Xiaomi To Launch Redmi 2 In India This Month
Xiaomi is all set to launch the Redmi 2, its next-generation,after the success of Redmi 1S.
The
company is currently running a contest on its India Facebook page Mi India which
features a word puzzle. Participants who are able to find three key
features from the puzzle qualify to get priority access passes to buy
the company's upcoming smartphone. The puzzle includes words such as
'Snapdragon,' 'QuickCharge' and 'expandable' which suggest that Xiaomi
is about to launch Redmi 2.The contest ends March 11, so we can expect the launch to take place
in the next few weeks. The successor to the Redmi 1S, the smartphone went on sale on January 15 in China and costs 699 yuan (approximately Rs 6,800). While
Redmi 2 shares a few features with its predecessor, it has a few
upgrades apart from the 4G-capability. The new model is powered by the
64-bit 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor, while Redmi 1S comes
with the 1.6GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 chipset. The
front camera gets a resolution bump, from 1.6MP in Redmi 1S to 2MP in
Redmi 2. The battery is also slightly beefier at 2,200mAh in the new
smartphone, up from 2,000mAh of Redmi 1S. Xiaomi's Redmi 2 smartphone
also supports QuickCharge 1.0 technology for faster battery charging.
Xiaomi will be preloading the Android 4.4-based MIUI 6.0 software with
Redmi 2, while the Redmi 1S runs on the Android 4.3-based MIUI 5.0
custom skin. The new model is thinner (9.2mm) and lighter (134gram) than
its predecessor (9.9mm and 158gram).
The remaining features of
Redmi 2 are same as that of its older sibling, including the 4.7-inch HD
screen with DragonTrail glass, 8GB internal storage, up to 32GB microSD
card support, 1GB RAM and connectivity options.
