Xiaomi Redmi S2 has been launched and the spec is not far fetched from the rumored specifications we posted earlier.
The Xiaomi Redmi S2 sports a 5.99” screen with HD+ resolution. There are no buttons or sensors on the front – the fingerprint scanner is sitting on the back, while the UI navigation is done via onscreen keys.
The Redmi S2 is powered by the Snapdragon 625 chipset and runs MIUI 9 over the latest available stable Android version – 8.1 Oreo. The SoC has an octa-core CPU, clocked at 2.0 GHz and Adreno 506 GPU.
The Redmi S2 packs a AI-assisted 16 MP selfie snapper with LED flash. The rear setup is the same 12 MP + 5 MP combo with EIS that we saw on the Redmi Note 5 Pro.
The Xiaomi Redmi S2 comes 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage and 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage with dedicated MicroSD card slot.
The smartphone comes with a FingerPrint ID sensor and also Face unlock. Battery wise, it is fueled by 3080mAh battery capacity.
It will be priced at $160 (N57600) for the 3GB Ram and $204 (N73440) for the 4GB Ram.

Xiaomi producing good phones…hope I get to use one of their product one day
This phone will move sales for them massively. Really sick specs!
The price isn’t bad except for the battery which is not encouraging at all. Spec wise, its ok to me
Still don’t know why this low end user phone manufacturers are not competing with the bigger guys. Just look at this device, it has everything that one could possibly need.
A very good device with an enticing price, definitely going to make sales
Good. Those who are still wasting their money on samsung phones better repent now.
Do we have Xiamoi offices in Lagos ikeja…
Its high time we start patronizing Xiamoi device
nice specs.
I love their products can’t wait to get this one.
Nice phone but the battery is not that okay
Affordable with very good specs except the battery though
Nice one prof kudos but my issues with them is that their phones are costly be it budget phone or high end price compared to other brands e.g Leagoo
The battery is quite not encouraging. Nice specs though
These phone companies should know that we don’t joke with battery power in Nigeria. 3080 is no juice
Great device but the battery is a turn off
Very good device.
Nice one Xiaomi.

These phones are great but not meant for the Nigerian market due to epileptic power supply. The battery is juat too low for a phone of this spec
Xiaomi is really trying. I’m currently using their Redmi Note 4x and I can say their products live up to expectations. I just do hope that they don’t tarry before they bring their service/ customer service centre to Nigeria
where to buy this phone?
