Redmi y1 is being used by my mom now and she is already frustated with it.
We bought redmi y1 at around 9k for my mom from a local shop.my mom started using it and after using it for around 3 days we got to know that battery drains very fast though it has battery of 3000 mah.we thought it might be defective piece so we exchanged it and bought a new one.and the same problem also existed in the new one.there was no internet connection and no extra apps, just it was used for some calls and then also battery drains in half a day which is worst.
When we talk about sound reception, its nothing special in that.it sounds same as other low budget phones and not pleasing anyway.
The look of the phone is ok ok.its thin and easily fits in hand and pocket.but the screen and the clarity of the fonts in the phone is not good.it looks dull and feaky.
But what to do with the look when the phone is not at all userfriendly.when we open whatsapp and chat for sometime, it hangs.moreover when we are using media player for playing songs and change the song, it hangs up as well.there are many more times when it hung up and frustated us.
Finally I would say if ur budget is 9k and u want a good phone, no doubt u should go for any other redmi phone but never ever go for this phone.
