Ghz processor speed but works more like processor with 1Ghz speed. never buy this phone never ever simply waste of money

                                      I want to buy redmi 1s.I want to know since the updates are very large(500-600mb),can we download the updates without wifi or mobile data.I mean download through pc and then transfer to mobile and install it.
                                      And does the updates improves heating issue and camera force close issue?
