i dun think u can both spec like this, since 1 is definitely using newer parts than the other old model.

and i would say yes its definitely worth the upgrade if u are a power user (meaning u want less lag with more apps opened and able to get good signal for your daily call, msg and internet on the go.)

but if for basic phone usage, its still quite ok to buy this as an upgrade.

you should definitely consider redmi4 instead if lag is a concern to you

Redmi 2s?

There's only the Redmi 2, 2 Enhanced and Redmi 2A. I assume you're referring to the Redmi 2 (1GB+8GB) variant.
It can be considered a small upgrade in terms of storage, but I would say the regular Redmi 4 or the Redmi 4 Prime will be better~

Will recommend u buy the prime version with 3gb ram. Or can also consider buying mi max since the difference in price between the Redmi 4 prime and Mi Max is not that big.

the only obvious negative about xiaomi's phones is lousy material, but this is why it's cheap.?don't use it as main phone unless you want to change a phone every year

The material I would say is of a decent quality, not to an extent of lousy.

My Redmi 1S bought at the price of $169 is a durable one, drop many times on its screen face also no crack or whatsoever.
Same for my Redmi 2 too~
