Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ketaki Bhojnagarwala]()
Verdict
The Redmi 2 Prime is a solid smartphone for its price, and can handle most day-t0-day tasks, including gaming, without faltering. The smartphone faces some competiton in the way of the YU Yuphoria (review), Lenovo A6000 Plus (review) and InFocus M350, but in our opinion, is still one of the best budget smartphones priced under Rs 8,000. And to address the question we posed at the beginning of the review – should you opt for the Redmi 2 or Redmi 2 Prime? Well, if you`re looking fo
Pros
- Good cameras
- Reliable performance
- Good battery life
- Ample storage
Cons
- Still a few lags in usage
- Runs Android KitKat
What’s the same
+
Physically, the Redmi 2 Prime is a clone of the Redmi 2. It features the same blocky design with rounded edges and a removable plastic back panel. Above the screen you’ll find the earpiece, sensors and front 2MP camera, while below you’ll find the three Android navigation keys outlined in red. A notification LED is disguised under the home button.

What’s different
+
The only difference between the Redmi 2 and the Redmi 2 Prime lies in the RAM and storage, which Xiaomi has doubled. So, while the 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor remains the same, you get 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage to work with. In terms of performance, the extra RAM should make the smartphone feel more zippy, but we still found the odd lag or two during daily usage, an issue which can be attributed to MIUI. Otherwise, the smartphone performs well on most counts. As far as gaming is concerned, the Adreno 306 GPU can handle most light games without breaking a sweat. More intensive titles like Riptide GP2 play smoothly enough, with only the occasional frame drop or two to interrupt the experience. While we're on the subject of performance, it's worth mentioning that the KitKat-based MIUI 6 doesn’t harness the 64-bit capabilities of the Snapdragon 410 SoC, which should technically account for better performance.
