Hugo Barra, Xiaomi’s Global VP has recently visited the Philippines to launch their newest smartphone that’ll arrive in the Philippines, the Xiaomi Redmi 1s. The Redmi line is the affordable devices of Xiaomi but despite having a very affordable price, the specifications of the Xiaomi Redmi 1S is powerful. It is probably the best smartphone for its price.
The Redmi 1S sports a 1.6GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 400 Processor and at Antutu, it can reach a benchmark score above 21,000. That score is quite high for its specifications. Normally, most phones with that processor doesn’t reach that high score.
