Xiaomi's Indian adventure is off to a flyer. While the previously released Mi 3 was an absolute revelation in the Indian handset market, and is still churning out more and more users, the MIUI was nothing less. And now the craze is surrounding the new Redmi 1S handset from the company.
The Redmi 1S has now arrived as direct rival to the Motorola-made Moto E that still boasts such great sales numbers via Flipkart. The handset has the same price range, but with even better specs compared to anything in the same range.
Going through the specs of the handset once more, launched at Rs. 5,999, the Redmi 1S sports a 4.7-inch 720p IPS LCD display with a layer of Dragontrail glass. It comes powered by a 1.6GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor coupled with 1GB RAM. The phone runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with Xiaomi's MIUI layer on top.
Talking about the photography aspect of it, the smartphone features an 8MP rear shooter and a 1.6MP front facing camera as well. On the storage front, it uses 8GB of internal storage which can further be expanded up to 64GB via microSD card.
It is a dual SIM smartphone with other connectivity options like 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and USB support. It is fueled by a 2000mAh battery. Hence, more than decent specs for the amount of money you pay for it.
But numbers alone surely cannot make up a handset and there should be more in the mix. Hence we take a look at the top 5 features for the Xiaomi Redmi 1S.
