Redmi Y2 (Redmi S2): Price in India

Ever since the Redmi Y2 was rumoured to launch, it was expected to arrive as a mid-ranged offering from Xiaomi which would be priced somewhere in between the Redmi 5 and theRedmi Note 5. The base variant of the Redmi 5 is priced at Rs. 8,999 while the base model of the Redmi Note 5 is priced at Rs.9,999. However, there was a price leak recently of the upcoming, selfie-centric handset which leads us to believe its price would star from Rs.9,999 as well. If this is true, then this price would be for the 3GB RAM + 32GB storage model, while a 4GB RAM with 64 GB storage variant would be priced at Rs.11,999. This is still unconfirmed, and we can expect to get official pricing for the smartphone once the event begins.

The Redmi Y2 is expected to come with a large 5.99-inch 1440 x 720 HD+ resolution IPS LCD display that has an18:9 aspect ratio. Powering the device would likely be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset that has an octa-core CPU clocked at 2.0GHZ alongside an Adreno 506 GPU. There are two storage configurations of the device, but it is uncertain if both will launch in India. Either way, the smartphone is said to have a dedicated microSD card expansion slot for up to 256GB of added storage.
Imaging is the main highlight of this smartphone with a 12MP + 5MP dual-camera setup at the back, while a large 16MP snapper has been placed at the front for selfies.

Xiaomi Redmi Y2 India launch: Specifications and Expected price

Xiaomi is expected to bring the Redmi Y2 as a rebranded version of the Redmi S2 in the Indian smartphone market. The selfie-focused Redmi S2 was introduced in China last year. Redmi S2 was priced in China starting at CNY 999 which converts to Rs 10,600 after translation. We can expect the Redmi Y2 standard version to cost around Rs 9,999 in India for the starting variant, though Xiaomi could price it even lower if one goes by some reports. Redmi Y2 will likely be launched in two variants in the Indian market.
On the specifications front, Redmi S2 features a 5.99-inch HD+(1440 x 720) display with 18:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor paired with either 3GB+32GB storage or 4GB RAM+64GB of storage. This makes it similar to the Redmi Note 5 phone in India, which is also powered by the same Qualcomm processor and a 5.99-inch display. However, Redmi Note 5 has a Full HD display which is 1080p resolution and thus higher than the Redmi Y2. The new smartphone has a dedicated microSD slot and expandable storage support on the phone is up to 128GB.

This will ensure support for Bokeh/Portrait photos even on single sensor cameras, and it will be powered by Artificial Intelligence. MIUI 10 will be used to determine what apps are used most by the user and the OS will launch them faster.

The Redmi Y2 also packs a smart photo editing feature which can remove unwanted subjects from the background. The front camera is also equipped with AI-based Face Unlock, which Xiaomi claims is secure and fast. Interestingly the fingerprint scanner on the back can also be used to click selfies along with unlocking the device.
