Comparisons Featuring Xiaomi Redmi Y1 Lite
Short Review
- The Xiaomi Redmi Y1 Lite features a sleek design with dimensions of 153 x 76.2 x 7.6 mm and a weight of 150g, utilizing Gorilla Glass 3 on the front and an aluminum back and frame.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 267 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset, with a quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU and Adreno 308 GPU, paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
- The rear camera is a 13 MP unit with f/2.2 aperture and PDAF, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 3080 mAh, supporting standard charging but lacking wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 7.0 Nougat with MIUI 11, the software experience is functional but may feel dated.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in several colors including Gold, Dark Grey, Silver, and Rose Gold.
