Redmi 1S not worth buying


Redmi 1s should be Avoided 

( Please Spread this to aware others too)



Redmi 1s is not good phone to have 

Sometimes when we get something that we desire very much , we consider ourselves as luckiest person. However, what if that most desirable thing turns out to be the worst nightmare ? Fact is, It happens. 

Recent example is the latest offering from Xiaomi, Redmi1s. People enchanted by marketing strategy of Xiaomi are dying to have one.The flash sales are going out of stock in few seconds and till now more than 1 lakh handsets have been sold by Xiaomi and there is no dampening in the demand.However, the situation is totally reverse for the ones who are holding the handset.Once who were thinking themselves as lucky are now feeling as most unfortunate ones. They are even wishing that they should have failed in the flash sale.

Redmi 1s is not a good phone to have and it should be avoided.Its hardware and specifications are very good on paper but performance really sucks.

Cons of Redmi 1s( according to the real users )

  1. Too HOT to handle - and heats up like hell. Yes here, I am not talking about its hot looks but about its overheating.It heats so much that some users are advising to iron cloths with it or heat the water for shower.On very simple usage it becomes super hot, not warm but really hot.Almost every user is complaining the same thing.If it keeps on heating like this there are pretty chances that its hardware will damage soon. 
  2. Poor battery backup  - Battery backup of Redmi 1s is very poor and the battery drains very fast.
  3. Hangs up  - It hangs up frequently, even while receiving the calls.
  4. Phone Restrats - Even small games and applications not run smoothly on it and it crashes.It is unable to take even the light load and restarts.
  5. Very less RAM - Only about 300 MB of RAM is available for user.Due to this it is not Not good for Multitasking. If some apps are opened at a time it crashes.Apps like video player,music player,camera,keyboard etc keep on crashing.
  6. Quite heavy phone  -  It is quite heavy phone, about 158 grams.
Some people have also claimed that the call drop rate is also very high.One user has even said that Xiaomi is cheating with the specification too. They are claiming that the processor is MSM8228 but the fact is that the processor is MSM8226 which is lower version.He has checked it on various benchmarks and the results are same.



Conclusion 

Most of the people having this phone are wishing to return it. It is having lots of problems and at present not worth buying.Only pros of Redmi 1S are its Price,Specifications & Camera,which appears to be best in class.

    1. Dear, You may be right...but as you may know not everyone is technically sound. Phones are used by non-technical persons too who just want to use it without any problem. Rooting may be the solution but why it is required ? Why company does not provide it as such that no rooting may be required ?

      Moreover, as not everyone knows the rooting , If you can help with rooting , it will be extremely helpful the readers.

      Thanks
