I was previously on Redmi 1S so the camera definitely needs to be better than Redmi 1. Both the front and back. The performance should be equal to Redmi 1 if not better.

If going with Redmi 2 Prime, get rid of MIUI. Else go with Yuphoria with 2 GB ram.

Depends on what you want
If you want stock Android go with Yunique
If you are OK with miui then go with Redmi 2 Prime
And as for the camera I think Redmi 2 has the better of the two

I will most probably root my phone on the first day and switch to CM11 so the ROM is not a issue for me.

Also what difference will the extra 1GB make?

Multitasking takes a hit with 1 GB ram only.

Go with Redmi 2 prime then

Please share your experience. I am considering this soon for my mother.

How limiting will MIUI be if I use another launcher?
