Xiaomi could launch redmi 2 tomorrow

A 2200 mAh Li-Po battery (Samsung make) powers up the handset and should give a good backup time. Key features are 4G, 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. Pricing will definitely play an important role, so let’s see what the company will price this at. Redmi 1S closest and biggest competitor is the Lenovo A6000.
