Xiaomi Redmi Y1 Lite Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Redmi Y1 Lite - self-copying in full swing

The company's product range is often artificially expanded by monotonous, virtually identical models. Unfortunately, the Chinese firm Xiaomi also uses a similar trick. And the hero of today's review fully reveals this fact.

The appearance of the novelty literally repeats the previously released Note 5A in its minimal configuration. Of course, we can't blame for a poor design a high-quality metal and polycarbonate body, pleasing with rounded corners and faces and curved glass of the screen. But something new and original by the developers should still be introduced. To the OGS-display claims are difficult to be made due to the dignity (450 cd/m2) and contrast (1000:1), sufficient for good detailization HD resolution.

Technical specifications are not encouraging, but their application is rational. Firstly, the Snapdragon 425 processor supports 4G, secondly, together with 2GB of RAM and the Adreno 308 video chip, it forms an energy-efficient bundle, guaranteeing both the launch of modern games and 6-7 hours of active screen time from a single 3080mAh battery charge. 16GB of ROM are supplemented with a slot for microSD cards, which provides the ability to store dozens of films and hundreds of music tracks without sacrificing a SIM card.

13 and 5-megapixel photomodules are the necessary minimum for comfortable shooting with mediocre lighting. Pictures do not shine with flagship detailing and extremely natural color reproduction, but they are nice to the eye and will not cause serious complaints even for a very fastidious user. The MIUI based on the latest Android Nougat, support for OTG and an infrared port significantly increase the attractiveness of the non-original but quite interesting device in all respects.
