Xiaomi greets its avid consumers by releasing one of their newest model for 2015; the RedMi 2S with amazing features for an entry-level smartphone. If we will compare this to the previous model, this is more compact of course. 

But when it comes to the camera, changes are not really that big with an 8MP shooter from OmniVision. It has a 28mm wide-angle lens with f/2.2 aperture and can shoot 1080p video. On the front is a 2MP/720p camera.
