This days , the view of searching a mobile device for something unique & best in performance  has apparently changed . This change includes to become independent  & show something that others dont have . Let's get  straight to the point , this change has occurred due to new brand "Xiaomi" & its model " Redmi 1s"

After successful launching of Mi3 , Xiaomi Launched a budget device with maximum features in it . There are obviously many reviews out there , but here you get got the things with full detail 

We will see the 

1] GOOD QUALITIES

-  4.7" IPS 720p capacitive touchscreen with 312pi pixel density; AGC Dragontrail glass. 

With this it is certain to have a great look , with 4.7'' screen including capacitive touch ,312pi pixel density & loaded with AGC Dragontail glass for protection . The first specification itself makes you to have look on this.

-  It includes Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with MIUI platform v5 

Taking about the OS , it has Android Jelly Bean with MIUI platform . featuring with MIUI it has ability to customize & Theme your phone as you wish . Its unique because AOSP Rom rarely include this feature .

-  1.6 GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU , 1 GB of RAM , Adreno 305 GPU , Qualcomm Snapdragon 400

  Well ,well ,well watching this can water your mouth , but its true !! , It features with 1.6 GHz quad -core Cortex a7 processor powered with 1GB of RAM , integrated with Adreno 305 GPU , Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset . This all makes your phone smooth as fast as a racing car  . This deals with ability to play High END games without any lags , & smooth performance of the device.

-  8 MP camera with LED flash, 1080p video capture , 1.6 MP front-facing camera; 720p video recording

Awesome !!! you know when its about taking pictures , 8 MegaPixel can really make a difference in your camera quality . It nurtures crystal clear images including 1080 p High Density ( HD ) Video Recording . It has 1.6 MP front Camera with still 720p video recording . Its loaded with features !!! Still more to come !!

-  8 GB buit in Memory 

This feature helps to makes device independent & dont need sdacrd . 8GB is quite good capacity which device holds internally  . But if you still want to increase your storage , then its powered till support 32 GB of storage using a Microsd Card !!

-  Dual Sim Device .

It's basic & must have feature in all smart phone . 

-  2,000 MAh Battery 

When its 2,000 MAh Battery , phone battery backup will be good to watch . It will even give extra support for gamers & internet users.

Ending the good qualities , gradually its time to see the 

2] BAD QUALITIES

-   No KitKat ( Android 4.4.4 ) still available officially

Oops !! The latest Android version is just not available for this device . !! We will hope it will come soon .

- Thick & Heavy

Device fails to be flat , sleek & handy . 

- Drains battery Faster 

According to personal review Battery drains quickly after using for long time, which not expected from this device .

No doubt about that, it's Xiaomi's take on the older-gen Moto G, add or take. The Redmi 1S is currently on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean while the Moto G enjoys KitKat.

The Xiaomi Redmi 1S puts a simple finish to what's a rather plain design to begin with. Nothing wrong with the looks, we find it a sensible if understated styling. It's not impressively compact but then again, the Moto G is clearly thicker and gets away with it.

Also the reflective display and far from compact body got us preparing for a letdown but the Redmi 1S did well to turn that around and finish on a high.

The Xiaomi Redmi 1S would've been just a face in the Snapdragon 400 crowd was it not for the screen resolution and, of course, the price. It comes across as reasonably snappy and has very good imaging skills - but we can think of at least a dozen others that match that description.

 Yet, it's probably the cheapest Snapdragon 400-powered smartphone you can get and one that delivers adequately or above expectations on most key performance aspects.

The thing to consider is that it's currently running Jelly Bean but is scheduled to get the latest KitKat-based MIUI 6.0 soon enough.

The way we see it, it's only the guaranteed OS updates and reputation where the Redmi 1S falls short. Things you cannot quite put a price on against a price no one can possibly beat.
