Xiaomi Redmi 2 Enhanced - Pros & Cons

own power banks are great for keeping you juiced up
The 8-megapixel camera takes pretty good shots as well
the phone can run pretty smoothly
Textures on both natural and artificial objects were reproduced well
quality was fine and 4G worked well enough in spots with strong reception
soft matte rear cover prevent fingerprints and gives a premium feel
selfie camera is decent too
the display is good
It is one of the best in this price range
The build quality is good and it is compact
the display quality is good
the image quality is good
It is crisp and the viewing angles are good
Viewing angles are excellent as expected for an IPS panel

performance sluggish at times
low 1GB of RAM will adversely affect performance
the automatic exposure can be a tad aggressive
Redmi 2 is slightly smaller when placed side by side
Startup time is a little slow
Battery life is very sensitive to changes in screen brightness
device may be too hot or have other apps running in the background
this setting cannot be enforced by the benchmark app
The camera lens bulges slightly from the upper middle of the rear
speaker is loud but a bit shrill
there are no quick settings in the notifications shade
Redmi 2 sometimes stuttered when running on mobile data
no room for improvement though
the Redmi 2 is still weak is the battery
a risky game for Hugo Barra and gang
lags and stutters are at a bare minimum
Prolonged browsing will increase temperatures significantly
the included camera app is unfortunately buggy on our test model
NTFS format are not compatible
spotty from our experience even under ideal reception conditions
The glossy display prevents comfortable use as glare will be inevitable
the display appears too glossy when used under direct sunlight
lags or app crashes at all
it appeared a bit dull when kept at medium brightness
huge lag in the frames
Ultra-aggressive openers
