Xiaomi Redmi Y2: Pros & Cons

7.5
out of 10
MSP SCORE
Pros
The Redmi Y2 comes with a large 5.99-inch display with relatively slim bezels. The front camera is surprisingly good for selfies. The battery also performs quite well. Furthermore, you get a dual SIM option with simultaneous micro SD card expansion on this handset.
Cons
The phone's flimsy plastic construction is a matter of concern. Its display only offer an HD+ resolution. The overall performance is sluggish, and its UI has quite a few bugs. While the phone does come with a 3.5 mm headphone jack, the output audio quality is just terrible.
