Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi Y1 is a stylish smartphone loaded with great specifications inside out. You can save a good amount of songs, movies and videos as a massive storage is present under the hood. The addition of a front flash makes the device great for low light video calling. The two good quality cameras, at both ends, capture outstanding photos and record high-resolution videos. You can play heavy games as well as do multitasking without much lags as the powerful configuration comes to the fore. However, a better battery backup would have been a blessing in disguise for the users buying it.
