Hello freinds I am using Redmi 1s since its launch its my primary Driver till now. and I have face no Major issues. Good thing I never went to service centre for any issues. No Hardware Complaints.
So I am here to discuss whether this phone is good evn after 1.5 years of launch in india **NOTE - This phone is discontinued by Xiaomi in india. But it is available on in Refurbished form from other website like Quikr, OLX, Overcart etc.*
So Now its available for around 4k in india.
So lets find out whether it is worth to buy at this Price
*Pros*
MiUi v7 - offers great features and flexibility
Rooting and flashing custom ROM is very Simple, Easy and Quick
Many Custom Roms are available if you want to try New ROMS- Means you can try Marshmallo or lollipop even if Xiaomi offically did not update
Great Camera- One of the best among 8k priced phone
Decent battery life
Snapdargon 400 is great at 4000 price bracket
Display is Good and have great pixel density at 312 PPI
Dual Sim
decent battery life
Smooth touch experience
*Cons*
Slow performance if heating increase due to throttling of CPU
officially still on Kitkat(but you get an option to install lollipop Through Custom ROMS)
Sound output is Average
*Conclusion*
This still great phone at this price point specially for those who want to try custom roms and loves Photography. Due to flexibility of custom rom and you will get better developer support this is value for money phone
and you can easily overcome from any cons of the phone.
and Last I am still looking for better alternative for my this phone and I am still stuck on this Phone because I didnot find a true upgrade .
