Like the current trend, Shaomi has also provided face recognition for unlocking the phone. The setup process is very basic. It never asked us to show the face at different angles. During setup, a message came that someone else could unlock the device from your photos. After setting up we used Face Unlock. We found that face recognition was too slow and not even acuerate. Looking at its performance, we suggest that you use the fingerprint sensor only.
Xiaomi has given other apps in this phone with some apps. You will also find some Google apps. With this app like Facebook, Amazon, PhonePe, Netflix and NewsPoint will be installed already. By the way, we did not need storage. In 32 GB storage variants, you will get 22 GB of storage for use. You can uninstall most of these apps if you wish.

Xiaomi Redmi Y2 Performance, Camera and Battery Life.
Snapdragon 625 is a trusted processor that has been part of many popular phones of Shawmo. We did not complain about its performance during use. It handles multitasking firmly. Switching between apps was quite smoother. We have reviewed the 3GB RAM variants which made good results in the benchmark test.
Battery performance depends on your use. If you phone a phone call or spend some time on Facebook and WhatsApp, then the battery will support you throughout the day. If you start playing games on the phone, then there is a fall in battery life. While playing games like Clash Royale, we found that the battery ended more quickly. However, in our HD Video Loop Test the battery lasted 14 hours and 46 minutes, which is complimentary. The phone has a 10-watt charger, which takes about 2 hours to complete the phone.
Using Xiaomi's Camera app is very easy to use. You get a quick toggle for HDR and Flash. You also have the option to apply filters to photos. Other camera modes also have short modes that allow you to record videos of 10 seconds. Also there is video mode and portrait mode. There is also manual mode in which white balance and ISO can be controlled. In Panorama mode, you will be able to take pictures only when you capture the phone in portrait mode.

Selfie is the most important feature of this smartphone, and Redmi Y2 performs well in this department. While taking selfie, it can identify more than one face and it does the necessary beautification inhalation. We found that the phone exposes some selfies to the oven in the outdoor. Self-light becomes active in low-light conditions.
We are satisfied with the images taken from Radmi Y2 to day light. Landscape shots come with a lot of detail. Y2 colors also capture very well. The Macoz shot comes sharper, but the phone takes a little time to focus on your wishes. We have also used portrait mode which gets the depth of field effect with the help of Secondary sensor. The quality of photographs of portrait mode depends largely on the subject's background. If an object is very close to the subject, then there is a problem in the edge detective. If the background is neat then good images can be used with the Redmi Y2.
Low light shots require steady hands, because the camera reduces the shutter speed to capture more light. We also found that the detail in the landscape shot decreases. You will be able to record up to 1080 pixels of video from the rear camera. Quality is better due to electronic image stabilization.

Our decision
is slightly better than the Xiaomi Redmi Y2, the company's old selfie centric smartphone Shaoomi Redmi Y1. It comes with a trustworthy hardware that gives the best user experience with the UI 9.5. Camera performance is good in light of day but weakness in low light. Selfie is the specialty of this smartphone and in this department Y2 gives a strong performance in every circumstance.If Selfie is most important to you, then you can choose the starting price of Rs 9,999, Redmi Y2. By the way, at the same priceBuying a trusted allrounder like Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 ( review ) will be a bigger deal. If you are willing to spend a bit more then you have options like Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1
