lol... they skipped spell check.

Do you guys know how do you re-arrange the big icons in simple mode?

Shame on Groupon! BAD business practice!
They offer Redmi 1S for RM499, which Xiaomi sold it for RM419, and they stated it is 44% saving.
They are saying the original Redmi 1S is RM899! Is this even legal? Give consumer false info on the retail price and give fake discount.

[44% Off] 8GB Xiaomi Redmi 1S Smartphone for RM499

They took it down today. No longer available. Maybe some of us did complain to Groupon of the fake discount.

I charge my 1s with the 1amp adapter comes with the phone, I can feel it is warm but not as your described 'quite warm'.
I charge my Mi3 with Nexus 7 2amp charger, which is much warmer but the battery charged up much faster.

What cover did you use? Maybe it has something to do with the cover does not allow heat to release.

It depeneds, I let my mom choose Redmi 1S and Redmi Note, she wants 1s as it is not as bulky.
If size is not an issue, then go for Redmi Note.

I wish they release Mi3 spec in 4.7". The Mi3 5" still a bit too big for my hand but I like the speed of Mi3.

Xiaomi is selling Redmi 1S 4G version in China for RMB 699 (RM358).

If it is COD, call Lazada now and maybe you still can reject the package since you haven't paid yet.

I think you can get better suggestion if you ask about 2nd hand bike in kopitiam forum
