Xiaomi has launched Redmi 2 in India today , successor to very popular Redmi 1S .The best thing is that Xiomi has launched Redmi 2 in india just after 2 months of launching it globally which was not the case with Xiomi mi 4. This is my first impressions about the device and will write a full review after getting my hands on it ,the device is available on flipkart.com for Rs 6999.But you will have to register first .
Design
Xiaomi Redmi 2 is very much similar to its predecessor in terms of design , Except the new curvier design .The device looks solid and have a matte finish . Redmi 2 have three capacitive touch sensitive buttons just below the screen . They are same as that were seen on Redmi 1S . Notification light is place below these buttons . Volume rockers and power key are placed on the right side of the device and MI branding on the bottom of the back .
Display
Display on Redmi 2 is exactly the same that was seen on Redmi 1S , Which means you get a 4.7-inch HD Screen . Having a resolution of 1280x720 Pixels . Redmi 2 has said to have better viewing angles and colour production. Overall the Display is very good for this price range .
Hardware
Xiaomi Redmi 2 is powered by a Snapdragon 410 Quad core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz . The processor is based on 64-bit architecture. Xiaomi Redmi 2 comes with 1GB of RAM . The device comes with 8 GB of internal memory and users can also install a MicroSD card upto 32GB .

Overall the hardware specs looks excellent and with dual sim 4G support make Redmi 2 above its rival Moto E (gen2)
Battery
Xiaomi Redmi 2 comes with a 2200mAh battery . Which will last upto 11 hours when fully charged .Will tell you about the battery performance in my full review after testing it
Software
Xiaomi Redmi 2 comes with MIUI 6.3.4 custom skin based on Android 4.4 Kitkat .It is a bit disappointing that Redmi 2 is not coming with latest lollipop android version which is there in rival devices like Moto e . MIUI is one of the cleanest custom skin on android and will not disappoint you on Redmi 2 . The UI is fast and fluid . The phone performs Multitasking also very smoothly with MIUI and 1 GB RAM . But you will miss the flatter and better effects seen on Moto e due to Lollipop update
Camera
Xiaomi Redmi 2 comes with a 8 MP rear camera with LED flash capable of recording video in full hd 1920x1080. The device has a 2 MP front camera for taking selfies and video recording . Through specs camera looks great better than Moto e but will tell you about its performance in my full review
Verdict
Looking at the specifications what Xiaomi Redmi 2 is offering the device looks one of the best in entry level price bracket . Xiaomi Redmi 2 faces a fierce competition from Moto E and few other indian smarphone devices . MIUI skin and dual sim 4G support can be a big advantage for the Xiaomi Redmi 2 but at the same time without lollipop it is also very diificult for the device to compete in the market
