Xiaomi Redmi 1S: Specifications like Moto G, Price less than Moto E
Talk about Samsung releasing their Galaxy Note 4 is also much less than the excitement over Xiaomi releasing Redmi 1S today.
Calling it the Chinese phenomenon would be unfair. Most Chinese manufacturers cannot even create a whisper about their brand but Xiaomi has created a hysteria that has blown even Samsung away. Talk about Samsung releasing their Galaxy Note 4 is much less than the excitement over Xiaomi releasing Redmi 1S today. The phone was sold in 4.2 seconds today at 2pm.
It was not surprising though. It started with Moto G in Febuary when 20,000 units were sold out in 40 minutes. At that time Flipkart got quite some flak but Moto only became faster at selling their phones. Then came Moto E in May when it sold so fast that Flipkart crashed. Then came Xiaomi in August and again Flipkart crashed. This time it was sold out in 4.2 seconds but fortunately Flipkart did not crash.

A great thing about Redmi 1S is that its specifications compare with Moto G but its price is less than Moto E. Here are the specifications.
Specification | Moto E | Xiaomi Redmi 1S | Moto G |
Number of SIMs | Dual | Dual | Dual |
Processor | 1.2 GHz MSM8x10 Dual Core Processor | 1.6GHz Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with Cortex-A7 core | Qualcomm MSM8226 Snapdragon 400 with Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 |
Display | 4.3 inch display that has 540 x 960 qHD resolution and 256 ppi pixel density Corning Gorilla Glass 3 | 1280×720 display with up to 312 pixel per inch | 4.5 inches, 720 x 1280 pixels (~326 ppi pixel density)Corning Gorilla Glass 3 |
Android version | Android 4.4 KitKat | Android 4.4 KitKat | Android 4.4 KitKat |
Camera | 5 MP primary camera | 1.6MP front camera and 8MP rear camera | 5 MP rear camera with 1.3MP camera |

So, as you can see Redmi 1S is Moto G at the price of Moto E. But can it match the quality of the two Motorola phones? It is difficult to tell. Maybe user reviews after a month will give a good idea of the phone.
