We started 2015 with a major launch in the low-end segment. Xiaomi presented its new Redmi 2 days after a leak that anticipated this move. As is customary for the Chinese brand, the terminal has authentic luxury specifications for the price of under 100 euros to the change with which it came. Only one aspect, RAM, was clearly behind the new batch of devices that would compete with the Redmi 2, but Xiaomi has seen this situation and would be preparing a variant with 2GB of RAM.
The Xiaomi Redmi 2 has a screen of 4,7 inches with HD resolution (720p), the chosen processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 with 64 bits and four cores operating at a frequency of 1,2 GHz, it was initially accompanied by a 1 GB RAM and 8 GB of storage capacity expandable via microSD cards. The main camera has a sensor 8 megapixels and the battery has a capacity of 2200 mAh, enough to guarantee a good autonomy. Its launch price was 93 euros to change, what more can you ask for that money?
From the point of view of the consumer looking for something economical, the Redmi 2 is undoubtedly one of the most desirable options, but it is true that the terminals in this segment have undergone a great evolution since the appearance of the Motorola Moto G in 2013, with Manufacturers such as Samsung, Motorola itself and many others, including several installed in China, offering interesting alternatives. Xiaomi, which this year aspires to surpass itself by selling 100 billion smartphones, you cannot allow that many of them surpass your proposal in the subject of the RAM, that with 1GB it is a little short.
Hence, just 15 days after its launch, a version with 2GB of RAM. We have discovered it thanks to the certifying entity of the Asian country, the well-known Tenaa. There are no more changes to the original data sheet, so we assume that the price will not vary excessively either, it will most likely remain the same. Now, the Redmi 2 is ready to be one of the best-selling terminals in the history of Xiaomi as well as one of the best-sellers of 2015. Its role will be key for the firm to achieve its ambitious goals.
