Xiaomi Redmi 1S review: Stormtrooper

 

Xiaomi has been a regular around here lately and one of the last times we heard of them was how they sold a boatload of phones in no time. And it wasn't their finest either. A heavily discounted midranger made a splash at the box office, in India no less.

Review: Xiaomi Redmi 1S

 

Xiaomi's handset offers great value, but at what cost?

Crisp HD screen; Sturdy construction; Very good camera; Impressive multimedia performance; Aggressive pricing.

No SAR information; Output from the audio jack is quite low; Hightly reflective screen; Heats-up during gaming.
