Iako Xiaomi nije toliko poznat u Europi^(Europe) ili Americi , u ^(Americas)Aziji^(Asia) je vrlo veliko ime , posebno kada su u pitanju pametni telefoni i drugi mobilni uređaji. Nedavno su lansirali novi jeftini Android pametni telefon koji se prodaje i na zapadnim tržištima. Zove se Xiaomi Redmi 2 i obećava da će ponuditi vrlo pristojno Android korisničko iskustvo, po prilično niskoj cijeni. Imali smo priliku igrati se s ovim pametnim telefonom skoro 2 tjedna i, nakon puno sati testiranja, spremni smo podijeliti s vama ono što smo naučili u ovoj recenziji:

Specifikacija hardvera i pakiranje

Xiaomi Redmi 2 je pametni telefon koji dolazi u prilično spartanskom pakiranju. Riječ je o jednostavnoj kartonskoj kutiji koja ne otkriva puno o svom sadržaju. Na prednjoj strani vidite samo Mi logo. Na poleđini kutije možete dobiti neke ispisane informacije, ali većina je napisana na kineskom^(Chinese) .

Xiaomi Redmi 2^{(Xiaomi Redmi 2)} je prvo što vidite kada otvorite paket.

Zatim, naslagani jedan na drugi, dobivate jamstveni list pametnog telefona, njegov brzi vodič za početak, punjač i odvojivi USB kabel. Nažalost, ne dobivate slušalice, ali to je danas za mnoge proizvođače postalo normalno.

Xiaomi Redmi 2 dostupan je u 5 različitih boja: crnoj, bijeloj, žutoj, ružičastoj i zelenoj. Kao što ste mogli primijetiti na slikama prije, model koji smo testirali je crna varijanta.

Redmi 2 dolazi s 4,7 inčnim IPS LCD zaslonom, s HD rezolucijom od 720 x 1280 piksela pri gustoći piksela od 312 ppi. Smartfon radi na četverojezgrenom procesoru od 1,2 GHz , 1 GB RAM memorije i Adreno 306 video čipu. Također dobivate 8 GB internog prostora za pohranu i microSD utor koji možete koristiti za dodavanje microSD kartice do 32 GB. Redmi 2 napaja prosječna litij-ionska polimer baterija od 2200 mAh.

Glavna kamera koristi Omnivision senzor slike od 8 megapiksela, ima leću od 5 elemenata, autofokus i bljeskalicu. S prednje strane imate kameru od 2 megapiksela.

Mogućnosti povezivanja koje dobivate uključuju microUSB 2.0 port, Bluetooth 4.0 i bežičnu podršku za standarde 802.11 b/g/n.

Xiaomi Redmi 2 izrađen je samo od plastike, njegove dimenzije tijela su 134 x 67,2 x 9,4 mm (5,28 x 2,65 x 0,37 in) i težak je samo 133 grama (4,69 oz).

Za više informacija i detaljne specifikacije, provjerite službenu web stranicu Xiaomija^(Xiaomi) , ovdje: Xiaomi Redmi 2 Specifikacije^{(Xiaomi Redmi 2 Specifications)} .

Xiaomi Redmi 2 je mainstream pametni telefon namijenjen korisnicima koji paze na proračun. Njegov četverojezgreni CPU od 1,2 GHz, 1 GB RAM-a i kamera od 8 MP trebali bi vam osigurati ugodno iskustvo s Android pametnim telefonom.^{(The Xiaomi Redmi 2 is a mainstream smartphone targeted at budget conscious users. Its 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU, 1GB of RAM and 8MP camera should ensure that you will have a pleasant Android smartphone experience.)}

Kvaliteta dizajna i izrade

Xiaomi Redmi 2 ne impresionira kada je u pitanju dizajn. Nemojte nas pogrešno shvatiti, pametni telefon nije ružan niti loše građe. Osjećamo se kao da je to "vrlo uobičajen" pametni telefon.

Zaslon je sa svojih 4,7 inča poprilično velik za jeftin pametni telefon i dobro je što mu je sva površina upotrebljiva. To je zbog činjenice da su gumbi Nedavne aplikacije, Početna^{(Recent Apps, Home)} i Natrag^(Back) kapacitivni i smješteni su ispod zaslona. Svidjela nam se i crvena boja kojom je Xiaomi oslikao ove tipke.

Gumb za uključivanje i tipku glasnoće nalaze se na desnoj strani pametnog telefona, negdje na vrhu. Smatrali smo da je ovo pozicioniranje ugodno, čak i kada se uređaj koristi samo jednom rukom.

Tijelo je napravljeno samo od plastike, ali i to ima neke prednosti. Kao prvo, Xiaomi Redmi 2 je lagan i jednostavan za nošenje. Drugo, okrugli rubovi i teksturirana površina stražnje ploče olakšavaju držanje.

Kao što smo već spomenuli, Xiaomi Redmi 2 ima 4,7 inča IPS LCD zaslon koji ima rezoluciju od 1280 x 720 piksela pri gustoći piksela od 312 ppi. IPS ploča znači da dobivate lijepe boje, dobar kontrast i široke kutove gledanja. Rezolucija i gustoća piksela su prosječne, ali to je za očekivati ​​od jeftinog pametnog telefona. Zaslon također ima koristi od senzora ambijentalnog svjetla, tako da može automatski zatamniti ili posvijetliti svoju površinu ovisno o svjetlu oko vas. Međutim, zbog sjajne površine i prilično niske razine maksimalne svjetline, teško smo vidjeli ekran kada smo bili na otvorenom, na izravnom suncu.

Xiaomi Redmi 2 je prosječan pametni telefon kada je u pitanju dizajn. Tijelo je potpuno plastično i zaslon nije čitljiv kada ste na otvorenom, pri jakom svjetlu. Međutim, Xiaomi Redmi 2 je dobro izrađen i ne djeluje kao krhki uređaj.^{(Xiaomi Redmi 2 is an average smartphone when it comes to its design. The body is all plastic and the display isn't readable when you are outdoors, in bright light. However, the Xiaomi Redmi 2 is well built and doesn't feel like a fragile device.)}

Iskustvo pametnog telefona^{(Smartphone Experience)} na Xiaomi Redmi 2

Xiaomi Redmi 2 podržava 4G mobilne mreže i nismo primijetili pad signala kada smo ga koristili. Međutim, kvaliteta naših telefonskih poziva nije bila najbolja. Mnogi od telefonskih poziva koje smo obavili bili su ispunjeni zvukovima ili nepotpunim riječima. Osobe s kojima smo razgovarali nisu imale iste probleme, pa sumnjamo da je kvar vezan uz zvučnik za uši koji se nalazi na Xiaomi Redmi 2 . Zauzvrat, korištenje zvučnika radilo je puno bolje, telefonski razgovori su bili puno jasniji.

Kvaliteta zvuka je dobra, pogotovo kada koristite slušalice. Zvučnik je također pristojan, ali glazba zvuči pomalo ravno. Međutim, gledanje filmova ili YouTube isječaka je razumno.

Xiaomi Redmi 2 pokreće MIUI 6.4.3.0 , modificiranu verziju Androida 4.4.4 ^{(Android 4.4.4)} Kitkat . MIUI skin^(MIUI) nudi prekrasno sučelje, iako je optimiziran za brzinu. No, vjerojatno zato što hardver nije baš high-end, primijetili smo poprilično zaostajanja pri korištenju Redmi 2 . Ti se zastoji pojavljuju uglavnom pri prijelazima i animacijama, a posebno kada držite više aplikacija otvorenih u isto vrijeme.

Kada je riječ o iskustvu kamere, Redmi 2 je opet prosječan. Omnivision senzor^(Omnivision) slike pomaže vam da dobijete dobre fotografije, ali ne baš brzo. Snimanje slike u maksimalnoj rezoluciji i s uključenim HDR - om može potrajati čak 3 do 4 sekunde. To je dosta dugo za današnje standarde.

Baterija od 2200 mAh također je dovoljna da vaš pametni telefon radi jedan dan ili čak i više, ovisno o tome kako koristite uređaj.

Sve u svemu, Xiaomi Redmi 2 je pametni telefon srednjeg ranga koji nudi pristojno iskustvo. Čak i ako ima svojih nedostataka, sve su to uobičajene u ovom cjenovnom rangu. Nadalje, ako uzmete u obzir i ono što nude njegovi glavni konkurenti, Redmi 2 bi mogao biti dobar posao.^{(Overall, Xiaomi Redmi 2 is a mid-range smartphone that offers a decent experience. Even if it has its flaws, these are all common at this price range. Furthermore, if you also take into consideration what its main competitors offer, Redmi 2 might be a good deal.)}

Iskustvo kamere^(Camera) na Xiaomi Redmi 2

Glavna kamera na Xiaomi Redmi 2 ima 8 megapiksela, koju isporučuje Omnivision senzor slike. Također ima koristi od LED bljeskalice za snimanje fotografija u uvjetima slabog osvjetljenja. Prednja kamera ima samo 2 megapiksela i preporučujemo da je koristite samo za video pozive. Ako želite s njim snimiti selfije, rezultati nisu tako dobri.

Softver kamere omogućuje nudi HDR mogućnosti^{(HDR capabilities)} , značajku koju ne možete pronaći na mnogim pametnim telefonima s niskim cijenama, bilo da se radi o Androidima^(Androids) ili Windows telefonima^(Phones) . Također možete snimati panorame, koristiti ručne postavke ili dodati posebne efekte bez potrebe za instaliranjem aplikacija trećih strana.

U galeriji ispod možete pogledati neke fotografije koje smo snimili s Xiaomi Redmi 2 . Uključili smo nekoliko fotografija snimljenih vani po sunčanom danu, panoramu, nekoliko krupnih planova, ali i nekoliko fotografija u zatvorenom prostoru. Sve fotografije su snimljene s automatskim postavkama, a neke od njih i s uključenim HDR - om.

Xiaomi Redmi 2^{(Xiaomi Redmi 2)} može snimati videozapise u Full HD rezoluciji (1080p pri 30fps). Videozapisi se spremaju s brzinom prijenosa videa od 15 Mbps i brzinom prijenosa zvuka od 96 Kbps .

Uzorak u nastavku dat će vam bolju ideju o tome koliko dobro Xiaomi Redmi 2 snima dinamične videozapise.

U sljedećem primjeru videa koristili smo Xiaomi Redmi 2 za snimanje panorame. Ova vrsta videozapisa pokazuje kako kamera obrađuje više statične videozapise.

Xiaomi Redmi 2 nudi pristojnu, ali prosječnu kameru. Nije najbrže, niti najbolje iskustvo s kamerom, ali je dobro za pametni telefon niske cijene.^{(Xiaomi Redmi 2 offers a decent but average camera. It's not the fastest, nor the best camera experience, but it's good for a low priced smartphone.)}

Reviewing Xiaomi Redmi 2 - A Chinese Budget Smartphone With Android

While Xiaomi is not so well known in Europe or Americas, it is a very big name in Asia, especially when it comes to smartphoneѕ and other mobile devices. Recently, thеy launched a new budget Android smartphonе that is also sold on western markets. It's cаlled Xiaomi Redmi 2 and promises to offer a very decent Android user experience, at a rather low price point. We had the chance to play with this smаrtphone for almost 2 weeks and, after a lot of testing hоurѕ, we're ready to share with you what we've learned, in this review:

Hardware Specification & Packaging

Xiaomi Redmi 2 is a smartphone that comes in rather spartan package. It's a simple cardboard box that doesn't reveal much about its contents. On its front, you only see the Mi logo. On the back of the box you do get some printed information, but most of it is written in Chinese.

The Xiaomi Redmi 2 is the first thing you see when you open the package.

Then, stacked one upon another, you get the smartphone's warranty card, its quick start guide, a power charger and a detachable USB cable. Unfortunately, you don't get any headphones, but that seems to become something normal for many manufacturers nowadays.

Xiaomi Redmi 2 is available in 5 different colors: black, white, yellow, pink and green. As you might have noticed from the pictures before, the model we tested is the black variant.

Redmi 2 comes with a 4.7 inch IPS LCD display, with a HD resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels at 312 ppi pixel density. The smartphone runs on a quad-core 1.2 GHz processor, 1GB of RAM memory and an Adreno 306 video chip. You also get 8 GB of internal storage space and a microSD slot which you can use to add a microSD card of up to 32 GB. Redmi 2 is powered by an average 2200mAh lithium-ion polymer battery.

The main camera uses an 8 megapixels Omnivision image sensor, has 5 element lens, autofocus and flash. On the front, you get a 2 megapixel camera.

The connectivity options you get include a microUSB 2.0 port, Bluetooth 4.0 and wireless support for 802.11 b/g/n standards.

Xiaomi Redmi 2 is built only from plastic, its body dimensions are 134 x 67.2 x 9.4 mm (5.28 x 2.65 x 0.37 in) and weighs only 133 grams (4.69 oz).

For more information and detailed specs, check the Xiaomi official website, here: Xiaomi Redmi 2 Specifications.

The Xiaomi Redmi 2 is a mainstream smartphone targeted at budget conscious users. Its 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU, 1GB of RAM and 8MP camera should ensure that you will have a pleasant Android smartphone experience.

Design & Build Quality

Xiaomi Redmi 2 doesn't impress when it comes to its design. Don't misunderstand us, the smartphone is not ugly or poorly built. We just feel like like it's a "very common" smartphone.

The display, with its 4.7 inches, is quite large for a budget smartphone and it's a good thing that all its surface is usable. This is due to the fact that the Recent Apps, Home and Back buttons are all capacitive and are positioned below the screen. We also liked the red color Xiaomi used to paint these buttons.

The power button and the volume rocker are all found on the right side of the smartphone, somewhere to the top. We found this positioning to be comfortable, even when using the device with only one hand.

The body is built only with plastic, but there are some advantages to that too. For one, Xiaomi Redmi 2 is light and easy to carry. Secondly, the round edges and the textured surface of the back plate make it easy to hold.

As we mentioned before, Xiaomi Redmi 2 has a 4.7 inches IPS LCD screen that features a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels at a 312 ppi pixel density. The IPS panel means you get nice colors, good contrast and wide viewing angles. The resolution and the pixel density are rather average, but that is to be expected from a budget smartphone. The display also benefits from an ambient light sensor, so it can automatically dim or brighten its surface depending on the light around you. However, because of the glossy surface and the rather low maximum brightness level, we found it difficult to see the screen when we were outdoors, in direct sunlight.

Xiaomi Redmi 2 is an average smartphone when it comes to its design. The body is all plastic and the display isn't readable when you are outdoors, in bright light. However, the Xiaomi Redmi 2 is well built and doesn't feel like a fragile device.

The Smartphone Experience On Xiaomi Redmi 2

Xiaomi Redmi 2 supports 4G mobile networks and we didn't notice any signal drops when we used it. However, the quality of our phone calls was not the best. Many of the phone calls we made were filled with noises or incomplete words. The persons with whom we talked didn't have the same problems, so we suspect that the fault is related to the ear speaker found on the Xiaomi Redmi 2. In turn, using the loudspeaker worked much better, phone conversations were much clearer.

The audio quality is good, especially when you use headphones. The speaker is also decent, but music sounds a bit flat. However, watching movies or YouTube clips is reasonable.

Xiaomi Redmi 2 runs MIUI 6.4.3.0, a modified version of Android 4.4.4 Kitkat. The MIUI skin offers a beautiful interface, even though it has been optimized for speed. However, probably because the hardware is not exactly high-end, we noticed quite a few lags when using Redmi 2. These lags appear mostly at transitions and animations, and especially when you keep multiple apps opened at the same time.

When it comes to the camera experience, Redmi 2 is again average. The Omnivision image sensor helps you get good photos, but not very fast. Taking a picture at maximum resolution and with HDR turned on can take even 3 to 4 seconds. That's quite a long time for today's standards.

The 2200 mAh battery is also enough to keep your smartphone running for a day or even more, depending on how you use the device.

Overall, Xiaomi Redmi 2 is a mid-range smartphone that offers a decent experience. Even if it has its flaws, these are all common at this price range. Furthermore, if you also take into consideration what its main competitors offer, Redmi 2 might be a good deal.

The Camera Experience On The Xiaomi Redmi 2

The main camera on the Xiaomi Redmi 2 has 8 megapixels, delivered by an Omnivision image sensor. It also benefits from a LED flash for when you take photographs in low light conditions. The front camera has only 2 megapixels and we recommend you use it only for video calls. If you want to take selfies with it, the results are not that good.

The camera software allows offers HDR capabilities, a feature that you don't find on many budget smartphones, be they Androids or Windows Phones. You can also shoot panoramas, use manual settings or add special effects without the need to install third-party apps.

In the gallery below, you can take a look at some photos we took with Xiaomi Redmi 2. We included a few photos taken outside in a sunny day, a panorama, some close-ups, but also a few indoor photos. All the photos were taken with auto settings, and some of them also with HDR enabled.

The Xiaomi Redmi 2 can record videos at Full HD resolution (1080p at 30fps). The videos are saved with a 15 Mbps video bit rate and a 96 Kbps sound bit rate.

The sample below will give you better idea on how good the Xiaomi Redmi 2 records dynamic videos.

In the next video sample, we used Xiaomi Redmi 2 to capture a panorama. This type of video shows you how the camera handles more static videos.

Xiaomi Redmi 2 offers a decent but average camera. It's not the fastest, nor the best camera experience, but it's good for a low priced smartphone.
