I wanted a phone with good selfie camera and full screen display. I have research so much mobile phones under the 10k price range and the redmi Y2 was the best in the segment.
I bought the phone from amazon.in on the Launch day itself. The phone has an 5.99 inch full screen HD resolution display with good viewing angles.
The main highlight of the phone is its camera. The friend of the phone House essay 16mp camera with soft light and the back houses a dual camera setup with 12 MP main camera and 5mp secondary camera for depth effect. The pictures taken with redmi Y2 are Great with good colour reproduction and sharpness. The portraits taken with the front camera are much better than the redmi note 5 pro due to AI.
Coming to the design aspect the phone looks same as than redmi note 5 Pro which resembles iPhone X. Unlike that MI note 5 pro the redmi Y2 has a plastic back with metallic finish. The phone has a dedicated MicroSD card slot which was not present in the redmi note 5 pro. The phone runs on Android Oreo out of the box with MIUI 9.5 on top of it.
My verdict : - the redmi Y2 is a downgraded version of redmi note 5 pro with downgraded processor and the same camera. Since the redmi note 5 pro is hard to get in the flash sale I would recommend to go for y2 if you have a budget of 10k.
