Redmi 1s user I need your feedback. How is the phone performance & battery back for day to day use except hardcore gaming?
My use would be calling, net surfing almost 4 hrs daily be it Wi-Fi or 3g. General apps like tapatalk, few social apps like what's app hike.. Sometimes if bored small games like subway surfers, temple run, traffic racer etc. while travelling.
I'm Lumia 520 user & only con as off now is battery backup. I'll get Lumia 730 after nice price drop & till then planning to get redmi 1s.

Btw does heavy games like asphalt 8 runs smoothly on it??

Phone performance doesn't matters if it can't save required amount of RAM. Multi-tasking is seriously restricted by the low available RAM.

Guys with Redmi, can you please report your temps from CPUZ after using your phone for 1 hour with wifi ON but not heavy applications, i.e. no games. Anything else would be fine. And do use camera as much as you can.

I'm asking for this as my Redmi is heating to 39° very fast. The idle temp is also around 33°-34°.

Anyone ?

BTW what is the free available ram?

Around 150-250.

 

[sandynator]

Quite confused whether to book it or no... Btw have got buyer for Lumia 520 at my price too..

Around 150-250.

Saiyan goku got 450 mb free after booting. so i guess. at this price its perfectly fine.

Got my hands on a friend's Redmi 1S for few mins only. Initial impression: awesome screen. But RAM even though is 1GB, phone is not too smooth in multitasking. Chrome + Music Player + Whatsapp + Gmail = Slowness.

two of my friends who had received the redmi 1s last thursday have experienced display blackouts, call connection/disconnection issues. even the reviews in flipkart reveal the users' frustration. let's hope the future buyers know what they are spending their money on.

I am getting 150 - 200 mb free ram only in redmi

 

[sandynator]

How do you guys check free ram & other system settings?

Not even a single app running in background all ram hungry apps are hibernated by greenify still this

 

[Adityag]

is it safe to use with lumia 520? does it provide 1A output or 2A only? or is Mi 5200 mAh fine? any idea? 520's battery rated amperage is only 0.75A.

Mi 5200 mAh Power Bank at rs 799 and nokia dc-16 2200mah at rs939. little worried what to choose!

Sorry for the late reply, but I think its completely safe to use with Lumia 520 as the powerbank will only provide that much output which your phone can handle.
And Xiaomi powerbank is much better VFM than Nokia dc-16 according to me.
One thing to note is that the usb cable that came with it is not so good as its only 2 weeks I have used it and the usb connector on the cable already became loose.

WTF ? any fix for this ???

Guys, all the reviews I read on flipkart mentioned about heating problem, battery drain and slow performance. Should I wait for Redmi or go with Moto-E? Usage includes whatsapp, surfing(wifi), listening music and sometimes gaming.

 

[kamikaz]

These are all mostly soft ware related issues and could be addressed with future updates ,those who are having trouble with redmi ,try the stuff mentioned in this thread
Is Redmi worth buying even after its battery drainage and heating issue? - India - MIUI Official Community - Mobile

 

[saifi2649]

In performance term redmi suck atleast my device I hope they fix the issues in next updates. You wont believe me but sometimes keyboard takes 3 seconds to appear and music app force close if you open facebook app and chrome browser simultaneously. It feels like I am running a 512 mb ram device

 

[Skyh3ck]

yesterday i successfully added Resmi 1S to my cart on Flipkart, but since Android One devices are coming at a cheap price with all Google updated for next two years, I decided to go for Android One devices, I ordered Redmi for my friend and will wait for more Android One devices to come

If someone desperately wants a good cam phone (plus gaming)in this budget, then Redmi, otherwise look at other options.

Plus, there's no battery drainage issue in my Redmi, but heating is surely there. You just browse wifi, and it shoots to 40° without any reason.

Fcuk it. I never consider (major) software updates as a reason to buy phone after JB. Sometimes, people give too much importance to it rather than buying a "complete" phone.

If my phone works fine at 4.3, then I do not need any further, at least just to "upgrade".

 

[sandynator]

I feel like making a mistake getting Xiaomi Redmi 1S now & selling my beloved lumia 520 just for poor battery backup...

 

[The Incinerator]

[MENTION=82407]sandynator[/MENTION] ,do not worry about those nitpicking negative reviews about Redmi1S, its the best phone under Rs 12K now. The RAM consumption is an issue but not a major issue. Daily tasks like browsing and listening to music and that awesome camera is not affected at all. MiUi 6 is going to address the RAM issue,don't worry.....
