Moto E 2nd Gen vs Redmi 1S

No Need to Introduce the Xiaomi Redmi 1S.It is  our resident budget champion. It provides a good blend of performance and a solid user experience. However, the new Moto E 2nd Gen could be slightly better. The new Moto E 2nd Gen has a faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset, which also supports 64-bit applications. This means the Moto E 2nd Gen is perhaps the only phone in the sub-Rs 10,000 price bracket that supports 64-bit applications as it is the only one that has the combination of Android Lollipop and a 64-bit capable chip. The Xiaomi Redmi 1S, on the other hand, is stuck on Android KitKat and an older Snapdragon 400 processor.

The 3G only version of the Moto E uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, which is the same one the Redmi 1S uses. 

As the Moto E runs on an almost vanilla Android user interface, it should be faster than the Redmi 1S, which is based on MiUI. While MiUI is refined it also has slow animations that are similar to iOS. This could give the Moto E a critical edge in performance. The gaming performance should also be better on the Moto E 2nd Gen as it sports the new Adreno 306 GPU as opposed to the older Adreno 305 GPU on the Redmi 1S.

The Redmi 1S excels in the photography department. Its 8-megapixel camera is one of the best in the segment and we don't think that the Moto E has enough fire power on board to challenge the Redmi 1S. The Moto E does not even have a flash on the back.  we never say never.

The Redmi 1S also lacks 4G something the Moto E offers in a more expensive model. Both phones have dual-SIM slots, so in that regard the devices are evenly matched. In terms of design, the Redmi 1S has a rather drab and bulky design. It is solid, no doubt, but we feel the Moto E 2nd Gen is the looker with the varied customisation options it offers.

The one area where the Redmi 1S could come ahead is the display. Its 4.7-inch display has a 720p resolution, which is pin sharp and qualifies for the Retina moniker. The Moto E 2nd Gen, on the flip side, has a 4.5-inch qHD panel.

Between the Redmi 1S and the Moto E things are very tight, however as the Xiaomi Redmi 1S is not being sold anymore, the matter is kind of sealed.so More chance for the New Moto E 2nd Gen.
