Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Xiaomi, has launched two new smartphones – the Xiaomi Mi-S2 and the Xiaomi Mi-2A.

The company, which is rapidly gaining a reputation for being the Apple of the East, is hoping that the new phones will cause frenzy amongst technology enthusiasts.

The key specs of the phones are –
Mi-2S
4.3-inch IPS display with a 1,280 x 720 pixels resolution
Quad-core 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 CPU
2 GB of RAM, 16 or 32gb memory
8MP camera rear camera
2MP camera front camera
2,000 mAh battery
Jelly Bean-based MIUI

Mi-2A
4.5 inch display
Dual-core 1.7 GHz S4 Pro CPU
1 GB of RAM, 16 gb memory
8MP camera rear camera
2MP camera front camera
2,000 mAh battery

At least these phones are not trying to mimic the huge screen sizes we are seeing being released every day. For me there is nothing special about these other than the low cost.
