Xiaomi Redmi S2 (Redmi Y2) - User Reviews

  • Great phone for the price, but a usd more and get a note 5. Cons: plastic body and 32 bit OS.

  • Miui 11 stable global. ­

  • where is update MIUI 11 for REDMI S2 (global version) vert late...😤

  • where is update MIUI 11 for REDMI S2 (global version)

  • *** I want to ask if you have also experienced the Facebook App issue in the Xiaomi S2, where if there's a "Cant Connect Message" due to slow internet connection. However, even the Internet is all good to go and fast - it wont load or even logout the full Facebook Account, you have to uninstall the FaceBook and reinstall. Do have the same experience? What's the fix on this? Thanks in Advance.

  • Its Have A Problem, After System Update Screen Touch Not Worked. Many Owner Of This Model Devices Facing This Problem.

  • Its Have A Problem, After System Update Screen Touch Not Worked. Many Owner Of This Model Devices Facing This Problem.

  • Yeah of course, it's support usb otg

  • Playing PUBG, MOBILELEGENDS, CALLOFDUTY, all games works perfect, ofc not on maximum graphic, but its works.

  • Yes, it have otg

  • Im playing on it : PUBG, MobileLegends, CallOfDuty, ofc not on maximum grafic, but on low its good.

  • Does it support otg on the go usb

  • Is the audio output of redmi y2 is similar to redmi s2 via headphone jack as in the review loud and accurate?

  • Dear team gsmarena Is this phone best for gamin?

  • Yes, Dual volte is supported.

  • phone can actuakky record 1080p60fps not just 30 fps

  • Dear Team, Please confirm is it Dual volte supported or not

  • How do I activate my camera...Only 5np is working

  • We bought from Amazon India in mid August and we got latest update. The Y2 is running smoothly with no issues thus far. For those disappointed with its gaming prowess, don't expect this phone to be super fast to compete with latest phones. For about Rs 6000 INR, we are very happy with the Y2 specs (4GB-64GB, SD625, 6", etc.) for calling, internet, whatsapp, etc. If you want a phone for more intensive purposes, buy phones exceeding Rs 15,000 or so. Regards

  • No update for region India on my phone. When changed to Russia it received a update. Shall I update it on with region Russia?

  • Bought it on Amazon India...4days...... Still not received any update 😒. Running on MIUI 10.3.1.0.

  • Main Camera has update to able record 60fps at 1080p FHD, but sometimes you change to short video, it revert back to 30fps.

  • It crashes every time I play Mobile Legends and Lineage. I don't think this phone is for gaming.

  • Amazing phone.. I look only Music and camera quality.. Both are stellar.. Updated it yesterday.. running smoothly.. using it for 1 year.. amazing..

  • I just received pie update miui 10.3.4 ...I use India as my region

  • Updated to Android 9, but i use POCO Launcher, and ONE UI icons, so i did not see any differences. Phone works how it works before. Maybe i need more time to find a difference. P.S. Thinking about change my Redmi S2 to Mi 8

  • If you haven't got android 9 update: Change your region to India or Russia and check the "get updates earlier" box in system update setting. Please share your experience in this pagr after update :)

  • After update to Android 9 Pie (9APQK) 10.3.3 perfomance, speed, battery and camera gets ita best performance ever. Xiaomi is really the best Brand

  • Hi to everyone! My Redmi S2 still has not got Android 9. Does anybody know why? I have global version with 3GB RAM and 32 GB Internal. Located in Belarus (CIS region)

  • Upgraded to Pie and MIUI 10.3.3. Seems good.

  • Is it just me or anyone else experiencing incorrect network speed notification/display after global Pie update?

  • Just ordered a Redmi Y2 for my wife at an attractive effective price of Rs 6,000 for the 4GB, 64GB veriant. The Y2 (only gold colour) was priced at Rs 7999 for a special discount on Amazon India. We exchanged our 3-yr-old Moto X Play for Rs 1,700 and we got a further discount on card payment. Net effective payment: Rs 6,000. For a 6", SD625, 4GB, 64GB, dedicated SD card slot and Android P phone, I feel Rs 6,000 is a great deal. It is true that the phone may be dated in specs, but wife's usage is basic (whatsapp, internet, calls) and I feel it should suit her just fine. We had checked Y2 review on gsmarena and the phone had a great review. Regards.

  • Not a fan of this guy's channel but this video definitely summarised the amount of effort and thought Xiaomi puts into their phones.

  • Battery gets charged too slowly before 1 year passed. What can I do???

  • Yes, it is, it works perfectly fine

  • Any body updated to Android 9 in Pakistan. Please share.

  • I mean Android 9 not MIUI 10.3

  • Is this Phone currently compatible with Pokemon Go? (v0.149)

  • I asked about Android 9 not MIUI 10.3

  • I still have my fingerprint option with MIUI 10.3.1.0.

  • Fingerprint option missing

  • Same happened with me, No more fingerprint options :(

  • Fingerprint options gone after update to Xiaomi MIUI 10.3

  • It seems battery issue

  • My phone Redmi S2 is updated to 10.3 and working fine

  • Any body updated to Android 9 in Pakistan. If yes then please let me know how to do it ?

  • is this phone have multitouch/touch not responding problem when playing games?

  • The S2 has 32 bit Android system. how durable is it?

  • is the best phone that you can get for this price , you can play pugb without any problems and the camera dont dissapoint at all

  • I had this issue.. this was due to a damage LCD panel/module after I dropped my phone. I have changed to a new LCD panel at authorised repair center. No restart/booting issues since.

  • It seems battery issue

  • Xiaomi plsss.,.update this to pie it so unfair when cannot do it

  • It's 32 bit

  • My Redmi S2 reboot and restart itself 10 times daily… I don't know why .. is there any help MIUI v 10.2.2 ....

  • But redmi s2 has 64-bit architecture isn't it?

  • what do you mean only 32 ?

  • THIS ===> 32bit infrastructure is a deal breaker 99% today run 64bit.

  • Better wait for redmi s3/y3 it will launch soon

  • how about selfie camera?? is it good enough? i plan to buy this for my girlfriend

  • Does Xiaomi Redmi S2 64GB support VOLTE?

  • Mi a2 lite

  • Honestly I would definitely recommend the Redmi S2. I have it 64/4 global version and I'm quite satisfied. Good battery, good camera for this price range, screen could be better, but I'm not complaining, pretty good processor for day-to-day tasks and games and I think it's slightly better than Redmi 6 in terms of performance. However, if you have extra money get the Redmi Note 7 instead of this, I think that would be a good option.

  • Hey guys. What do you prefer: Xiaomi redmi s2 or Xiaomi a2 lite at the same price about $160?

  • 2 days before 10.2.2.0 update after update my battery draining very fast. Watching videos draining too fast.

  • There is a new update rolled out for Redmi y2 10.2.2.0 download it the battery drain has reduced and the charging time has improved

  • mine too, it took 2% of my batt every single time it went down

  • No 5GHz wifi??? My Redmi note 4 from 2017 has it.

  • I'm torn between this phone and Redmi 6. Which one is better? I heard redmi 6 has good battery consumption thx to it's chipset.

  • thanks

  • XIAOMI Redmi y2 mobile lowest price and data speed so high and features so very usefull thanks Redmi company I just pay 7999 and provide me a android phone thanks a lot Redmi pls keep it up because oine of the company is Redmi and best seller..and all people are like this phone ummma

  • 530

  • It's price in Malaysia???

  • same here

  • Go to adesnal settings then disseable msa and disable all recommend things in all ads coming aps

  • Great wallpaper design on my lockscreen and im enjoying it!

  • Actually the screen is good for its price. I have watched many movies using this phone. Of course it's low pixel density but it is decent.

  • Search for Blokada apk. Install it and all ads are gone system-wide!

  • I bought one month ago I getting problem in wifi no good connectivity always have to restart my wifi if any one this solution please share it

  • Just Google it 'how to disable ads miui '

  • Great phone

  • After miui 10.2 update my y2 mobile battery draining very fast..

  • You can turn off ads, by, 1. cutting internet connection to the apps which give ads using the security app, 2. Removing notifications for those apps which give ads, like browser, etc.. 3. Removing those unneeded apps which can be removed, like mi apps, browser, etc. If you still face problem, post more details here...

  • Redmi s2 nice phone. But lots off add. Please redmi fix this problem. During use phone . Lots off add appears again n again. Really eritate

  • S2, j6+ is only quad core while s2 is octa-core its faster and less lagging

  • mi s2 better specs

  • When updating xiaomi redmi s2 Android pie?

  • Samsung j6+ or mi s2

  • Hi is anyone having problems with their S2 allowing text messages to be read through car Bluetooth system. My phone is paired with car I can receive phone calls no problem but texts will not come through ca

  • I will choose redmi s2..

  • Yeah pubg mobile very smooth and very good graphic

  • I know but the 32bit infrastructure is a deal breaker, it puts a time limit on the phone. I would rather have a weaker 64bit device than a 32 bit device that is good, maybe i could get a huawei P smart since its on sale.

  • Dear, J6 is nowhere infront of Redmi Y2/S2.

  • i am use y2 last three month very nice mobile camera day light out standing i love this phone

  • I just bought this phone a couple of days ago, and it is pretty decent phone with a good camera, and although the screen is 720p it's still good though pixelation occurs especially in games. The thing that really dissappoints me about this phone is that it runs a 32 bit operating system, which doesn't make any sense. Though I am considering returning this phone and getting a Samsung Galaxy J6 since it's the same price in South Africa.

  • Rear camera portrait shots became more realistic. Front camera portrait shots no longer crashes.

  • Camera sucks in portrait mode to a greater extent

  • Thanks for the reply men. Does your camera suck with the update like most people say ?

  • If you don't care about fhd display go for Redmi S2

  • no... im using 10.8 stable... portrait camera included in selfie also..

  • It is stable bro You will like it

  • Go for asus zenfone max pro m2 Or realme 2pro

  • Hi MI Fans!I am planning to buy this phone, but i am confused that honor 9n and redmi y2.So please help me that which phone is best to play pugb and asphalt 9.

  • Hi mi users! i want to buy this phone.Can you help me is this phone play pubg eashly?Otherwise i could buy honor 9n.

  • hi everyone...i want your help to choose between the redmi s2 (3gb ram) and the nokia 3.1 plus, i'm so confused because xiaomi s2 has a better prcesseur , in the other hand the nokia 3.1 plus has a better user interface (android one) but in the same time it's not (pretty) as android one. an other think xiaomi s2 (3gb ram) has a 16mpa selfie camera but in reviews they said that it's soft (no vibrant colors) and i don't know about the nokia's cameras,so please help me to choose beetween these two smartphones based on : performance and cameras (both),thank you very much

  • It can. Snapdragon 625 and above can play PubgM smoothly. Use Smooth and high fps, if you go higher there will be frame drops.

  • Hello Redmi S2 users Does the Miui 10.0.8 have any bugs ? Is it better or stable that Miui 9 ? Thanks in advance !!!

  • Planning buy this phone...can it play pubg mobile easily

  • Does it support Galileo satellites, please? Snapdragon 625 should, but I wonder if so. Thx.

  • Did you bought it to MI STORE?!!..if u would ask me, I was satisfied with the performance of the phone..

  • It's a good phone. Battery life is also good. I really enjoyed....

  • Is it an other?

  • this is good 4n or not ? how is the battery life?

  • Yesterday i brought this phone now only one problem i facing.. when i make a video call by imo then camera focused my face like a sunlight.. where ever it is the result same only... from the other ends they can't see my proper face...anyone facing same problem??? Please advice how to solved such a problem.... thanks

  • Thanks for update. Now I will do it....

  • The update is super cool... The notification many drop is enhanced let alone the performance, it'll literally feel like a whole new handset

  • This mobile is 4g in Pakistan

  • What is the different between global version and other version . I am from Bangladesh. I am living in china now. but i want to give it to my family. is it can use 4G in Bangladesh \ India / Pakistan ?

  • If it's already running without any issues then i don't think there's any reason to update.

  • I would suggest Moto One Power if battery life is your top priority, this has 5000 mAh battery (a 3 day backup is assured on average use) coupled with SD636 chipset and fast charging. Second option is Redmi Note 5, it has 4000 mAh battery, 2 day backup on average use, with SD625. Has no fast charging (Quick charge 2.0 available but u know how that is). Whichever you take this new year would be the best time to gift it.

  • 7k php

  • Yes

  • Only if you change the region on settings to india or indonisia

  • No it can't because it uses a Snapdragon 625. So look for phones with the Snapdragon 636 or Snapdragon 660 or Kirin 710.

  • Should update the software or not? Is there any benefit? I heard that there may be battery problem after update. Please guide....

  • They run smoothly on Maximum settings. Tested both games.

  • Battery life compare to note 5 is low... As it has 3080 mah battery

  • Planning to buy this phone. Can it run NBA 2K19 and/or Asphalt 9: Legends in the best possible graphics settings?

  • face lock available on this ?

  • its dual sim you can use 2 sim cards and memory card at the same time .uts a great performance device but its screen is very bad .

  • Sadly Yes i regret buying that phone .. nice performance and good battery but with the worst screen ever made .. redmi 5 plus is much better or note 5 . So sad for my mony on that crap screen i cant watch videos or any thing related to full screen

  • Can me use one sim card in the devire?

  • I updated mu MIUI to 10. It's size is 1.3GB, though I did it with Wi-Fi. It brought about some cool changes to the phone. Battery was slightly improved. 10 days later, I updated to MIUI 10.0.6.0 It came with November security patches and few notification correction.

  • Better get something more simple if it is about an elderly person. Nokia 2.1 or 3.1 would do better, especially that it has better battery life than Xiaomi. As a rule of thumb, the bigger the display size and resolution, the shorter the battery life.

  • You can go to miui forum for replying your question bro..cz any regions have different developers for update software or patch

  • s2 users>> does it support otg ??

  • How is the battery life? Am looking this phone for my dad for basic stuff. The wifi and mobile data will always be on and the battery life is the top most priority. Would you guys recommend it? And how is the battery life again?

  • Miui 10 is awesome and camera and battery life boost ed as well... Connection issues solved

  • It is better than J4+ in all aspects.

  • 9k php

  • How much is it? Philippine Peso. Is it better that the Samsung J4+? Please give feedback! THANKS!

  • What is miui because I switch on but is not doing anything and lighting fast

  • Its good phone. gives u 8-9 hrs battery backup on wifi. it is similar in case of 4g.

  • I have this device, it is very capable and the battery life is amazing.

  • Does anyone have this device? Question... What is the battery usage if.... In 4G Connection vs WiFi Connection? Which is viable?

  • Factory reset your device, after update to MIUI 10 (first make backup), and it will be like new. Also battery life is the same like with 9.

  • Yes

  • This one really depend. At some region, it actually priced the same as Redmi 5 Plus, or just slightly cheaper. The price gap between Redmi Note 5 or called Redmi Note 5 Pro also is not huge, not consider this phone as bang for bucks. This phone main advantage is it's triple card slot, which can store 2 sims and 1 Micro SD card independently. But of course, it cut corners too much.

  • Ya

  • Yes

  • This phone gives you what you need for the small price, it's actually good and plays games really well, the cameras are decent for the price, strongly recommend it

  • I just went to Settings-System Update-Update. Downloaded about 1.3 GB and installed. Takes a while installing though. If youre new to MIUI, use 9 for a while first.

  • Can we transfer installed games and apps etc to memory card?

  • Has anyone successfully updated their redmi s2 to MIUI 10. If so please walk me through it. It'll be much appreciated.

  • I had both i miss my red note 4 similar performance Note 4 has nicer build (metal back) slightly smaller bigger battery worse camera no dedicated sd card slot. all being said i prefer slightly smaller better battery i miss and i couldnt give a feck about the camera. So i prefer Note 4

  • Xiaomi Redmi S2 black color global also come

  • Iam using redmi S2(y2) since 1month, nice handset but camera clarity is worst,battery backup is amazing, except camera it's a brilliant mobile

  • Device Was Nice But important apps running with AD's that's was the Device made up So otherwise no problem...! Sleek & Lovely Display

  • My Redmi S2 full battery says 12H 19min remaining. Even it's on standby mode it only last for 12H. Just bought it recently. Do you have the same experience?

  • Just recently bought the S2 3 weeks ago. All is working well until I downloaded a theme from the pre-installed Themes App. Got the theme I wanted and applied. However, I noticed that the battery drains faster compare to the default theme, just my observation. Is it the theme or am I just paranoid? TIA.

  • anyone can send me a schematic diagram of this phone please? i really apreciate that, thankyou for your kindness

  • Make sure you plug in your headphones correctly and they in the headphone jack fully. I only had this problem once and doing this fixed it for me. I own a Redmi S2 global edition If this doesn't work for you, keep on plugging the headphones in and out until it gets smoother. And then it might work. If this doesn't work too, then either send your phone for fixing or there might be a problem with your headphones AUX cable unable to connect properly to ur phone

You can ise 6 Pro in the rest of the world, but does not have lte band 20 (for europe), also does not have at least, global rom, only China, India, or in most cases, selles puts custom software, and after firs update of MIUI, phone can't bootup, stays in recovery.. Thats a difference.

  • You welcome. 6 Pro is really great compact smartphone, actually i using same phone, just in global version, and with stock Android (a2 Lite). Battery life on this thing is impresive.

  • It would have been better if it runs on a 64 bit processor

  • Runs on a 32 bit processor.

  • Pls reply me

  • Nokia 2110 is better -_-

  • Doesn't have OTG? Man that might be a dealbreaker for me. I only want this phone for wifi and emulators. I won't be able to plug a controller up to it, only bluetooth controllers I guess. I like having both options available.

  • Thank you so much for pointing me to Redmi 6 pro. I wasnt aware of the phone until I read your suggestion for a small phone and then I looked it up, and found it ! I bought it the next day and let me say I am very impressed ! I was looking for a smaller phone, good specs and most important, a big battery. My reference was an equivalent of the retired Redmi Note 4, and this one fits the bill. Am so glad that I came across your comment. BTW, there is a menu to disable the notch if you dont want it.

  • Man!!! Your math is awesome. I didnt know you can buy a cake from a barber shop. =)

  • Nop! that is redmi 6 pro

  • I got too network problem with S2.network goes off everyday

  • i like the xiaomi s2 because of 1.loudspeaker 2.cheap 3.clear camera 4.ir blaster 5.performance

  • because of network problem lolz...

  • I love using this phone, everything about this mobile phone was totally fine for me.

  • Phone have Gorrila Glass

  • Camera is better than s7? Are you kidding?!! :D

  • LG G5 still awsome.. Faster than Faster.

  • 60% faster.

  • 2.0 ghz is right. All SDM625 are clocked at this speed.

  • Xiaomi note 5 al dual camera or xiaomi s2 ?

  • Wut? O3O

  • My wife's phone (Galaxy S8) stopped working two days ago and we are unable to get her at the moment a somewhat "proper" smartphone until about a month or two from now. So, I ordered this one online for her to temporarily use and it was delivered yesterday (the following day). Well, we both are pretty impressed by it that she thinks it is alot better than her S8. We really don't bother alot and have looked away off Chinese smartphone brands for 8 years now (we were using iPhones up to iPhone 4, which were essentially Chinese made) because of its bad reputation. This, I guess, changes that. Yeah, we get it that the SoC is 2 years old and the screen resolution is not something of the proverbial to write home about, but it serves very well my wife's usage. She only plays games sparingly and generally uses her smartphone for web browsing, picture-taking, and social media, and this phone proves to be more than adequate. Switching between windows and even split-windows are a breeze- no hiccups at all. Camera is surprisingly fast and adequate as well. Call quality could never be better and the speaker is likewise adequate for reproducing voice and music. All we have left to test is durability by our 1 year old's tantrums as he was the cause of my wife's S8 conking out.

  • Let suppose sd625 performs 100 then sd630 is 10% better than it that makes sd630 110 and sd636 is 40% better than sd630 which makes sd636 154 so on comparing it from sd625 it is 54% more efficient. I really wish you should have paid a little attention to your math teacher.

  • it's okay to update new version miui

  • why OS 32bit? why xiaomi?

  • hahahahahahahahahahaha

  • Download VLC player from the play store and problem solved now you can play videos in full screen without stretching

  • I'm a bit disappointed with my S2 in only one aspect. Before updating I had the option to choose whether I wanted to view a video on full screen or not. No it's gone. Some videos I watch are horrible when stretched out in a 5"99 screen. Can anyone help?

  • great

  • 2 year old processor with MicroUSB and people are accepting it?

  • Y2 has 2.0 GHZ or 1.3 GHZ... Flipkart shows 1.3 MI TEch support said its 2.3 GHZ.. which one is correct ???

  • Qualcomm says SD636 is 40% better on performance than SD630 and SD630 is 10% better on performance than SD625 means SD636 is 50% better on performance than SD625.

  • Lol

  • the audio quality is very much poor and we listen our own voice while we are doing the video chat, the receiving person audio quality was interrupting

  • Great phone, battery last 36 hours with medium usage. Camera good. Smooth OS . Got my vote

  • With the stock charger, it pumps 1% every minute. It however slows down slightly past the 90% mark. One hour 45 minutes is enough to charge from 0 to 100%

  • great budget phone with good battery timing. front camera is awesome for selfie lovers

  • Just a big bad screen.

  • Got it few days ago. Great phone for it's price. It has better camera than Redmi 5 Plus, but smaller battery, however it isn't issue at all because of HD screen instead of 5 plus's full HD.

  • The worst phone! I have used it for some hours on ist day. It is 60 percent charged and suddenly powered off and will not start again.

  • bad display quality

  • I have just come from the Redmi 5 plus that has a 4000mAH battery compared to the S2 which has a 3080 mAH battery. Have used the S2 for only 2 days and I must say I am pretty impressed by the battery life even if it is 3080. GSM arena gives it a 92 hour rating but in my opinion, it matches the 104 hr rating of the 5 plus, if not better. Xiaomi have done a really good job with this phone. Add a very good camera which is wet better than the one on the 5 plus. I honestly can't complain. This is where you see the power efficiency of the Snapdragon 625.

  • no gorilla glass

  • Twice faster

  • Right now this phone and Meizu M6 Note cost the same. After deep consideration, I went for Meizu M6 Note due to the following reasons: 1) Metal Build 2) Full HD Display 3) 4,000 maH Battery with Fast Charging 4) Flyme OS 5) Front facing Fingerprint Scanner But design-wise, Redmi S2 looks better than Meizu M6 Note. The only thing I am not so sure is the camera. From my usage, the Meizu M6 Note has a great camera, better than Samsung S7 and Note 7. But reviews also said the Redmi S2 has one the best cameras in its segment. Anyone has experience using both these devices? What do you think of this?

  • Guys, how much faster is SD 636 (Note 5) than SD 625 (S2/Y2) ?

  • i like the video recording. the EIS video stability really work great even with 4K recording. but need to download application. i know this from youtube and test by the introducer. but may i know how long will it take for fully charge. my current phone take 4 hours, thats why look for new phone.

  • LOL...

  • People get agitated wanting 4k screen Can you really tell the difference watching 720p vs 4k movies on a phone ? Maybe if watching slow mo or fast mo

  • It's protected with the latest gorilla glass 6.

  • very good mobile

  • how long it will take for fully 100% charge? thanks.

  • Does Y2 (India) have gorilla glass? If yes, which one (Gorilla Glass 2 or 3)?

  • Go for 3GB version, considering that this phone uses snapdragon 625 processor, you won't be needing more than 3GB RAM for most apps before the processing power runs out.

  • With the introduction of the Redmi 6 series, This phone does not look too bad right now doesn't it. No notch, best front facing camera with flash . Long battery life due to 720p screen. Forget about 1080p. Televisions use 1080p. 720p on a phone is adequate. Anyway all my movies I download is in 720p

  • Is this quick charging

  • Full hd+, metal build, better battery life, and yes 5 plus have cgg3 (and 2.5d glass). I mean for the same price, 5 plus is just better phone. But if you wanna the best frim Xiaomi in this budget category, go for Note 5 Al (Note 5 Pro in India). If you wanna smaller phone, wait Redmi 6 Pro ( if you dont mind notch)..

  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera or Xiaomi Redmi S2

  • Yes go for j6 so we will have one less contender for booking this phone...

  • the 92 hour battery rating for this phone is showing some progress but only and I wish they had made a 4000 milliamp battery it would have been almost the ultimate phone with long life for you to enjoy it instead of having to worry about draining. Please start with 4000 milliamp please show me I beg of you.

  • great cost-quality ratio, unlike that apple dung

  • only drawback the screen's resolution a bit low. Otherwise great

  • Excellent value for money right there, great job Xiaomi.

  • Brilliant job Xiaomi, great value for money, well done.

  • it isnt. Quite low resolution for 6" screen to be honest. But long sighted people will be fine :))

  • looks like Xiaomi has done great work in terms of battery optimisation and cameras.

  • Should I go for this or Samsung J6 infinity?

  • 269 ppi density. Is that adequate for a phone with 5.99 inch display? anybody?

  • I also agree to that. I have both the phones. Redmi note 5 is far more better than y2

  • no man this is mine .i.

  • Can I buy this phone

  • Yes Redmi y2 rear camera third class

  • Guys dont get fooled of this cemeras . Cameras are not good . Redmi note 5 is far better than this. We have both.

  • Resolution is also not enough

  • It has Notification LED

  • 5 plus has no GG, you get single cam with no eis. only fhd+ is good.

  • No.

  • DOes this phone got notification light ?If so is it multi color?

  • Sanpdragon 625 will be available only above 10 k range.

  • more the RAM ..better the mobile..4GB

  • Is the 3gb ram variant sufficient or 4gb ram? storage of 32gb is sufficient for me.

  • S2 and Y2 is the identical phones, just rebranded name for Indian market.. Yep is the full plastic phone, but this plastic looks a like a lot like metal.. Frame, back, everythin is plastic, and phone is really lightweight because of that.. Also, no 2,5D glass, no GG protection on screen. Good staff is it comes with 8,1, have ok cameras, but i think that Redmi 5 Plus (Note 5 in India) is better phone, and price is the same for 3/32GB..

  • Best budget phone yet... I'ved using it for 2 weeks.. and its satisfy me Camera features is so premier.. EIS, split screen, you won't get that with other budget phone.. flash is so bright.. So far it's the best budget phone.

  • Is that true. As every one is saying it is a Plastic One.

  • I heard indian version y2 comes with metal body.. it would be grateful if somebody answer this.. sale is on 12th hopefully we will know about metal body in y2

  • And Y2 only have cameras rest completely sucks

  • Y2. Note 5 series cameras suck

  • S2 and Y2 is not the same. S2 is plastic build and Y2 is Metal build

  • S7 Oreo galaxy project Rom will whip your mi5 to shreds.

  • Are you crazy? do you thing Protected glass never can be broken? oh hell no, gorilla glass only resist scratch, nothing more

  • Phone not have Gorilla Glass protection. So Screen will broke. Not recommended. I am using Redmi Note 4, this phone also have same problem.

  • Which has a better rear camera module, the Y2 or redmi Note 5 (SD625)? I know the Y2 is dual but is the primary sensor the same as on the Note 5?

  • I have a xiaomi redmi 4a and until now it's in very good shape. Good battery life still fast and still receiving software updates.

  • Man the phone you are talking about is the redmi 5 plus, it got 4000 mAh battery, type C, fast charging, price is almost the same, but you give up a bit on the camera department compared to this one.

  • This not good configuration corns not full hd no 4000 MHz battery price is to high if price is 8999 for 32 gb 3 gb its ok

  • Guys, does s2 have manual camera control? Like manual shutter, etc? Or does it need some roots to do inorder to access it?

  • My MI5 is almost two years old now, I have Lineage 15 on it and with that ROM it is much faster than S7. No issues so far with any Xiaomi I have: MI4S for my kid and Redmi Note 4 my wife. Xiaomi has perhaps best price/performance ratio atm

  • been using the Redmi Note 4X for over a year and Im quiet satisfied with the phone. Im happy about it, cheap yet a beast. The advantage of my RN4X to this phone is the battery life its got 4000mAh and this one only has 3080mAh but its got advantage on its own too when it comes to its camera. These phones are so affordable. No regrets

  • plz can someone tell me from 1 to 10 how good is this phone compared to phone or samsung because i dont really trust these kind of phones if i get it will it last at least 1 year in good shape ? asking for batery speed etc

  • this specs in 8 inch tab 1080+5k mah is better

  • Is it real aluminium unibody, some tech reviewer said that it is painted plastic.

  • The 16 MP, 2 µm pixel for the front camera is misleading. The actual sensor is 16 MP, 1.2 µm pixel size, but in the post processing they use 4-1 pixel binning, thus the "2 µm". Don't fall for it!

  • which one is better..5+ or S2..cannot decide which one i want to buy

  • This phone's pro is its good back and front camera, the cons are everything also dont buy this phone because it has high radiation and its glass is weak and fragile.

  • What kind of glass used in this Amar issa hoisedevice. Is it better? The regulation is slight low. Cant I watch 1080p videos or YouTube 1080videos?? Please let me know...

  • I love Xioami Redmi phones and currently using Xiaomi Redmi 4X but like to upgrade which 70% Redmi S2 meets my expectations other than few points mentioned below. Finally Xiaomi Redmi S2 is coming to India as Y2 because last year Y1 launched focusing on selfie camera I suggest Xiaomi Redmi S2 (Y2) should launch mini version of same with some changes as below 1. 5 or 5.2 Inch FHD screen (1080 x 2160 pixels ) with limited bezels 2. 2.0, Type-C 1.0 reversible connector with fast charging capability 3. Bigger battery if possible Rest all remains same and price starting 10k - 12K Note: Oppo Realme 1 has joined the league in India to compete Xiaomi in budget phones so Xiaomi has to be economical than Oppo

  • its the best phone in the galaxy right now

  • I used this xiaomi redmi S2 and compared to my redmi note 4, heres the comparison,1. in the screen resolution, i dont really see some difference causr i played pubg and it has both clear screens when i played it, i dont see some visible pixels in S2 its the same with note 4, 2. In camera, obviously the S2 has better cameras than my redmi note 4 even in lowlight my Note 4 cant beat the my Redmi S2, in videos the Redmi S2 can also take better videos than Note 4, hard to believe but the S2 has EIS!!! Hahaha in this price range it is good to have EIS, the only thing that note 4 wins is the battery for me, because it lasted 2 hours more than the S2 but thats not really a big deal, For me S2 wins over the Redmi note 4 Seriously guys the S2 is like the Redmi Note 5 Lite Its really a bang for the buck If you want battery go for the redmi note 4 and redmi note 5 pro if you have more budget, but if you want better camera and just an average user, go for the Redmi S2

  • Of course s2

  • I know, but seems like Redmi of Xiaomi is cheaper than Xiaomi that is not Redmi phone.

  • hey guys I really like your product and is not really common.I have a YouTube channel and I will really be happy to promote is product on it for free and I will need a sample of it. thanks.

  • Dude, it's the same...Redmi is one of Xiaomi's phone...

  • couldn't decide id s2 or 5+. if better processor and camera or better display and bigger battery

  • with a metal back don't expect wireless charging

  • Xiaomi and Redmi is the best budget smartphones, their performance is the best. For me.

  • amazing value for 180euro it wiil be the top phone to buy. looks also durable who can survive longer than other plastic phones from nokia, lg and samsung.

  • Does this phone have wireless charging? I heard on a certain site that it suppor.ts Qi wireless charging. I wanted to know if this is in fact true.

  • The specs to price ratio is really impressive

  • This phone will succeed my Samsung s7

  • If you expect for large battery, you could pick Redmi 5+, if you prefer a good experience for photo, you could pick Redmi S2

  • 720p compared to 1080p - cheaper, faster and better battery life because of lower GPU load

  • which is better?xiaomi s2 or xiaomi 5+.plz answer

  • Correct bro...battery should be at least 3,500 mah

  • nice phone, but 2 main reasons I dont buy it 1) too big in size, body should not be bigger than 140 x 70 mm (this is absolut maximum to use it by one hand and hold in pants pocket). Redmi 3 is bit smaller and also not comfortable to use, but I understand need of compromise between body and display size. So, Redmi 3 have absolute max bidy size and cutting bezels can even have larger display without increasing body. 2) why battery only 3080? Redmi 3 have 4000 and it is still not enough! I would rather double it not to cut down.

  • xiaomi should launch 5.5/5.2 inch display phone. that may be S2 mini.

  • Does it has fm radio?

  • Xiaomi should relaunch this phone as Redmi S2 Mini with display size 5.2 inch 1080*2160 pixel FHD Display, fast charging with type C , bigger battery and retaining other as it is at a price of 9999.00 INR Note: Huawei launched 9 Lite & 7X in March month and today 7A & 7C in India, Lenovo S5, K5 & K5 play are about to launch and then Oppo Realme therefore it's time for Xiaomi to modify the hardware and software to retain the top position in India

  • Hmm, a lower version of redmi note 4?

  • Hello, What is the SAR of this phone ?

  • why 3000 mAh???????

  • Stop the nitpicking dudes. Best phone for price and specs. Android 8.1. EIS and 20 megapixel oversaturation front cam for beauty selfies. what else do you need? Cameras are better than indian lousy redmi note 5 pro.

  • Yes you're right. But, Xiaomi have way better phone for similar price, Note 5 AL (SD636). This S2 is just another (plastic back) phone, and replace for Note5A (in India, Redmi Y1/Lite)..

  • Agreed... hard enough to justify this against their own Redmi 5 and 5+ heck even the Note 4?

  • Benchmarks isn't everything but long term dev + software support is, and Oppo compared to Xiaomi are severely lacking at that. Top that off with however good any Mediatek SoC is, that seals that unfortunate deal.

  • Samsung with this kind of spec is about 300 Eur !

  • Doesn't matter. Radiation is still high.

  • This phone is like a bunch of components smashed together so that Xiaomi can get rid of their old inventories.

  • Oppo real me 1 far better than Redmi s2 in every way, more than twice in antutu benchmark, helio P60 in real me the same performance with snapdragon 660.

  • Just buy an old Xiaomi phone. Yes, it's sad they're cutting on the battery. Really, really sad.

  • Isnt this one too pricey? I really dont see any standing out points of its spec, looks like redmi note series that got red-ed again so its actually like Redredmi note series Got it?

  • i am more concern about its battery, please xiaomi, give your next devices more power, miui is so greedy about power too

  • 720p resolution? Tell those guys it's 2018

  • I played with a Redmi S2 display unit at a Xiaomi store. The selfie image was oversaturated to breaking point, my face looked like blocks of reds and greens. At the other extreme, the selfie on Redmi Note 5 unit had very low saturation, my face looked like a ghost. Moral of the story is you'd better not base your buying decision on specs. You have to try it in person!

  • What about both camera quality? Did anyone try to compare it with otherXiaomi devices?

  • Does this phone support fast charging?

  • Xiaomi Redmi S2 vs. OPPO Realme1

  • Length and width of this mobile is big. You may find difficult to use it in one hand.

  • Xiaomi is launching great phones according to hardware/price. Are just price. If you try to find the same hardware you will see how cruel are the other companies. I prefer those xiaomi devices instead A or J Samsung gamma for example. Apple and Samsung flagships are a declared abusive steal for your pocket. They shell 50% hardware and 50% the logo.

  • Xiaomi releases way too many big and bulky phones, they should put SD625, SD636 or SD660 in a Redmi 5 152x73mm body with 4000mAh.

  • Xiaomi's entry levels are getting good

  • even redmi note 5 pro?

  • Xiaomi is boring now.

  • A 5.7 18:9 display is equal to a 5.5 16:9 display

  • with 5.5 inch, 1:2 ratio and the same for other specs.. i would buy this real quick.

  • But companies still doing it and apple is only 2th place in worldwide. With Huawei third and xiaomi fourth. When for example xiaomi reaches top i really dont think other companies will start copy xiaomi.

  • 7.5mm to 7.7mm thickness and length under 150 to 155mm and weight under 155g and camera aperture under 2.0 is OK otherwise failed.

  • 8.1mm + 170g = 3080mAh battery? Ok, bye.

  • GSM arena says its 150 euro, approx. 15k bdt. But today I saw some bd shops price list. They ask for 18k. ?????? Gsm arena says coming soon. but its available in Bangladesh today. How???

  • Apple copied too. But this you don't know.

  • Right. There is no point copying apple phones.

  • true bro..

  • Please add nfc for mid end phone Xiaomi..

  • Looks good for its price but why every phone most copy fukin Apple X design either notch or camera setup.

  • compare with billion capture plus billion capture plus is good in all things

  • resolution sucks

  • Me too

  • this will be my next phone

  • Why in 2018 every smartphone maker using a plainly stupid aspect ratio and/or resolution? 153mm is the max lenght (tolerance) for my comfort.

  • xiaomi loosing grounds no need for such big mobiles that too 720p

  • All the good looking phones from Xiaomi this year have the 5.99inch diagonal shape (and from a RN4X user), it's bigger than what I want to upgrade my phone to.

  • lol

  • Well, our government has put on additional 10% tax on pcb imports. So xiaomi had to increase the redmi note 5 Pro price by 1000 INR. Redmi S2 would be positioned below Note 5 if its launched in India. If launched below 9k, its a good buy.

  • 6 inches with 720p?!

  • I Will wait, until Xiaomi Indonesia sell it... I want to compare Camera Quality especially in Low Light condition, between Xiaomi S2 and Xiaomi 6x (A2)

  • ASUS and Honor are bringing great features below this price range. But why Xiaomi acting like AH. They brought "Redmi Note 5 Pro" at 13999 which was affordable and features were all great. Before i buy the phone they increased the price around 1000 INR. That's why i moved to buy Honor 9 lite. Now they Redmi S2 has lesser features then "Redmi Note 5 Pro" and they have given 15k price tag. why should we buy this phone, if we need little lesser camera and battery then honor is absolutely awesome phone....this seems like S2 launch is a strategy to sell "Note 5 Pro" at the same price.....good job Xiaomi !!! I am not buying it

  • because of flash sales i totally lost my interest on redmi mobiles and better buy some other phones costlier than these.

  • yes, honor and xiaomi ignore dedicated sd card slot so, me and my friends around 100 we are all ignore these type of smartphones (i mean who not provided dedicated sd card slot and dual sims at a time)

  • There has to be sacrifices in order to achieve the budget-oriented price of this device.

  • Pricing will be same as redmi 5 plus and yes people will buy because if the presence of dedicated sd slot, dual rear camera etc.

  • Nice article.Redmi S2

  • No nfc again?

  • For 5.7 inch display that makes the phone smaller. If this would be 5.7 inch screen it would be better to buy it. But of now you either buy redmi 5 plus or redmi s2 and difference is in battery, screen resolution and camera. Price isnt that much of a difference too but you cant compare it with 5.7 inch screen SD450 if you count in only the price.

  • Yes and also IR blaster.

  • Compared to A6 and A6+ from Samsung this is a T-Rex for its expecting price.

  • Expected price is: 130€ 2gb,150 3gb,170 4gb version.

  • Please tell me does it have gyroscope?

  • It's looks like all-round. Specifications are totally beats.

  • This specification is totally beats. Like all-rounder! :D

  • Pricing is expected to be same as Redmi 5 but you get better cameras, better chipset. So why would anyone buy Redmi 5?

  • Looks like a successor of Redmi Y1

  • latest news is this phone is coming with Android one project in India

  • redmi note 6 pro pleaseee, so thats phone who can be asus max pro m1 killer, come on xiaomi

  • what in the world they create this phone?!! Run out of idea?

  • #no Fhd+#no quick charge # small battery# bessel are thick# hybrid slot Price deserve under 11k for 4/64gb & 9k for 3/32gb then good option anyways better then redmi 5 & vivo y71 @oppo a83, & vivo y83

  • WOW what a POS. 4G is killing the battery extremely fast on my Redmi 5 plus. Can't imagine with 1000mah less...
