The update brings the use of zRAM which compresses space occupied unused apps in RAM, therefore increasing available memory. One of the major issues with the Redmi 1S is memory management which causes apps to force-close or become unresponsive mid-work. Then there's the heating issues with the phone which too seem to have been resolved.
