Xiaomi Hongmi 1s - More Powerful Budget

Look what I stumbled on, Xiaomi Hongmi 1S. A more powerful budget upgrade of RedMi.

At the glance, it is really just the same phone except it comes with a powerful upgrade.

It retains the 4.7 inch HD (1280 x 720 pixels) IPS Retina Display by Sharp / AUO (Apple supplier) with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 which is pretty much great with ~312 ppi pixel density providing you with strong and great visuals right off the bat.

The major change is the chipset where Mediatek Turbo got the boot in exchange to Snapdragon 400 MSM8228 clocked at 1.6GHz coupled with Adreno 305 graphics. Memory is at 1GB RAM and Internal storage gone up to 8GB that also comes with microSD card slot for expansion. This should put it against Moto G.

You also get precision optics equipped with 8MP Samsung / OV Back-Illuminated Auto Focus Rear Camera (ƒ/2.2 aperture, 28mm wide angle, and zero shutter lag) with LED Flash that also records Full HD 1080p video as well as 1.3MP Front-facing camera.

Usual connectivity like WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and 3G HSPA. USB OTG is also supported. Powering it is a 2000mAh Battery.

Overall, Hongmi 1s gives super bang for buck. Xiaomi provides all the best at way way down price.

Seems Lazada is carrying it, well under Seller Kile Mobile Communications that is...

Sold for 8,490.00
