Xiaomi Redmi 2A - User Reviews

  • is there any auto reply message option in redmi hm 2A?

  • My MI redmi has broken calibrator, and don't know where to get it. Redmi

  • My phone dont have any service plan

  • You can change the provice service or waiting for they're provice network compatible with your device.

  • Because your device's hardware incompatible with network service.

  • my phone(HM2A) only works in 2g but i see 4g and 3g in settings.why cant my phone get a 4g signal??!!!!

  • My phone work only 2g too, do you have options for work 4g?

  • Super

  • Bought a Xiaomi Redmi 3 in China. Phone is alright in China but whe I am home in the US it becomes very limited. All Apps are Chinese and it is next to impnossible to download western apps. If nevertheless you are successful in downloading Googleplay eventually you will wake up one morning with your western apps disabled automatically. So don't expect a Xiaomi purchased in China to perform well outside of China.

  • This phone is okay to me but ram is only 1GB only authorwise i like this phone

  •  Android OS , v 5.0 is not true.... is android 4.4.4 (Kitkat)...N only for chaina....thanks...

  • churndata customers phone is ok

  • Update to the latest MIUI 8. All lag will be gone.

  • this phn is processor problem

  • Dont buy this phone, Laggy, Battery life not even 6 hours, here is why normal usage of social apps such as Wechat, Whatsapp, or Normal Internet browsing with no videos sets you at 5' hours top. If you used for game or videos or even music plus social apps gets you top maybe 3 hours. Gets over heated easily, blacks out, freezes on you at some points and dont even try to go out to another country with it for example Korea, Japan or Hongkong it wont recognize other Sim Cards even if the info says it does. Oh yes and WIFI not connecting at some times even free hotspots on those countries I mention before. and I had it less than 4 months well cared original from Xiaomi Store, better buy another phone dont waste your money on this crap.

  • hi iam alredy purchase redmi 2 this is very good ph for me

  • is this good phone? tell me friends what are the issues in it.. i want to buy a xiaomi phone.. im in sri lanka

  • rom from Poland !

  • Hi, I'm a Mobile xiaomi redmi 2a eror ussd code But I did not benefit from the site of RAM my country is Iran

  • This set is designed for China only. For people from outside China it is strongly recommended not to buy this one. I am currently using this in Bangladesh and having the following problems: 1. They don't have a Global ROM for this model. (You can check my post in their forumhttp://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread­&tid=129767) 2. USSD codes are not working, though I have updated this one in the latest version. (You can check my post in their forum During that time I used MIUI V6.5.4.0. KHLCNCD and now I am using MIUI V7.1.1.0. KHLCNCK. Still the problem persists. In most of the countries there are several USSD code based services from mobile operators, so if you are using this set certainly you are not going to use those services any more. So think twice before purchase.

  • IMPORTANT -- There are no Custom Roms agailable as of 2016-01-01 -- IMPORTANT The good thing is, there IS an official Developer Rom available, that you really NEED to install if you want to use it in ANY other Country than China. (Link and Instruction here: After you have used the Developer Rom, you should install this Apk: ... With it you get Playstore and most other used Google Apps on your Phone. All in all was I able to remove nearly Every Chinese App from the Phone. Keyword was replaced with Swiftkey, but properbly any other virtual Keyboard App will work too. Only reason was to remove the language change that was still pesent in the default Keyboard. The last remnant that I have seen the last days is the Music App that (if you are online) offers you its ads on the first page in chinese, still looking for a solution for that. So all in all I can say from own experience by now, that teh Cellphone IS able to be nearly completely used in English. Some reports of heat problems I personally can not confirm. YES, it gets warm, but thats something to expect and very far from hot, furthermore I had this only encountered when using (mostly playing) over longer periods of time (30-50 minutes). BUT, can I recommend this Phone to others? That would be a clear NO!! .. Absolutely NOT!! .. As happy as I am NOW, it took quite some time to figure everything out how to get it working the way it does now. Better take a look at the Xiaomi Redmi 2 (without A). It has got a HUGE supporting base and you will have no problems whatsoever in Modding, Customizing and Language.

  • can check balance is all china app m dude phone

  • same here..i purchased the Xiaomi Redmi 2A , can't install any other ROM , add credit and balance checking code not working at all. the phone is lying in my cupboard.

  • Why they don't provided SAR value .SAR value is very important before buying a new phone

  • When lunch?? Date?

  • next sell from filpkart this phone

  • Hi there, I bought REDMI 2 on 28th March 2015 from flipkart. This phone is awesome. Many times I find this better than IPhone 4 & Iphone 5. Go ahead & buy...

  • Can anyone tell me which one is worth to buy among redmi2A and redmi 2? So far i have found this effective info about those mobile - Though i didn't understand the language, but it seems though redmi2A is having lollypop, it's less user friendly as the interface is just MIUI, other hand redmi2 having kitkat but on MIUI6. It shows some lagg in redmi2A in the video. May be due to the leapcore chipset. I had heard Mali is better than adreno, so redmi2A should have a better display than redmi2. But again, in that chipset, not getting properly. I was thinking to buy mobile around budget 6K (INR), had finalised redmi2, with compare to lenovo A6000. Now i am confuse with redmi2A which cost 5K. Is redmi2 worth 2K extra? As they saying redmi2A is going to most worthy mobile to buy. So, any comments?

  • yes where is 2gb ram

  • Hi all, answers to 2 of the TBCs: 1. Card Slot: Yes, support up to 32GB 2. Radio: Yes. Not sure of the screen protection. Should not be Gorilla Glass because no words mentioned in the official words.

  • 4.4 is true. No plan or promise of updating to 5.0 from the official yet.

  • 1. Although by some bench software (Antutu) it got higher scores than RedMi 2, it is still hard to say for real experience. But no doubt that its GPU is much better. 2. It has e-Compass.

  • I've been using it for about 2 weeks. Don't worry about the heating problem for daily usage.

  • Yes, it has.

  • I want to buy this phone ...please confirm...

  • To Be Confirmed?
