The Xiaomi Indian smartphone market is still dominating feature rich Redmi series with its valuable money. Whether it’s Allrounder Redmi Note 5 or Trickled-Down is yet more Pocket-Friendly Redmi 5, Xiaomi has got to cover the competition in the Indian budget smartphone segment. Last year, Redmi unveiled Y series was to satisfy those who prefer the performance, especially in front of cameras and all the other things the performance of the camera. Y1 ( a re-engineered Redmi Note 5 from China ) was the first model in the lineup from China, which will help achieve decent numbers of a cash register. However, Y1 left a lot, especially when it came in display and aesthetics. Since then, the Budget Smartphone Segment has evolved, which brings modern and premium features from expensive levels, so that Xiaomi is forced to bring it into the second generation of the series after only seven months, called Redmi Y2.
The new phone promises to catch the vulnerabilities of Y1 while moving the game ahead of the camera performance itself is now linked to the power of AI. For the price of $ 9,999 for the 3 GB / 32GB version and Rs. 12,999 for a 4 GB / 64 GB version, this is Xiaomi’s weapon against a selfie-centric smartphone from OPPO and Vivo. However, it also sits with Redmi 5 and Redmi Note 5, which poses a threat to the current budget arsenal of Xiaomi, so the Redmi Y2 is actually the nose of Xiaomi against offering from Oppo and Vivo, or simply ‘just another XIAOIMI ‘with existing cameras to share existing Redmi models? Let’s find out.

Redmi Y2 Design And Built:
Y2 – Plastic has been replaced with the premium metal build, which makes it more recognizable as the most expensive Redmi Note 5 Pro at first sight. However, instead of borrowing a design from mainstream Radmi phones, Xiaomi has given the Y2 micro touch to separate with impressive details. There is a metal-metal connection to the chassis, which does not have any plastic caps above or below. Dual-band antenna design looks elegant on top and bottom edges and Y2 stands out from its rivals. The curved back panel provides better session usage. For the first time, the vertical dual camera setup on Radmi Note Pro 5 mixes well with the overall aesthetics of the phone.
Y2 is a modern 18: 9 tall display that decorates with narrow bezels around. An LED flash flaunts with forehead front camera and other sensors. Chin is quite thick, the last generation of models with no physical navigation buttons – Y 2 on-screen navigation buttons or similar gesture to her cousin.
Redmi Y2 Display:
Redmi Y2 5.99-inch plays 18: 9 LCD panel which throws pictures at the resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels. Therefore, you do not have to present the best Xiaomi in this regard. However, what you are receiving is a vibrant display with the level of good brightness and wide viewing angles.
Whether you’re catching up on the latest YouTube Gag or scrolling through your favorite blog, the Redmi Y2 display will not be disappointed. Curved edges also have the feeling of ‘premiumness’, which is usually limited to many screens above Y2. A lower screen resolution ensures performance and battery life benefits (more on that) However, the sunlight is low.
Redmi Y2 performance:
Xiaomi has got great access to Qualcomm’s mid-range Snapdragon 625 chipset for its full affordable smartphone lineup. It seems that Xiaomi still thinks SD 625 is capable of handling new software in 2018, that’s why they put it in Redmi Y2. Closed at 2.0GHz and eight Cortex-A53 cores, it is one of the most powerful efficient chipsets. However, Geeks might argue that Xiamy was enhanced to Snapdragon 636 from the Redmi Note 5 Pro, which is far better when talking about performance.
Xiaomi will offer Y2 with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB onboard storage. You can also extend the storage up to 256 GB of storage with dedicated micro SD card slot. And yes, Redmi Y2 Android 8.1 is India’s first Xiamy smartphone launching with MIUI 9.5 on Oreo basis. At first glance, the parts of Redmi Y2 Xiaomi look like a good mix of N-match with proven components.
Redmi Y2 also carries on this front, which provides a comfortable backup of the same day, even if it has been stressed on many demanding tasks. Whether you are busy clicking on different angles and uploading them to your social feed for extended sessions, or simply bing-watching Netflix or YouTube, the Y2’s 3080 mAh battery is having a one-day stamina.
Redmi Y2 Camera:
There is a 16 MP front camera with AI-based Beautify 4.0, which can be used for users. Xiaomi also claims that they use ‘super pixel’ technology to increase the photo more. In short, the front camera depends on pixel binning to combine four pixels and collect the light as a large 2.0μm pixel. Y2’s front camera with its clever algorithm managed to snatch some stunning looking images in different light conditions. In the light of day, there is a decent amount of details with enough brightness and vibrant colors. Auto-beautification algorithms work well with male faces, without any tweaking which seems unnatural. In fact, most shots of the shots we are running with are software-based portrait mode works well, which has a profound field effect like Google Pixel 2. Bokeh effect is in real-time, which helps you adjust the frame. The distinction between subject and background is most accurate, and the mood effects are also provided at the natural level.
