If the rumours are true, then Xiaomi will be launching an MTK based phone next month, but if you want something with Mi2 styling for less you might want to take a close look at the quad-coreSmall Cosmic.
The Small Cosmic is one of the very few quad-core MT6589 phones which will ship with a smaller 4.5-inch display, which makes the phone very attractive to those of us who aren’t quite sold on the idea of a 5-inch phone.

Although this phone has a smaller 720HD display, it’s still going to be quite the performer due to the 4-core CPU and 1GB RAM. Other highlights include an 8 mega-pixel rear and 2 mega-pixel front camera both of which can be boosted with 12MP and 5MP though software tweaks, SD card slot for up to 64GB cards and 1800 mAh battery.
Overall dimensions of the phone are confirmed to be 135 x 68 x 9mm. The Small Cosmic will go on sale early next month at the low price of just 799 Yuan ($128)
Give the resolution of the screen it should be enough, the Jiayu G3 has the same screen and 1GB of RAM seems good enough.
I think 2GB of RAM is mostly marketing stuff, it’s doubtful you will need that much.
