Holy sh!t!! Xiaomi is insane.

moto e pales in front of 1s :lol:

its a check mate for motorola, indian manufactures and Nokia by Microsoft :lol:

Rip Indian manufacturers.

Hows the community support if this manufacturer ?

Anybody planning to buy this do check to see if you like miui, first . There's no work arounds, i mean no developments or xda support, you'll have to live with miui. Also check bug reports on the official miui forums, to know what hurdles to expect and how long they take to come up with fixes after issue has been reported.

MIUI interface is lovely. Have tried several roms from MIUI.
But being stuck only with MIUI is a big deal.

^True story. It fealt good the first few days, but made me sick afterwards and switched back

I am So jealous looking at 1S after buying Moto E.

1s excels only in camera department and external memory support. And the PRICE. Oh! Moto E is so dead now.

However i have been doing some research and found out that the GTX 460,470, and 480 are the same GPU design as the Quadro 4000.

asus is a better brand in terms of after sales and quality
people have already reported issues with xiaomi,reception and software issues as well as bad speakers and poor service
asus is better established in india and so is moto
