Display



Y1 comes up with the display size of 5.5 mm (13.9cm). The IPS LCD capacitative touch screen with a display resolution of 720*1280  which is perfectly handy.

The display shows amazing color and good quality display to watch movies and play games on.

The display is same as it comes in its earlier mobile like Redmi 4a and Note 4. Nothing changes when it comes to display. But at this price it is amazing.

Battery

It has a 3080 mah long life battery which is fabulous. It offers up to 10 hours of video playback, 12 hours of gaming, and 21 hours of reading. 

But u just can’t use a mobile phone like continuously playing games or continuously watch movies. If you are a mobile magnet then I ensure you it can withstand up to 24 to 34 hr.

It also comes up with Miui 9 which gives a little boost in this battery performance

Processor

when it comes to performance y1 surely not gonna disappoint you with its high-speed Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 octa-core processor.

It is capable enough of running all your daily apps smoothly. When it comes to gaming it gives you an enjoyable experience. The bigger game might take some time for loading but once the loading part is done you can enjoy the softness of the game.

As already said the mobile comes up in two variants whether you are gonna buy 3gb Ram or 4gb Ram you are going to ease its performance.

Body Design

The Redmi Y1 takes on a metallic and stylish appearance while maintaining the light weight of 153g.

It is extremely good looking like its older mobile phones.

It comes in three color variants, Dark Grey, Gold, and Rose Gold but the Rose gold variant isn’t available right now.

I personally like to recommend the dark grey variant because of the dark black border of the display. It does not look good with Rose gold and Gold color Variant.

Here you can Clearly see what I am talking about

And remember that Black is always Professional, sexy and stylish it’s my personal opinion by the way.

User Interface

Redmi Y1 is going to hit the market with its all new Miui 9. It gives a better optimization in the battery as well as performance with faster app launches, better notification management.

MIUI 9 with Android 7.1.2 Nougat has been amazing and I love it. A part of me does wish that they released it with Android Oreo though.

The Miui 9 is more stylish and Better in all aspects than Miui 8 as it because of its an advanced version of it.

Camera

Last but very important for this smartphone is its camera quality. It comes with a 13 mp camera with a f/2.2 aperture and a led flash However it’s not the reason it buzzing around its buzzing around because of its 16 mp front facing camera 2.0ap and 13 mp with a f/2.2 ap camera and a led flash at the front as well.

Its camera feature also has lots of filters so you  don’t have to install any other photo editing apps

So this is all its come with a 16 mp front facing camera which I guess shows a great blow to its opponents Oppo and Vivo.

 

 

MI Y1 vs Rivals

As I said earlier, Xiaomi is the bestest budget smartphone in the market with this smartphone Mi Y1 Xiaomi puts his leads on the selfie mobiles too. Talking about its rival Xiaomi Mi Y1 has no competition cause no one can come up with this quality at such an affordable price. Although it has a plastic fancy body it doesn’t create any difference cause as far as the quality matter Xiaomi Redmi Y1 remains a step ahead from its competition.

This combination of good look with the high-quality camera at such an affordable price is hard to get. We recommend this phone to anyone who needs a good looking smartphone with the great camera. Xiami is a more reputable brand than its rival Oppo and Vivo so this Redmi Y1 is a great pick.
