Xiaomi is already believed to be working on a couple phones including a Redmi Note successor and another flagship, likely from the Mi series. However, a variant of the Redmi 1S will launch prior to any of those, as early as 4th January, i.e., coming Sunday.
The new variant will have dual LTE, which will allow users to be on 4G LTE networks on both SIMs on the dual SIM phone. The current version of the device comes 3G only, and the dual LTE Redmi 1S will be the second phone from the Redmi series, after the Redmi Note 4G, to offer on-board LTE.
We’ve had a peek at this device previously — it’ll have a 64-bit SoC in the form of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410, while the other internals remain the same. This includes a 4.7-inch 720p display, 1GB of RAM and an 8 mega-pixel main camera.

We quite liked the Redmi 1S during our testing period with the phone, and a dual LTE variant will be well received with LTE networks on the rise at the moment.
Xiaomi must be crazy! why again doesn’t give 2gbram to this phone? Only one phone is good from xiaomi all the other have chopped spec. Anyway it’s good for family members…
There is no phone in the world as gud as present Redmi 1s for INR 6000 i.e. $ 95..LTE is welcome too..provided price is not excessively inflated.
This is an entry model…you don’t need 2GB ram (jedi mind trick haha) you got the Redmi Note with 2GB or even the mi3 if you need something better. And given the price you simply cannot ask more(just look at the competition…same specs or even less and double the price.
Jedi mind trick? Unfortunately, these are not the droids you’re looking for…
a bit “cold war” with your villain states… wouldn’t the bad guys be iran and north korea?
They will! not next year 2016 December… Jiayu will sell 100$ phone with 20MP and 3gbram…
im with the Redmi 1s, i will go this time for Meizu M1 Note, better choice, i’m so disappointed by Xiaomi at all!

Would you like to buy some Russian or Cuban phones instead?
If they come with 2gigs of ram or more, why the fuck not?
