Xiaomi "enhanced" version of Redmi 2A contains twice the RAM and ROM at the same price

The Xiaomi Redmi 2A has been a huge seller for the company. Buyers aren't flocking to it because it has high specs. Actually, the opposite is true. Priced at $78 USD, the device doesn't become a drain on the wallet. With more than 10 million units sold, Xiaomi has decided to make the device even better.

Lei Jun, one of  Xiaomi's founders, recently said that for the best user experience a smartphone must have 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. Considering that the Redmi 2A offers 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory, the model falls short of Mr. Lei's performance levels. So Xiaomi has decided to sell an "enhanced" version of the Redmi 2A.

As you might expect, the enhanced Redmi 2A will come with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. And the best news for consumers, is that the price of the phone will be the same $78 that the regular model was being sold for. The Xiaomi Redmi 2A enhanced edition will launch in China this Wednesday, November 11th.

The Xiaomi Redmi 2A features a 4.7-inch screen, carrying a 720 x 1280 resolution. That works out to a pixel density of 312ppi. The Leadcore LC1860 SoC is under the hood, containing a quad-core 1.5GHz CPU. An 8MP camera adorns the back, with a 2MP shooter in front for selfies and video chats. Keeping the lights on is a 2200mAh battery, and there is a dual SIM slot on board.

With the new version of the Redmi 2A made available for the holiday shopping season, we wouldn't be surprised to see the phone ring up quite a large number of sales in the weeks ahead.
