Xiaomi Mi 1S - User Reviews

  • These phones should only be used for those purposes, not as daily drivers. You will eventually in the future need to use a different phone to use as a daily driver.

  • for the 1S, camera glass is weak, cracks easily. be sure to take good care of it

  • No google play store means wht? then from whr we can install the apps

  • phone seems cool and no play store means your a## is safe from google's spying machine

  • Actually it is about Xiaomi Mi3. It has extraordinary short life. It lasted barely three weeks. I am a very careeful user of phone. my previous phone still works fine. It is so disappointing! The large number of people visiting the service centre to get their phone repaired also is tell tale story of the quality of the phone. So if you are thinking of buying one please remember its a very short lived product and the customer support centre pass the blame to the customer to avoid doing repairs.

  • If you dont own a Xiaomi Phone, its better that you shouldnt talk...yes it doesnt have Google Play in his native OS, but MIUI has his own market when you can easily install Google Play, hence, every app that you want.I own a Xiaomi MI2-S and this phone is spectacular, the price is half of the Galaxy S4, and the performance is equal or even better.

  • no goggle play ?....then it is a fake phone...a clone phone !!

  • hi i purchased this phone one week ago and it can not access the internet..how do i change the settings.

  • Also how to get the google maps and change the language to English

  • got this phone 2 days back....how to change all the menus and settings to english...I have changed the language settings to English, though I could see some buttons (and if we go inside that option, the language is chinese) in chinese. Also how to find an app (for example I want to check FB app where do I go)

  • super fast. unbreakable!

  • i have buy this phone ,please chack otg working on this phone???

  • great phone , i love it used samsung s4,s3 iphone but this xiaomi os is great guys , no issue . super fast, fits my budget too.dont worry guys xiaomi rocks.have no 2nd thoughts ,just buy it

  • Because Android kernel reserves some RAM for GPU and another for the system. The rest is free for user applications.

  • yes

  • How to check,does is fake phone or original?

  • Hi guys..why this phone in Antutu shows total RAM of 796MB, available 396MB? Can anyone explain please?

  • Brought this phone for my wife from hotmed. Genuine xiaomi preload with English Miui ROM v3.2.22. Build quality is very good for the price. Touch screen respond is good. Camera, sound quality is good. Only missing is the 3100mAh battery. The down side is a size is bit big and heavy for the screen size. Which make M2 much more attractive. 4.3" higher resolution screen, 4 core and only 1-2mm bigger in size and have 3100mAh battery.

  • Be careful! Xiaomi phones have a lot of fakes in the market. Even big online shops can sell counterfeits under the Xiaomi trademarks. I bought a falsified Xiaomi MI-1s from the American �Negri Electronics Inc� online shop. The clone was sold using stolen Xiaomi registered trademarks and product description. By the way, this shop is advertised in GSMarena.

  • Does this phone has a phone function?

  • You can buy it from ebay. It more safe than aliexpress.

  • you can buy it from www.aliexpress.com

  • hi dear, can u tell me on which site u have ordered this phone...and is it save to order online?

  • @Ujas Where did u buy it from and for how much?

  • i have bought this phone from china it is really cool man i ike it. too much easy to operate and the function are very nice. with affordable price too...........

  • I bought this phone from china last week. Phone is superb in design, features, performance. It gives the good old samsung galaxies a run for its money. bought for 1700 yuan from shanghai. preloaded with ICS (version15). 4 gb rom - 2.4gb usable.

  • I own this phone and i would strongly recommend it, it might be chinese, but the quality and the specs are just awesome for the price. had it for over 4months and had no problems whatsoever, if you are in doubt , go for it! :)

  • where can u buy it in the netherlands

  • My friend it's the hype they want to create. They r thinking pure business, unlike other manufacturers They spend on advertisements , products and keep making millions of units. Where as these smart asses are making an affordable product , limited availability for the time being and ofcourse with all the kool specs of a top smartphone. We just hav to wait for the time when mi-2 is out and seeling better than the first . Only then we have a chance to c this 1st product globally, my xpectations are , mid Next year... till then we can either appreciate or taunt the way v r doing ryt now . peace ..

  • i got this phone 5 days ago ,as i live in china and i booked online from xiaomi website, phone is really very good, also price is very good, now i'm waiting for xiaomi m2 (RMB 1999), one i get it will post comments. thanks

  • I have it, i love !!! Thx xiaomi !

  • can i get this in india ?

  • China was the greatest inventor of scince and technology in the world before 20th century such as invention of gun powder,rocket,compas,printer,papper,ships,umbrel­la,noodles(spaghetty) austronomycal science etc .Between 20 to 21th century western countries took ideas and mordanised them.But now those things are comming to its original place and progressing rappidly.That is good news.Keep on to progress Xiaomi and China.

  • Phone is totally good brother :)

  • "the price of RMB 1,499 ($235, �190) seems to really be appealing to consumers" Now... that's cheaper than most dual core powered phones... 1.7Ghz is no short feat either...

  • The trouble with Amazon is they change their prices all the time,,The Samsung Beam the new one was £545 at one point they charge what they want on niche products.. The trouble with these type of fones is this,, Sunlight ledgibility of screen, Quality of speakers microphones and camera, Video recording quality, Battery life and so on ,,its like Song,LG and HTC they use shoddy components sometimes and have quality allover the place..Apple,Nokia and Samsung are usually consistent and use decent quality components..That said the Huawei G300 for 100GBP on Vodafone UK was pretty good solid smartfone..So its what quality it is thats the problem..

  • Is this phone have a good quality? I'm not sure with it!

  • from where i can buy this phone in india.....??? any online store...

  • How remarkable. It costs more than htc one x at amazon.

  • Plz, will u release this smart phone to Myanmar? I am from Myanmar. I am xo interesting about this handset. Plz I am waitinh for the information. Thank u xo much.

  • if we order from amezone then phone will lock. now have any answer.?

  • hi dear u had posted the price of the phone is 36000 , but as per arena the price is 190 euro or 12350, so where did you find the price?

  • Hey, what you said is valid. But it takes time to grow brands before they go global. And the fact that they are a MAJOR HIT in the Chinese market, which is one of the most competitive in the world due to availability of all international brands + the horde of cheap local brands must say something for quality and value. Have you gotten your hands on this gadget? I used to use a Samsung S2 and the S3. When I got the XIAOMI 1S, it is by far a superior phone to Samsung S3 which is why I ditched the other 2 and use only this. You should try it out.

  • I'm quite sure some day soon they will. Look at their knives, for example... years after years they were made from cheapest steel, and then SanRenMu appeared and made a high quality knife for a third of the price and everyone bought it. If they could do that with steel, they can do it with plastic too.

  • GOOD

  • As if this was available in Indian Market

  • the price is 36000 INDAIN bucks its too much for this phone u can get galaxy s3 for this price .

  • Hey xiaomi ,if you are true, come and test world market. Success just in China is not really beleavable,durable and admirable.Quality production of chinese companies are like gold particles in sand. If you want to prove to have been genious dare to challange the world.

  • Yah get this phone and all xiaomi models

  • 190 Euros = 13,200 Indian rupees.. if this is price then its a perfect deal in India.. most of the high end phones starts with 20,000 INR..

  • How much it costs in china now (in us$),,and the tft screen and this resolution are good on the phone,or not?

  • via pirating!

  • Good specifications but why they don't release international version of this phone?????

  • Agree to you, just can't wait myself to grab this phone too.. As the news reported that it was sold out in China for its 1st day realising. Awesome dude it's also preinstalled with JellyBean!! I won't waste my money for other expensive smartphones..

  • This chinese new smartphone is really worth for its price. It gives great specs better then other expensive branded smartphone nowdays. Adequate clear screen, extra extensive battery life, 8mp camera for clean shoot, secondary cam 2mp, midrange Gpu andreno 220 to tackle down all HD games, support with one of the latest n fastest CPU 1,7Ghz dual core to handle many appications without problem. Just what we need is here, I'm not that fan of branded cellphones, as long we use it properly it will be fine for sure.. Its really affordable!! Hope this smartphone will be sold in global, so I can get this one. ^____^

  • China zindabaad..
