Display and Camera

Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime is fitted with a 4.7-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and a pixel density of 312 ppi, which should make for decently enjoyable viewing. Being an IPS panel, the display should offer some level of wide-angle viewing.

The screen is protected with scratch-resistant Dragontrail glass. Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime is equipped with an 8-megapixel main camera with F2.2 aperture size, LED flash, autofocus and back-illuminated sensor to help you take some spectacular shots.
