Redmi 2A turned out to be one of the best selling smartphones from Xiaomi. We recently came to know that in the past few months, the company managed to ship over 10 million Redmi 2A units. Now, to celebrate the milestone, Xiaomi has cut down the price of the enhanced Redmi 2A version to just $78. That’s the same price as the regular version which usually retails for 499 Yuan ($78).

The biggest difference in the enhanced Redmi 2A version is the 2GB of RAM on board. Along with the increased RAM, the phone also upgrades the storage to 16GB. Lei Jun had earlier said that a smartphone needs at least 2GB RAM and 16GB storage for the best user experience, and this particular device will ensure that experience at just $78. In short, you get better RAM and storage for the same price as the regular version.

As for the other specs, the phone will feature a 4.7-inch 720p display with Leadcore LC1860 quad-core chip clocked at 1.5GHz, 8MP rear camera, 2MP front facing shooter and 2,200mAh battery. The phone also supports 4G LTE networks and comes with a dual SIM card slot.

The Enhanced Redmi 2A Edition with 2GB RAM will go on sale from November 11 in China.

Xiaomi has released so many products in the past few months, that its quite hard to keep a track of all of them. Among the releases this year, the Xiaomi Redmi 2A was particularly special because it was the cheapest Redmi device in the market. In fact, it still is one of the cheapest smartphones with pretty good specs.

Naturally, given that the phone retailed for just 499 Yuan ($80), it was destined to sell like hotcakes. And today, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has just confirmed the numbers. He revealed a few minutes ago that Xiaomi has sold over 5.1 million units of the Redmi 2A in the first three month of launch. This is a significant achievement for a new product like the 2A which yet to reach a number of international markets. To give you a perspective, Meizu managed to sell only about 8.9 million devices in the entire first half of 2015. 

Another thing to note here is the presence of the local Leadcore L1860C quad-core chipset inside the Redmi 2A. Instead of the traditional Qualcomm or Mediatek chips, the company went with the Leadcore SoC to limit the cost and looks the strategy worked well.

Anyways, it will be interesting to see if the momentum continues in the coming months too.
