The USP of the Xiaomi Redmi Y2 is the single 16 MP front-facing selfie camera or the AI-selfie camera.

Display

The smartphone has a modern 18:9 aspect ratio display with slim bezels on the top and bottom part of the smartphone. The display is protected by the unknown version of the 2.5D tempered glass, which will protect the smartphone from day to day accidents. The display uses an IPS LCD panel with 1440 x 720px HD+ panel offering 269 ppi.

Design

The smartphone has a unique metal unibody-like design. However, the smartphone is entirely made of plastic (polycarbonate), which makes this smartphone so light in weight. The Phone has a few curves at the right spot, which makes this smartphone easy to hold in hand.

Android 8.1 Oreo

Only 0.8% of all the Android smartphones are running on the latest Android 8.1 Oreo OS and the Xiaomi Redmi Y2 is one of those. The smartphone offers the latest operating system from Google with custom MIUI 9.5 skin on the top, which introduces features like full-screen gestures and other customizable features.

These are some of the best features of the Xiaomi Redmi Y2. However, there are still a lot of features, which makes the Xiaomi Redmi Y2 a great competitor in the sub Rs 10,000 smartphones.
