Redmi 2 Prime is the Cheapest Phone under it's category like it has 2GB RAM, 16 GB ROM, Camera with Flash etc.
Screen size is also 4.7 inch which is very handy.
It has decent battery life.
Supports 4g.
Internet surfing speed of 3g is very good.
Specifications and software:
As hinted at when the Redmi 2 launched, the Redmi 2 Prime is pretty much identical other than the increased amounts of RAM and storage space. The processor is still a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 with its integrated Adreno 306 GPU, but there's 2GB of RAM now instead of 1GB, and 16GB of storage space instead of 8GB. Nothing else has changed: the screen is still a 4.7-inch 720x1280 fully laminated panel which is still impressive for the budget segment. There's an 8-megapixel camera on the rear capable of 1080p video recording, and a 2-megapixel one on the front. The battery is officially rated at 2200mAh although Xiaomi says it typically holds a little more juice than that: 2265mAh.
Performance:
The Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime is quite snappy and we had no complaints in day-to-day usage, other than the fact that some of the UI animations are sluggish and we felt like they were slowing us down. The red capacitive button labels are very visible in the daytime, but aren't backlit so we had to fumble around at night. We liked the quality of the display, and interestingly, colours are a lot cooler and more subdued than they are on the older Redmi 2, even with both set to the same tone and saturation. The phone's speaker is loud but a bit shrill, and songs or movie clips with complex textures weren't reproduced very well. Call quality was fine and 4G worked well enough in spots with strong reception. The battery lasted 11 hours, 25 minutes in our video loop test which was actually a drop from the Redmi 2's score of 12 hours, 18 minutes.
