Cons: Room MIUI v5 on Android 4.3, which is fine, but I prefer the factory clean rooms.
Today we talk about the spectacular new 1S Xiaomi Red Rice also called Xiaomi 1S Redmi WCDMA, which is a much improved version of the previous Red Rice. This phone is the economic version of the famous Xiaomi Mi3, with a very high price value, here's the review and my opinion.
Red Rice Xiaomi 1S - Reviews |
Why the Red Rice H1 stands above the rest?
For a very simple reason, because in the price segment in which it moves, about 139 € here in Spain, has a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 400 MSM8228 chip, quad-core 1.6 Ghz Cortex A7. and Adreno GPU 305. Come on, you have a really powerful, very eficiene processor, and so like most of all, unlike most Chinese phones, the Red Rice Xiaomi 1S is compatible with European GPS.
As you see in the picture below, the design is very similar to the previous, smooth and clean lines, with a 4.7-inch IPS display protected with Gorilla Glass 2, that when you hold it in your hand gives the feeling of being in front of a phone from the higher-end, no one would say that you can buy for € 139 in Amazon.es

The Redmi Xiaomi 1S is a great phone as you can see in the features. A Full HD IPS screen of 4.7 inches, which is the perfect size, and the protection Gorilla Glass 2, which enables you to keep it as the first day without scratches or damage typical of the screens.
The powerful 4-core processor is more than enough to play games and watch movies in HD, coupled with 1GB of RAM, will allow you to move any application smoothly. It has an internal memory of 8 GB to store photos, videos and apps, but if you get to fill, is expandable up to 32GB via SD card.
Camera to say, the factory Sony, so it is quality assurance. A very good 8 megapixel camera with LED flash and autofocus, plus photos that can record video in high definition, can not ask for more. The photos will surprise, it seems they are made with a mobile.
And here are two great features that differentiate it from other phones cheap Chinese in its segment, which has 900 Mhz band (3G) and is compatible with GPS in Europe thanks to its Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor (unlike the old Mediatek) , you will catch satellites in seconds.
AnTuTu Benchmark
After seeing the features and specifications, it is good compared with other devices in terms of performance, to get an idea of the power it has. That is AnTuTu Benchmark, which measures parameters such as frequency of the processor, GPU, RAM, battery life, speed reading and writing to memory, etc.
We see that is above the previous model, the Galaxy S3, and although not shown in the picture also gets a higher score than the Nexus 4 or Motorola Moto G. The results are very good for its price and segment, so they You have put the number 1 selling in a few months.
Red Rice Xiaomi 1S WCDMA personal opinion
Xiaomi has earned a great name in recent years, has gone from being an unknown brand to be among the best and most popular brands of Chinese phones. This is not for nothing that manufacture mobile upper-middle range, and high-end PRO range at very low prices compared to big brands we all know. This mobile I really like, within its price bracket is the best there is today. Sure there are better, but it will be 300 €.
