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...

The phone is latest in configuration and far better than any other phones in 6k range.
Latest in OS, highest in internal memory good in camera.........

Disadvantage: Phones heats up very soon even for 2 minutes call time or any kind of phone usage.

          Hey guys, I am little confused about choosing b/w Redmi 1S and Android One phones.
          I am familiar with stock android interface (1st Gen Nexus 7 user) and it's performance. As far Redmi 1S is concerned I need honest (not on the basis of hardware specs on the box, but realtime) review from Raedmi 1S owners who are using this phone for some time. I saw so much bad reviews on flipkart today on Redmi 1S that I almost cancelled the shipment. Help me guys.

                        I have already one month with this phone, it still works fine and the screen is amazing, the only bug is sometimes some browser loaded web-pages crush, but Opera browser works fine; i have around 200-250 mb ram free, but is not slowing down yet...is not working with the Nokia headsets, but works good with a BT Plantronics.

                                        Why doesn't GSMArena review some o/t other "popular" chinese phones like the Jiayu and iOcean?
