If not because of the 4G connectivity, i think it’s not worth to replaced my redmi 1s for this…, still has 1GB RAM, please yuga tech review the heating issue of 1s if it is already resolved by Redmi2… Let me know if whatever the result is… thanks and More power..

I wouldn’t mind a slightly higher asking price for the 16GB/2GB ROM + RAM configuration. *sigh*

wala na sigurong heating issue base on international reviewers ok naman kasi higher clocked at 1.6 ghz ang redmi 1s imbes na sa normal clock na 1.2 ghz. Ok na to alam ko OGS at 64bit processor nito mas maooptimized nya ang android lollipop nito. Base sa sinabi ni Hugo Barra target nila ang Android Lollipop so maguupdate din to. Ok na yun para sa Php500.00 na dagdag sa redmi 1s. Lastly ang base din sa international reviewers mas maganda ang camera nito kaysa sa redmi 1s.

Xiaomi is no longer the lone, cheap, good quality smartphone in the market. This time it has to contend not only with local brands but well known international brands as well. Notably, Meizu and Alcatel. Alcatel Flash Plus beats the Redmi2 in all areas from display size, memory to battery, for a mere extra 1k in price.

I love Xiaomi. I’m a happy owner of Redmi 1S and if given a choice now, I’d still go for the Redmi 2 for 2 reasons. The 4.7 size is to me the sweet spot of smartpnone not too small not too big. Secondly, it’s a Qualcomm inside. But I do find the selling tactic of Xiaomi irritating.
I don’t know if people will still put up with it considering the changing circumstances. Xiaomi must find a better way to make its internet-centric selling more enjoyable. Pressure tactics won’t work this time, it will only turn off many and they have other brands to go now.
