Xiaomi has had a great run since its launch in India in June. While your entry level Redmi 1S was well received in India, which was discontinued late last year to help focus on Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G. The Redmi Note 3G was arrested to be sold in India after Ericsson filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Xiaomi. So from the beginning of this year, the cheapest phone Xiaomi has been the Redmi Note 4G Rs 9999. Whereas Lenovo already announced the A6000 at CES (and released in India in February) and Moto E (2015) was published early last month, it was a matter of time before we saw Xiaomi Redmi 2.

The Xiaomi Redmi 2 is a upgrage to Redmi H1 last year and in terms of appearance has not changed much. For all practical purposes, the Redmi 2 resembles a younger brother of Note Redmi 4G. Xiaomi has employed a plastic mat back into the Redmi 2. The back cover is flimsy plastic but is comparatively stronger than that seen in the A6000 Lenovo. The back cover opens to reveal the section of the removable battery and dual SIM slot card along with a microSD card slot.

The overall look of MIUI 6 has not changed drastically, but Xiaomi has perfected the design of applications made simpler and flatter applications. For example, music and video applications are carefully divided into local sections and cloud; clock application has a new design that divides again into alarm, stopwatch, timer and clock; weather app has a beautiful display of data; Safety Application perfectly divided into different sections such as cleaning, data usage, blocklist and so on. There is a nice button activation to change a setting on or off.
In terms of features, Xiaomi has added some nice touches. Now receives floating notifications to not be interrupted (to make that decisive photograph or while playing your favorite game) when you receive a message or call, as it is displayed as a notification floating on top.

It adds widgets, change transition effects and so on. The camera application has also undergone a redesign, but let's take a look at it under the section of the chamber. The browser also has a new look.

Following a 4.7-inch IPS display with a resolution of high definition, a 312PPI high pixel density is obtained. Text appears sharp and even at a close distance did not notice any pixelation. The colors are vibrant, but there is a warm undertone in Redmi 2. The auto-brightness feature works well when outdoors. Great viewing angles are given and only the reflective surface is a distraction when viewed from angles. While watching movies, dark scenes make the reflective surface of the screen quite evident, as it acts as a mirror below. Bright scenes not post any problem.
Camera
Xiaomi Redmi 2 comes with 8 megapixel rear camera and 2MP front camera, rear camera with sensor has a pixel size of 1.4 microns. Having seen a lot of entry level phones with high megapixel count, not really expecting much from the camera Redmi 2. But is decent enough for an entry level phone. Comes with the same minimal user interface that was there in the My 4. Swiping right brings up the various filters and slide left vomits options such as Panorama mode, HDR mode, manual mode and so on.
Autofocus speed is not the fastest, but the option to manipulate the exhibition at the touch within and surrounding the slider around the circle of approach is very useful. Light shooting are detailed, although there is a slight hot dye for photographs. The edge sharpness was better than that observed in the A6000 Huawei Honor 4X and Lenovo. Indoor shots had better control over noise compared to the competition.
Shooting in low light is where the camera performance begins to suffer. Although the images are certainly useful if you are only sharing online, you realize dithering around the edges when shooting in low light. You will notice a slight barrel distortion in images, but chromatic aberration is well controlled. In general, competitors such as the Lenovo A6000, Huawei Honor 4X and Moto E, Redmi 2 definitely has an advantage when it comes to image quality and camera performance.

Judgement and Price in India
Xiaomi significant improvement Redmi 2 over its predecessor is the addition of the two SIM slots 4G, higher capacity battery and a new user interface. While this may make sense for someone living in a city that is blessed with a 4G connectivity for most buyers 4G is not a purchase decision as important now as many parts of India are yet to Directions 4G networks. Current users of Redmi 1S have no need to upgrade to the Redmi 2 to veto 4G not much has changed.
The Redmi 2 is priced at Rs 6999, which competes with the Lenovo A6000 (which also offers 4G connectivity) and the Motorola Moto E. Redmi 2 definitely has an advantage over other competitors and is definitely a good choice for buyers first time. The only problem is the flash sales model that can put many potential customers who prefer the convenient option of going to the Android 5.0 Motorcycle sport E. Xiaomi had recently announced that it will start selling the phone offline in certain metropolitan areas, but the Redmi 2 is not on the list of phones to be sold in the first wave.
Ultimately, it comes down to your needs. If you want to secure the future of your investment, then it is a battle between the Lenovo A6000 and Xiaomi Redmi 2. If the latest Android updates are what you are looking for, then the Motorola Moto E is the one for you, despite reading about their defects before putting your money into it. Hopefully, A6000 and Redmi 2 should also receive the update to Android 5.0, but with no word on why the Moto E certainly has the advantage of being first in that department. Not to mention the battery life of Moto E is better than both Redmi 2 and A6000.
