Xiaomi never seems to be out of the spotlight and are either lowering prices, launching new products are are rumoured to be bring a new mid-range flagship our way.
We’ve heard news and even seen images of what many believe to be an all new Xiaomi Redmi 2 phone with updated design and faster hardware. Sources believe the phone could be powered with an octacore Snapdragon 615 chipset with 2GB RAM and LTE. What’s more pricing could be as little as 1499 Yuan in China.
Originally sources believed the new Redmi could have a 5.5-inch display, but now analysts believe a 5-inch panel if more likely, the reason being that pricing of 5-inch 1920 x 1080 panels are currently at their lowest making for a very affordable phone.

- Snapdragon 615 octacore CPU.
- 2GB RAM
- 5-inch 1920 x 1080 display.

It all sounds very good to us as does the possible December launch date which would have the phone in the market in time for the Chinese New Year shopping period!What do you think of these specs? Sounds like the perfect mid-range phone or is it to good to be true?
dual sim?
WOW that’s great news if the phone with these specs is confirmed! I wish they will build the phone with a 3000mAh replaceable battery. That’s exactly the type of phone I am looking for! Fingers crossed!
The Adreno 405 GPU of the Snapdragon 615 is between Adreno 320 and 330. Nothing for 2015. For a little more money you will find good “old” Flagship Phones with much better Specs like S800 or S801 for a reduced price.
Here you are: 🙂

Sorry that you missed it, but don’t worry. The next offer will come when the Redmi 2 will have its “possible December launch” – I’m sure! 😉
If you are from Germany and need a good value for money right now look for Sony Xperia Z Ultra for just 222 € all inklusive.
Click at “Gerät ohne Tarif kaufen” than you will get it without a contract!
But I can’t tell you if they send it abroad. Good Luck!
Z ultra also sold for around $350 here in my country. probably the cheapest snapdragon 801 beast you can actually get.
because it’s full of problems with Bluetooth, WiFi NFC, don’t buy those Sonys!
source?? or just blind hate?
my brother with his ZR piece of shit and his friend with Z, both phones with those problems , Sony never reply with their SONY CARE.
Do you want a source, just put on google “SONY ZR,Z1,Z2 WiFi drops out or no Bluetooth, no NFC”
or Just “Sony ZR problems” you will find many pages with issues and most of them with no solutions.
My source? directly I said to my brother “Buy ZR is a little cheaper than Z1 and waterproof!” now I am flashing the crap once a month because lost WiFi.
NFC and Bluetooth are dead.
Cool uh?!
I thought we’re talking about Z Ultra here …
Not everyone buys a phone for the GPU. Personally I don’t play any games on my computer I have a tablet and a computer for that. The closest real flagships that you will find that will match the quality of a Xioami is the One Plus One. Assuming you can actually buy that phone for retail it’s still $50 more, that can be more than “a little” for some people.
