Honestly, the redmi 1s is a phone I would only recommend to people who have a bit of know how. The hardware is solid and the screen is gorgeous. The software issues are a bit overrated and can be solved with a bit of tweaking. If all your mom needs is a basic smartphone with a bit of multimedia and gaming, this is a good choice. The heating issue is overrated. It only occurs when you are playing hd games. If you just root the phone and install coolify and one power guard, the heating will reduce . Then there is pure performance X mod which after I have installed, the phone performance has improved considerably. But by no means am I stating that you have to do all this just to use the phone. I personally used my Redmi for two weeks before rooting. It ran pretty well. The battery life is what caused me to Root. If you are a heavy user, it drains pretty fast especially because of the hd display. My opinion would be buy the redmi, root and underclock it to 1.2 Ghz, install coolify and one power guard. It will be more than enough for your mom.
Personally I would say its worth it because of the gorgeous screen alone and then there is the camera which is way better than its competitors. Your other options are zenfone 4 or Android one. I won't recommend moto e since it is getting long in the tooth.

Hi... Mi3 & Redmi 1S users,

I'm successfully able to mirror (screen mirroring) to samsung tv from my Mi3 and also Redmi 1s :lol: (can see what on my mob on big screen tv without any cables) :-D,
Can not do it by moto g (as per google search moto g doesnt support it) Redmi 1s can do with half the price.

Sharing this for the benefit of others, or who have not tried can try this amazing feature :stirpot:

How do you mirror ? Please explain, which app you are using?
Click to expand...

if you are connected to wifi with upnp enabled, along with a tv connected with the same wifi, then, when you open any image or video in gallery, you'll see projection icon, along with Send, Edit, etc. Click on projection and you can stream data to tv.

in case of mirroring, there is an option in settings, dont remember exactly, where you can enable it.

Mirroring is very useful than projecting and it takes few seconds now to connect to tv.

First it requires a TV having built-in wifi-fi (or dongle) and capable of screen mirroring or miracast.

I did as below....
In my mi3 under General Setting > pressed more > pressed Wi-Fi display, it asked to enable, i pressed ok.

In Samsung TV opened opened screen mirroring option under source, it started to look for device.

Then in mob Samsung TV name showed up, I pressed and it connected to TV in few seconds. Thats it, my mob screen was showing on TV :razz: Photo, video, games, etc whatever on mob can see on TV. You can do n number of things with this feature.

Btw, first i checked on our Samsung TV also i was able to check this mirroring on Sony / LG TVs also at showrooms and worked well. only thing is, contents quality is little inferior than original we see on mob. I searched a lot for this and tried many things as we didnt have wi-fi router so this one came in handy. now you can find more info in miui forum also abt this.

Guys, I just received my Redmi but I am out of station till next week so till then it would be sealed. I want to use it as a primary device. I require it for whatsapp, browsing, music and gaming (rarely). Rooting/under-clocking solves all the issues? I don't mind normal heating issues. The crashing and other software related bugs can be solved by updating or tweaking a bit? Should I use this as my primary device or sell it off?
