the Redmi 2 is a Qualcomm msm8916 device. That SoC is already well mainlined, for anybody wanting to get an idea about mobile linux, pick a phone of that SoC class (most manufacturers had them) because they're the cheapest at ~30 bucks. It will not be very performant (feels like I/O mostly), but still impressive using phosh for the first time in this formfactor.
