Unlike the y1 which focused mainly on the selfie camera, the redmi y2 has a bunch of trending features. its look awsome. you get the tall 18.9 ratio display, duel rear camera setup, high resolution front camera, latest version of android and face unlock technology .xaomi even chose to give it a design similar to the popular redmi note 5 pro it is fact, an almost exact relica of the note 5 pro . button placement is the same, duel rear camera and fingerprint scanner placement too. how do you tell them apart? redmi y2 has a plastic body and skips the 2.5D curved front glass. when kept side by side, you can tell that the redmi y2 is not a premium as the note 5 pro . however, thanks to the metallic finish and unibody design, the phone look great and feels well built.
1>DISPLAY- up front 5.99 inch ips display with 18.9 aspect ratio and resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels. this is one of the corners that have been cut to bring the price down. despite a lower resolution, the scree is bright, offers good color reproduction and is easy to read in direct sunlight. The lower resolution works fine for a basic task such as a web browsing and chatting, but when compared to the full HD+ display on the redmi note 5 pro. the lack of sharpness is apparent in photos and videos.
2> Hardware and software- redmi y2 uses the snapdragon 625 processor and 4 gb+ 64 gb are really good. it even managed to run the popular pubg game with graphics set to low. this is the first device to come with 9.5 based android oreo 8.1
3> camera and battery-redmi y2 main purpose is to offer good camera capabilities on a budget. within that purpose, it is a selfie phone first.it has a 16 mp front camera with f2.0 aperture, soft led light flash and al capabilities. its really good front camera. around the back, it has a duel camera setup with a 12 mp primary sensor and 5 mp secondary depth sensor. the protrait mode with add AI is the star here- edge destination is great and it adds a good bokeh to photos. xaomi saya that the AI will learn and improve photos results over time on both the rear and front camera
