The budget phone from Xiaomi, the Redmi 2 was announced earlier this year in March 2015 and it was priced Rs 6999. When it was launched, it did have amazing specs and also support for dual 4G along with a great camera for a budget phone. But things have changed in the past few months with launch of Yuphoria, Lenovo A6000 Plus and also the Coolpad Dazen 1. All these devices have slightly better specs and priced almost similar to Redmi 2 giving stiff competition.
Recently Xiaomi announced a price cut for Redmi Note and now the company had cut the price of Redmi 2 and it now sells for Rs 5999. The price drops makes the device more competitive.
