I did buy this redmi 2 1gb version on 14th jan 2016. after reading all reviews I have come to the conclusion it is the handset for me. nice display. awesome sound quality both in speaker and headphone. nice camera.bit laggy though in miui 6 . but after having the upgrade to MIUI 7.1 stable version what I have observed.
RAM management has become better . now free ram availability is 350-450 mb . in MIUI 6 it was only 250 mb
processing becomes bit faster
3.more themes and more security added
- battery life has marginally improved
but there are some cons as well
cons no
in MIUI 6 the music out put through headphone was unbeatable . the high volume was unmatched and the bass was out of his world . but after the upgrade to MIUI 7.1 stable the volume has become bit low(10%) and that bass is missing . I hope in next update they will solve it
some times gmail crashes
bit heavy
over all it is a best handset under 6000 rs. No one can give you a handset like this at this price. if you are a music lover through headphone, camera enthusiast, tech savvy . then close your eyes and go for this handset and save minimum 5000 rs which you can invest in other set after 2 years . its not a matter of being poor or rich its a matter of brain. invest logically and enjoy REDMI 2
