The device comes preloaded with Android 4.4.4 KitKat that is overlaid with Xaiomi’s proprietary MIUI 6 software. Phone Arena adds that the Chinese manufacturer will soon be rolling out Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Redmi 2 Pro.

Meanwhile, on the official Facebook account of Xiaomi, there's a new teaser image exclusively for Indian customers and hints about the company offering something new with a price tag of INR 5,999 on July 7.
