Under the hood sits a Mediatek Helio X10 octa-core chipset paired with a PowerVR G6200 GPU, running Android 5.0 Lollipop with MIUI 7.0 on top. The 5.5-inch IPS LCD display packs a full HD 1080 x 1920 resolution at 403 ppi, sharp enough for reading text and watching video without much fuzziness. With 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage, it's built for basic multitasking rather than heavy app juggling; storage expansion via microSD tops out at 32GB and is limited to the Chinese version.
The rear camera comes in at 13MP with phase detection autofocus and an LED flash, backed by a 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls. A 3060mAh removable battery handles day-to-day use, and the phone still supports dual SIM, LTE Cat4, and an infrared port for remote control functions, a feature that's mostly disappeared from newer phones.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 price in Malaysia starts from RM249, and it's available in white, blue, yellow, pink, and mint green.
