Xiaomi RedMi 1s review after 125 days

Here is my review of Xiaomi Redimi 1S after using it for 105 days. I bought this mobile in first stock (September 2nd 2014) and never rooted. So this my brief (personal) review. Let's say OPINION regarding Xiaomi Redmi 1S. In July ,2014 I was looking for a decent phone (cheap). Was stuck on Moto E and Micromax Unite 2 but then heard about Xiaomi CHINESE Brand or APPLE Of china and blah blah. Searched about it, many articles told Redmi 1S has superb specs and awesome price (6999) (previously). Perfect rival of Moto E. Decided to take a chance as the camera of Moto E is not upto the par. Then the date of launching announced. With reduced price tag of "5999". Next i registered it and Bang! Got it on first sale. Delivered on 9th September.   Experience and complaints 1. Superb smooth touch no issues with it, except while charging. 2. Best display quality in class 720p video looks amazing. (large enough). 3. Again best in class camera.(secondary + front) both. 4

Why online shopping sites are obsessed to install their apps?

Whenever I open websites like Flipkart, SnapDeal, Aamzon annoyingly shows their ad to download mobile app. This ad consumes almost 25% of my screen which made me to switch to 5-inch phone. Even it makes me to feel annoyed . All of the sudden they are providing attractive offers. It created me suspicious about the apps. Why they need to provide offers only for mobile apps? why they keep on advertise to install the apps? Here are few guesses: Apps are easiest way to advertise. The hit rate is more than any form advertisement like TV, website or FM. Apps can generate notification and it is not under your control. When I bought Xiaomi Redmi 1S it came pre-installed Flipkart app and once I received notification which says 20% offer in mobile phones. Technically they call it as push notification.  Is it only about advertisement? I have another guess. Maybe they reduce the web load using the app. App use your phone's resource (RAM, CPU) and this will reduce their web load. You kn

Keypad phones are attracted more than touchscreen

Image
No matter how good the touch is, I still miss the keypad phone. I convinced myself that with keypad mobile I can type way faster than touch. However my mind got practiced to thumb typing and I can type faster than I do in physical keyboard. With word suggestions, predictions and auto corrections I should admit that I am more productive in touch phones. When BlackBerry launched its new square phone - The Passport, I got much attracted to it. It got good feedback even though it is hard to hold and type in single hand. Who doesn't get attracted to phone of this type? After the success of Passport, BlackBerry launched its new phone Classic which looks same as its old models. There are lot of buzz about the phone and it got easily attracted to BB fans as well as tech freaks. More viewers for Keypad related articles I did an article about top 3 keypad phone, people are more interested in this article than the article about touchscreen phone. Maybe touch phones are easy bu
