With these upgrades, the Redmi 2 becomes a more compelling choice for consumers who are looking for a very affordable Android smartphone. As a quick recap, the Redmi 2 sports a 4.7-inch 720p display, a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 2,200mAh battery, microSD expansion up to 32GB and an 8-megapixel rear camera.

It's not known at the moment whether there is any change in the retail price of the Redmi 2. The original Redmi 2 is expected to cost just S$150.
