The Redmi 1s is the second Xiaomi smartphone to go on sale in India. Read on for a quick review in pictures.
Sep 03 2014 By Ketaki BhojnagarwalaFor a relatively young company, Xiaomi`s maiden offering in India, the Mi 3 (review), got off to a remarkably good start. Through Xiaomi`s flash sale model, the company managed to sell over 95.000 units of its flagship over a period of six weeks. Xiaomi has had its share of hiccups though, and wasn`t able to keep up with the increasing demand for the Mi 3, which sold out in mere seconds, leaving many potential buyers disheartened and frustrated.
Read Full ReviewCompany has given all best features in Redme 1s, but it has not thought of his own GUI which consumes more RAM and due that it has become worst phone in my view.nnI am facing 1 big issue in it.nthe apps gets auto close. may be this is due to less RAM available.nThe MUI GUI consumes lot of memory, which leaves very less for other apps.nI tried Asphalt game, some time it automatically gets close.nthis has happen with even the default Music player.nnInitially I thought its a defective peace, but later after seeing same issue in my colleagues phone, then I realized that REDME 1s phone is not that good.nnEither company has to find solution for it, or it will just disappoint all Redme 1s user, which is really not good. nnThe built quality, screen display, viewing angle etc all are good. but due to above mention problem it has disappointed.
Specifications are superb but the performance is not. The phone is hanging every now and then mainly while calling, and some time getting switched off automatically while trying to call.
