The first thing that you notice when you hold the redmi 2 in your hands is just how lightweight the phone is. Put it on a scale and it will tip the scales at just 4.72 OZ ( 134g) . In terms of materials its an all plastic affair with a matte, polycarbonate finish and a variety of colours options for the back cover, which also happens to be removable. Unfortunately, while this has it’s advantages in the form of easy access to battery, sim cards and micro SD cards myself I love it very nice product from xiaomi
