Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime is official with twice the memory, still hovering around $100
“This is like the typical chicken and egg story. Unless there is any smartphone manufacturing happening in the country, you cannot expect to get components locally,” said Barra. For now, Xiaomi will try and meet local demand with the Sri City facility capacity, and doesn't plan to export the Redmi 2 Prime, but the phone is yet another sign on its continued focus on the Indian market, with one of the world's largest growth potential.
The price? Redmi 2 Prime will go for the equivalent of $109, while the Redmi 2 costs just $15 less. Not a bad deal for twice the RAM and storage, isn't it?
