Xiaomi Redmi 2 Review

Score: 65.7 / 100

Xiaomi Redmi 2 is an amazing cellphone released in 2015, counting with a very fast 64 bit Quad-Core processor clocking at 1200 MHz, a medium sized 4.7-inches multi-touch capacitive screen, and 2 cameras, an 8 MP back side camera and a 2 MP front facing camera.

This phone comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 8916 chip, packing an extremely fast 64-bits Quad-Core CPU clocking at 1.2 GHz with only 1 GB RAM which is a bit poor comparing with this device's powerful processor. To handle graphic calculations, it also uses a 450 megahertz Adreno 306 graphic processing unit. A good advantage of this phone is its big 8 GB internal memory and an SD memory slot, which allows the user to store hundreds of games and applications without any trouble.

This cellphone is much lighter than what one would think about a phone of this size. While the Xiaomi Redmi 2 is only 5.27 inches long, it still manages to pack a 4.7 inches screen. The Xiaomi Redmi 2 is thin, being just 0.36 inches thick. Xiaomi offers the Xiaomi Redmi 2 in many different color variations like black, pink, yellow, green and white.

Xiaomi designed the Xiaomi Redmi 2 with a spectacular 4.7-inches screen, and a resolution of 1280 x 720 (HD), which makes everything look brightful and colorful. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

The Xiaomi Redmi 2 is equipped with two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 2 megapixels front-facing camera. It is capable of shooting 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second. The camera also includes many valuable characteristics: auto-focus, flash, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting, geo tagging and HDR mode.

This phone comes with a 2200 mAh great Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for several hours, although you may find yourself looking for a place to charge it if you use it heavily.

This phone counts with wi-fi connectivity (which it can provide to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high performance internet connection and the fastest 3G connection type, supported by HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone has 2 SIM cards so it's able to use two different phone numbers or carriers at the same time.

This cellphone also comes with a couple of useful features like Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Navigation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

The Xiaomi Redmi 2 is very expensive considering it is offerred for 249 dollars, and other similar cellphones can be found for much less money. The Xiaomi Redmi 2 is definitely the correct choice for you no matter whether you are a photography fan, need a device for work, want a social device or want this cellphone to play tons of games.
