Have you guys used PC suite that comes with redmi 1s? It is in chinese. Can I get an English version?

MTK never release Kernel Source , hence custom ROM support is bleak.

They released for Android one. But mostly they don't release or ask for license fees to release.

Developer support is non-existant at this point. But we will see something in the future...

There is no guarantee.
Otherwise it's value for money phone as far as h/w is concerned but not having developer support is big NO for me.

.

To put it across simply and more clearly they don't release,there's no support. Android one is a different story altogether and not part of enthusiast level chipset.

^^ I said same thing, this is why I am not buying Xiaomi Note 3g.

Then I am glad I went with the 1s I guess. Inferior hardware but good dev support. Even Asus zenfones have almost non existent dev support.

Now that's real bad news. I ordered and paid for one but canceled it,just to see the first few user reports and then going for it absolutely!

Another thing to note is that my friend had the updates already installed. I wasn't expecting any lag because I was testing it right after a days use. On the other hand my Sis-in-law's Red Mi 1S isn't laggy at all. Also I am not happy with the UI scaling, looks bleak and meh, .

My neighbor's gonna receive one I arranged for him,will check and decide. Thanks for the info,though.

I haven't noticed any lag on my Redmi Note yet... The first thing I do on all phones is install Google Now Launcher... 2 GB RAM helps. Phone is fast.

But the 13 MP camera is sh*t, especially indoors... Redmi 1S has an 8 MP camera but still better than the one on redmi note...

Xiaomi will hold a launch event in China on December 9 - GSMArena.com news

Exactly! That is what i think.Yes 3G with octacore is better option No point in going for 4G here in India At least until they become mainstream.

Have you enable 2nd sim on phone.Go to settings->Sim management enable 2nd sim.

Nope you are wrong Mediatek Octa core will not consume much battery it will only enable 1 or 2 cores during IDLE.It will enable core according to load.

It was the issue with SIM and Phone , even though it was working perfectly with Old phone , when i check the SIM it looks very old ( might have some old tech or something ) - I Replaced the SIM from BSNL , now both sim working perfectly

Redmi Note Camera quality is very very poor. Not expected. Thoroughly dissapointed. Red Mi 1S a Rs 5999 product is way way way better.

Sale tomorrow should I buy? What are the cons of this phone(one that you really notice-jellybean is not that slow, though a drain on the battery)?

 

[kamikaz]

Has anyone noticed the redmi 1s is still on sale, yet to go out of stock even after 24 hours, guess the demand has waned

 

[Akira]

So final verdict: I should get Redmi note,yes? Max budget is 10k, and no other phone offers these many features at this price. Any thoughts??

 

[sharang]

I would say go for it, if you manage to get hold of one during todays sale.

I think its good that only those who want it are buying it and not those who want to leech people off of it.

Got one. 9k through COD, delivery by 15th Dec.
