Good device for those who are selfie-obsessed. For other users, go look somewhere else. this is not the device for you

The Good

Good display
Front flash for selfies

The Bad

Average camera performance under low light
Battery life is poor

Xiaomi tried its best in making Y1 their perfect camera smartphone. Still, there are some things which the brand messed up with this smartphone. Let's begin with the battery, this phone is not going to give you a great battery life as other xiaomi devices do. Redmi Y1 being a camera smartphone delivers good pics in daylight but the low-light performance is average which is acceptable for this price point. The front camera, on the other hand gives grainy pictures.

The Good

Good display
Selfie flash is useful
Good daylight camera performance

The Bad

Average low-light camera performance
Grainy front camera output
Underwhelming battery life

Xiaomi Redmi Y1 is designed for those who want to click perfect selfies. The front camera clicks pretty good photos which are perfect at this price. The rest of the hardware seems pretty solid too. You will not face any lagginess during heavy usage. It runs on MIUI 9 which as of now is working smoothly. In this price, you can not expect much from the cameras in the case of low light. Xiaomi is the brand famous for its battery life but with this device, this is not the case.
