Review of Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime at a Glance:-

Xiaomi Chinese Smartphone Giant started the culture of providing great features and sell it in low price in mass. Redmi 2 prime low budget Smartphone is featured with 8 MP rear and 2 MP front camera, Snapdragon 410 Quad-core processor, Dual SIM support, 4.7 inches display, 16 GB ROM/ 2 GB RAM and 2200 mAh battery.
The physical design is same as its predecessor Xiaomi Redmi2; phone made up of quality plastic and it is compact enough, 4.7 inches perfectly fits in hand though back cover feels slippery; rear still has the pleasant matte texture. The 3.5mm audio port is on top Micro-USB charging and data port is on the bottom power and volume buttons are on the right.
Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime

4.7 inches IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen is one of nicest display in this price range although it is not protected with any special type of Glass. The sunlight visibility is good along with great wide viewing angle.
Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 Quad-core processor having 1.2 GHz clock speed with MI user-interface gives smooth user experience. It has 2 GB RAM which is double of its predecessor Redmi 2; that obviously enhance its speed to some extent but still when the handset is loaded with some heavy apps and games it starts strucking.
8 MP Omnivision image sensor Camera is quite pleasant as compare to its price, photos taken from camera are pretty vivid, Colours are more glaring than Redmi 2; but when the light goes down the quality degrades accordingly. Although it is sure that in sufficient lightening both front and back camera captures great photographs.
2200 mAh battery is sufficient for a 4.7’ phone. But some battery problems are associated with this handset such as heating i.e. quite common. Some of problem can be solved by OTA update. It has Quick Charge technology Charges quicker than other phones.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Review: Pros and Cons

Review of Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 at a Glance:-

Xiaomi launched Redmi Note 2 with many added features and more optimized handset as successor of Redmi Note. This handset is configured with 5.5 inches display, 13 MP rear & 5 MP front camera, 2 GB RAM & 32 GB ROM, Mediatek 2.2 GHz Cortex-A53 Octa-core processor, 3060 mAh battery.
The handset has quite attractive design and somehow resembled I-Phone 5S, body is made of soft touch plastic rear with a matte finish makes it fit in grip, as we go to input output system in right side the Volume Rockers are located above the power button, headphone jack on top and USB port on bottom, Rear capacitive keys has red coloured backlit useful in dark. Predecessor of this handset Redmi Note was 192 grams in weight while Redmi Note 2 drops down to 160 grams.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 2

The 5.5 inches IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen has Full HD display (1080p) resolutions with 401 ppi display density makes it sharp, vivid and crystal clear. Display offers good sharpness which makes its good sunlight visibility. The touch offers good responsive time and wide viewing angles.
Mediatek MT6795 Helio X10 Octa-core processor with 2 GB RAM gives the Smartphone a smooth interface, phone runs smooth till you don’t make it filled with lots of heavy applications. This handset comes up with MIUI 6 based on Lollipop 5.0.2 and will get MIUI 7 Soon.
13 MP camera takes quite good pictures with fast auto focus in sufficient light but when it comes to low light conditions the camera is struggling to take clear pictures. But when we captures photos from front camera its obviously not disappointing at all.
3060 mAh battery as on papers seems huge but its performance is not up to our expectations but it can deliver at least one full day battery backup.

Xiaomi Mi 4i Review: Pros and Cons

Review of Xiaomi Mi 4i at a Glance:-

The Xiaomi always seems aggressive in providing higher configuration in lower price in this series company has launched Mi 4i Smartphone featured with 13 MP & 5 MP camera, Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 1.7 GHz processor, 5.0 inches  display, 16 GB ROM and 2 GB RAM, 4G LTE support and 3120 mAh battery. The MIUI 6 of Xiaomi Mi 4i is running on top of Android  OS v5.0.2.
When we look over design; it is solid phone in which high-quality plastic is used, power button is on the right side of phone and volume buttons are located just above the power button, as it has 7.8 mm thin with 130 grams of the weight no problem in holding in hands.
Xiaomi Mi 4i

Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615 processor with1.7 GHz clock speed gives satisfactory performance but doing heavy task for longer time causes heating problem in handset while the heating can be reduced to some extent by MiUi update.
IPS LCD capacitive has protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 (scratch-resistant), and display resolution is 1080 x 1920p (Full HD) with 441 ppi display density that makes it sharp and vibrant even the sunlight visibility it is so clear with great Colour reproduction and 178° wide viewing angle.
The camera gives best result in outdoor scenery/ in sufficient lightning conditioning while saturation of camera is a bit higher than normal but picture comes out with 13 MP camera gives good clarity and great details. The low light photographs are not going to impress you. Same case for front facing 5 MP camera.
