Xiaomi has been in the Indian market for close to four years now, during which time it has managed to climb up to the number two spot, just behind Samsung. With the top spot in sight, the Chinese company has been steadily widening its portfolio in the country. In the last few months, we saw the introduction of its flagship, the Mi Mix 2 (Review), and the Android One-powered Mi A1 (Review). Xiaomi has launched yet another series in the country this month, dubbed the Redmi Y series. With this move, Xiaomi is looking at a dedicated lineup to cash in on the selfie craze. Its first device, the Redmi Y1, has good specifications on paper, but should it be your first choice? We find out.



 

Xiaomi Redmi Y1 design

One look at the Redmi Y1 and it is safe to say that it carries the family look. We wouldn’t be surprised if you mistook it for the Redmi 4 at first glance. Hold the phone and you will see that the Redmi Y1 is bigger than the Redmi 4, sporting a 5.5-inch display. This selfie-focused phone has a 16-megapixel camera at the front along with a diffused selfie flash. There are non-backlit capacitive touch buttons below the screen for navigation instead of on-screen touch buttons, and the usual sensors above it as well.

Pick the phone up and you will notice that it is fairly light at 153g. Xiaomi has used plastic in its construction, which helps keep the weight down. While the chrome highlights give the impression that it has a metal backplate, the entire rear and sides along with the power and volume buttons are made out of plastic. The 13-megapixel primary camera and the single-LED flash are positioned in the top left corner while the fingerprint scanner is at the centre. The scanner location is convenient making it easy to reach.



The bottom of the phone has the Micro-USB port for charging, and grilles on either side. It also has an IR emitter that some might find handy, located on the top of the phone along with a secondary mic for noise cancellation and a 3.5mm headphone jack. We liked the build quality of the Y1 because it still feels premium despite the plastic. The packaging of the Redmi Y1 is bare basic and so are the contents - in the box you only get a SIM ejector tool, a 10W adapter, and a Micro-USB cable.

Xiaomi Redmi Y1 specifications and features

"If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it", seems to have been Xiaomi’s motto while designing the Redmi Y1. To power the device Xiaomi has chosen the same Snapdragon 435 SoC that is currently powering its Redmi 4 (Review) smartphone. This is an octa-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz. The Y1 has two variants, one with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, and the other with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Pick either and you still get the option to expand storage by up to 128GB using the dedicated microSD card slot.

While the screen size has grown to 5.5 inches compared to the Redmi 4, it still has the same HD 720x1280 resolution. There is 2.5D curved Corning Gorilla Glass for protection. The highlights of the Y1 are its 16-megapixel front-facing camera and diffused selfie flash. There are very few phones that have such a sensor at the front, and the inclusion of the front facing flash increases its appeal. The primary camera on the rear has a 13-megapixel sensor with PDAF and a f/2.2 aperture.



To power the Y1, Xiaomi has used a 3080mAh non-removable battery which is lower capacity than the 4100mAh unit in the Redmi 4. For connectivity, the Redmi Y1 has Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS, AGPS, GLONASS and Beidou support. Sensors on the Redmi Y1 include an accelerometer, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, electronic compass, hall sensor, and gyroscope. There is support for 4G and VoLTE on both SIMs but only one can access a 4G network at a time.

For our review, we had the 3GB/32GB variant of the Redmi Y1 running MIUI 9 Beta on top of Android Nougat. MIUI 9 has quite a few new features. The Redmi Y1 will initially be sold with MIUI 8 but will be updated to the final version of MIUI 9 in the coming weeks. It is unknown whether Xiaomi plans to upgrade the underlying version of Android. If you have used MIUI before, you’ll find yourself at home when navigating through menus and the Settings app, but if you have been used to stock Android or a different skin of Android then you might take some time to adapt to it. Settings are rearranged to some extent and MIUI handles apps permissions a little differently. Once you get a hang of it, you might like the flexibility and convenience that MIUI offers ove
