Xiaomi Launches Redmi Y2 with 16MP AI front camera & Snapdragon 625 to Compete Realme 1 at just Rs.9,999
Today finally Redmi unveiled their selfie smartphone 2.0 i.e. Redmi Y2. With lots of speculations and rumors about the new smartphone which has a tag of “the real youth phone”, it was quite sure Redmi is up to something to counter the new hero “Realme 1″…
Now, is the smartphone worth its predecessor? Yes, indeed it is. It has all the needed features that a mid-ranged smartphone should have. And also this smartphone has been purely made for youth who love clicking photos…
Interestingly which I personally liked is that the Redmi Y2 not only has a good “AI-camera” but also, a dual camera at the rear end. This will help you to snap great pics, no matter where you go.
Realme 1 boasted of its style, which I think Redmi has kept in mind and designed the Redmi Y2 beautifully. It has lot similar looks like the Redmi Note 5 Pro and also comes in three colors.
Like all other smartphones, this one too comes with lots of AI features in it and interestingly the Redmi Y2 is priced at Rs.9,999… This proves that this smartphone has been purely made for youth just like Realme 1 and to counter Oppo…
