Xiaomi Redmi 1s also has dual sim card slot but only one sim with 3G connectivity. Front camera of Redmi 1s is 8MP and secondary is 1.6MP.  What else you want from a phone price of Rs. 6000/ -. Other Technical specifications of phone-

Surprisingly the things those were missing in Mi3 has been completed in the low end Redmi 1s like removable battery, dual sim, micro sd card slot even at low budget. Xiaomi don’t want to miss anything to make success it at a huge level.

If we see performance and hardware specifications no any phone is available at this price tag to compete with Xiaomi Redmi 1s. let see how much response it gain in Indian users but if we see Mi3 history there is no doubt it will make the history again with bigger success.

XIaomi Redmi 1S OS and Launcher-

MIUI OS is same as described in earlier post with beautiful skin, MIUI launcher , tons of themes and features. MIUI music app has also very feature full, also it has call recording functionality inbuilt.

The default MIUI launcher is very fast and efficient once you used to it will not annoying too much.

In MIUI rooting  your phone and flashing ROMs will not void warranty of your phone.

Phone has some great security features like firewall (you can select app that can use data access), permission management – which app can access which functionality of your phone your can control like you can disable to access you location, contacts etc. for the app you not trust. For new users this thing can be nightmare as many apps that works fine is android may trouble or not worked well without trust this app check in app permission and auto start at boot. So if you face problem with your downloaded app from play store select the app inside permission management and check I trust this app (e.g. whatsapp, handcent sms, Alarm apps etc.).
