The phone looks identical to its predecessor. In the hands its fits well thanks to its 67.2x134x9.4 mm dimensions. Ergonomic curves on the corners ensure this plastic body phone do not give a slab-like appearance. It is not the lightest phone in this price range at 133g, but won’t pain your arm during long calls or game play either. We have to admit, Xiaomi has paid meticulous attention to details, even for the budget price.
One of the highlight of the phone is its display. The 4.7-inch 720P HD IPS screen is layered with Dragon Trail scratch resistant glass and is one of the brightest in its segment. Under the Sun, text can be read without putting extra strain on eyes.
Xiaomi phone sports powerful Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor under its hood. The same chipset is being used by Motorola in its popular phone Moto G 3rd Generation, which cost almost double the Redmi 2 Prime. Presence of Adreno 306 comes in handy for taking care of graphic requirements. The phone boasts 2GB of RAM and 16GB of Internal storage which is expandable up to 32GB. In our assessment trial, phone handled games like GT racing 2 without a flutter.
