    Had this for a day now.

    The good: excellent specs, very responsive, huge screen, great price.

    The bad: It could just have been my phone (got it through eBay) but mine was loaded with some wacky hack of MIUI, which is itself a hack of Android. Spent a couple hours installing stock MIUI, then figuring out how to install Google services, since MIUI deliberately removes them.

    Overall, I'm very happy with this phone. Would probably prefer stock Android over MIUI, but that's a small price to pay for such a great, cheap phone.

                            Xiaomi redmi 1s review

                            Pros
                            -----
                            1. Good display, viewing angles r ok, sharp display, natural color reproduction, display brightness is low when compared to moto g, colors looks little bit paled than moto g

                            2. Very good camera, images and video recorder both r very good, images r sharp with natural color reproduction, almost no noise in both images n video recording

                            3. Miui is good it is custamisable n has lot lot of options, no lag while switching from apps, smooth ui

                            4. Processing is fast no lag observed

                            5. Audio from 3.5 mm audio jack is really good, very clear n sharp audio and good bass

                            6. High graphics games can also playable but a minor lag appearing

                            7. Excellent price of 7k

                            Cons
                            -----
                            1. signal reception issues, continuously dropping the signal both in 2g n 3g, if it is a softwear issues then it can be easyly fixable but if it is a hardware issue then it is impossible to fix

                            2. Battery is average, its draining fast

                            3. Speaker sound is too low, not much clear

                            4. No kitkat update

                            5. Navigation buttons r capacitive but they wouldnt light up, in night it is bit difficult to use

                            6. U cant move or install apps on to the sd card, another worst part is photos n videos u have taken with camera u cant save them into sd card they saves in internal memory u cant transfer them to sd card, these two sd card issues can be fixable via update but the question is will xiaomi provides the update to fix them

                            7. Asphalt 8 showing some lag while playing in higher graphics mode

                            8. No head phones provided but it does supporting samsung head phones

                            9. Its just gorilla glass 2 protection where as moto g has gorilla glass 3, it is prefered to use scratch gaurd for redmi 1s

                            10. It is not water resistent(moto g is water resisten)

                            11. Service centers only exists in metro cities, if it rises any problem then u hv to go to metro city near to u, dont know how service ppl respond, dont know spare parts available or not

                            12. Due to poor signal reception it always searches for network so its battery drains fast n it emmits more radiation

                                  I have had mine for a week. Delivery from Xiaomi was delayed by unspecified problems at their German warehouse.
                                  Given the price of this phone, its construction quality is extremely high, and together with its weight makes the phone seem very solid in your hand.
                                  The MIUI 5 overlay on Android 4.3 works without any delays or hesitation and feels very much like the Apple IOS.
                                  Screen quality is excellent, being what Apple would call 'retina' display.
                                  Under Settings you have a wide choice of options to play with; I have fitted mine with two SIMs (one for UK calls and one for overseas calls) and a 16Gb class 10 microsdhc card.
                                  In my view call quality is great - based on calls within the UK and to India.
                                  Connection to my home wireless network was easy and allows me to download apps like Skype and Roamer.
                                  After two charges, the battery is on course to last over 3 days in standby mode.
                                  Overall, I cannot fault this phone and hope it will last me several years.
