Xiaomi India has sent out press invites for an event in Delhi tomorrow.

It houses 1GB/2GB of RAM and 8GB/16GB of internal memory, further expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card. For imaging, the Redmi 2 houses an 8MP rear camera with a BSI sensor, an Omnivision sensor and an LED flash, and a 2MP front shooter.
Apart from 4G LTE, the smartphone offers Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0, USB 2.0, and A-GPS. It runs Android 4.4 KitKat with MIUI 6 on top, and is fuelled by a 2,200mAh battery. It comes in five different hues like white, grey, and yellow.
