Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime vs. iPhone 6: Which one is the better smartphone?
Xiaomi made waves after it released two Redmi Note 2 smartphones just a few days ago. Now, with Apple set to release its next handset, consumers cannot help but compare the Redmi Note 2 Prime with the iPhone 6.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 was expected, but fans were greeted with a pleasant surprise in the form of the newly released Redmi Note 2 Prime on August 13. Not surprisingly, this new device is now being pitted against new large-screen smartphones including the iPhone 6, according to Jewo City.
In a previous Christian Post report, the Redmi Note 2 Prime's specs have been compared with those of the iPhone 6. Xiaomi, which is considered as the "Apple of China," is known to produce devices that look like iPhones.
The Redmi Note 2 Prime is a more advanced version of the Redmi Note 2. The former has a 2.2-gigahertz chip, 2 GB RAM, and 32 GB storage. The new phone, which has a 5.5-inch full-HD display, is available in 16 GB and 32 GB variants, iDigital Times reports.
The new Xiaomi phone boasts of a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera, plus a 3,060 mAh removable battery. The device, which runs on the Android 5.1 Lollipop, has GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth connectivity. The Redmi Note 2 Prime costs $155.
The iPhone 6 definitely has a smaller screen, which measures 4.7 inches in height. It has an A8 chip, 1 GB RAM, and 16 GB to 128 GB storage. The Apple device boasts of an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 1.2-megapixel front camera, Techno Buffalo states.
However, the iPhone 6 wins a bit over the Redmi Note 2 Prime because it has NFC connectivity, which its Xiaomi competitor lacks. Other iPhone 6 features that are not available in Redmi Note 2 Prime include Touch ID Fingerprint Scanner, Voice over LTE, and WiFi calling. The Apple device costs around $649.
With its higher midrange specs and very affordable price, the Redmi Note 2 Prime appears to be a worthy competitor for the iPhone 6.
