The 4.5” Honor Bee has emerged as the Redmi 2’s chief opponent in the market today. It comes fitted with a 1.2 GHz Spreadtrum SC7731 Cortex-A7 Quad Core Processor, 1 GB RAM and Android v4.4 (KitKat) OS. Add to that the 8 MP primary camera and 2 MP secondary camera. The only count it loses out to the Redmi is 4G, but all other do as well. However, at an attractive price tag of just Rs. 4,499, it’s sure to turn heads.
Karbonn Mach One Titanium S310
The 4.7” Karbonn Mach One is another formidable rival to the Redmi 2. It also has a significant edge over the Redmi, both in terms of specs and price. It boasts of a 1.3 GHz MediaTek Quad Core Processor, 1 GB RAM and Android v4.4 OS that’s Upgradeable to v5 (Lollipop). It trumps the Redmi primarily with its superior 5 MP secondary camera and cheaper price of just Rs. 5,750.

The 4.5” XOLO is definitely the weakest in the lot. At a far lower display resolution, internal storage of 4 GB, outdated Android v4.2 (Jelly Bean) OS and deplorable 0.3 MP secondary camera, that too at a price of Rs. 5945, it’s fair to say the Redmi has knocked out the XOLO.
