A few days ago, Xiaomi announced the Redmi Y2 in India with a lot of emphasis on the front facing camera abilities. Now, the handset will go on sale online at Amazon on Jun 12, 2018, at 12 pm.
During its unveiling in India, Xiaomi claimed that the Redmi Y2 captures great photos in low light with its 16MP AI-powered front-facing camera. The front camera uses a ‘Super Pixel’ process that refers to the combination of four pixels into one single large 2.0um pixel, thereby reducing image noise, getting more light in and improving overall image quality when captured in low light environments. Redmi Y2 offers portrait selfies and digital makeovers with Beautify 4.0, a software that simulates makeup. The Redmi Y2 also has Face unlock, a feature that unlocks the phone using one’s facial details.
A Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor has been added in the Redmi Y2 and this smartphone comes in two variants. The first will feature 3GB RAM paired with 32GB ROM and the second will come with 4GB of RAM along with 64GB of onboard storage.
The screen featured on the Redmi Y2 will be a 5.99 HD+ display with an aspect ratio of 18:9. It sports a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels. The rear of the handset features a dual camera system with a 12MP sensor being the primary one and a 5MP sensor being the secondary camera. Xiaomi has added a 3080mAh battery to the handset.
The latest offering from Xiaomi comes in colours such as Dark Grey, Gold and Rose Gold. The Redmi Y2 is priced at Rs 9,999 for the base version and Rs 12,999 for the 4GB variant.
