Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime - Pros & Cons

quality was fine and 4G worked well enough in spots with strong reception
fast
saves pictures instantly and is easy to use
The front camera is very basic and good enough for individual
Viewing angles are excellent as expected for an IPS panel
own power banks are great for keeping you juiced up
the phone can run pretty smoothly
The 8-megapixel camera takes pretty good shots as well
Textures on both natural and artificial objects were reproduced well
Smartphones produce awesome images with great color

The camera lens bulges slightly from the upper middle of the rear
there are no quick settings in the notifications shade
speaker is loud but a bit shrill
it does not support wireless charging
slightly bluish tint in some photos that it clicked
2GB RAM this time
The glossy display prevents comfortable use as glare will be inevitable
spotty from our experience even under ideal reception conditions
NTFS format are not compatible
the included camera app is unfortunately buggy on our test model
Prolonged browsing will increase temperatures significantly
Startup time is a little slow
performance sluggish at times
Redmi 2 is slightly smaller when placed side by side
low 1GB of RAM will adversely affect performance
the automatic exposure can be a tad aggressive
