My bad...didn't wait for the page to fully load.

Yeah the 1s is in stock. I vaguely recall the 1s is faster than the 2 and latest firmware had annoying bugs fixed. No 4g though.

Yup, technically Redmi 1s is slightly faster than Redmi 2(1.6GHz Quad vs. 1.2GHz Quad) and the recent update fixes some bugs on 1s and overheat problems were lesser now, according to some users on MIUI.
Some tradeoff would be the lack of dual 4G SIM and the latest 64bit CPU(though not beneficial now on R2 since it's still on Kitkat)

Though MIUI 6 Stable still has yet to come for Redmi 1s, which was previously promised around late-May to early-June.. :)

Also, see Miui forum about Redmi 2 over heat and battery drain issue.

And check up this review before purchase.

Going to China next week. Intend to buy the redmi 2 enhanced version with 2gb ram and 16gb storage. It is stated to be china mobile version but in the chinese forum it was said that you can go into the network setting and change the default to access to FDD LTE network. Any brother has a unit here to verify that it will work in Singapore 4g ?

Xiaomi Redmi 2 Enhanced(2GB/16GB) could be coming soon on 6th July, if not wrong from the video Mi Singapore posted. :)

really hope is 16gb version. But realistically, more likely a price drop for existing 8gb redmi 2. If you visit xiaomi malaysia website, they are running a few promos, including a price drop for redmi 2

In china it is 100RMB or $21 different between standard and enhanced version. But I believe the announcement in mi Singapore is for Mi note.
