Can Xiaomi Redmi 1S outpace Mi3 sales?

The 4.7 inch Xiaomi Redmi 1S is a 3G dual SIM phone, powered by Android's 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system and 1.6 GHz quadcore processor.

The easy toggle options to change settings, and the torch that is operational from the lock screen are some of the main user-friendly features of Xiaomi's user interface, MIUI. You can also have fun with customizable themes and fonts.

The Redmi 1S features a 8MP rear camera with a 28mm wide angle lens, and enables high quality 1080p video recording. At such a competitive price, the camera is more than plain satisfactory.

The 8GB on-board memory (expandable up to 32GB) and an additional 10g of free cloud storage on Xiaomi's Mi Cloud, allows you to store your contacts, photos, videos, docs, and access them on the go.

"Redmi 1S features the same sound technology used by BMW, Bentley, and Rolls Royce. Audio output adapts to the type of headphones you're using to make sure you always get the best possible performance."

The phone comes in a box made from recycled materials, which can support 300 pounds when lying flat.
