Build and Display
Featuring a plastic construction, Xiaomi Redmi Note Prime did not betray its budget classification in terms of look. The big handset measures 154 x 78.7 x 9.4 millimetres, while tipping the scale at 185 grams.
This will be a bit heavy if you have been used to smaller, lighter phones. Xiaomi Redmi Note Prime packs a huge 5.5-inch LCD capacitive touch display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels for a pixel density of approximately 267 ppi. The IPS panel delivers wide viewing angles of almost 180 degrees.
Camera and Storage
Xiaomi Redmi Note Prime is decked out for awesome image capturing with an impressive pair of 13-megapixel rear and 5-megapixel selfie cameras. These snappers will ensure you capture more people and scenery in your shots.
Target person(s) or object(s) are well accentuated with objects in the background softly blurred out. Internal storage capacity is a generous 16 GB, which should easy hold several thousands of photos and songs. Memory expansion by a maximum of 32 GB is also supported.
Performance and OS
Under the hood, the Redmi Note Prime rocks a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor with Cortex-A5 architecture for 50 percent more power. The 64-bit chip is paired with a decent 2 GB of RAM and an Adreno 306 GPU for superb graphics and enjoyable gaming experience.
The software used for the device – Android 4.4 KitKat – may be considered a let-down in an age when Lollipop is increasingly becoming the minimum standard. Possibly on the bright side, the OS is customised with Xiaomi’s MIUI 7 user interface which boosts response time and battery life.
