Xiaomi Redmi Y1 Lite - User Reviews

  • I ise it and its steel

  • No its a plastic body

  • good mobile phone, no prob at all after 1 year plus using it. Still in excellent condition though I used many apps and battery still last long. A very good one and very recommended.

  • MIUI 10 is already available for this device

  • miui 10 ???

  • Go to settings then installed apps.choose file manager and go for more permissions and you have a card read and write permissions. ENABLE IT

  • It is plastic I guess.

  • whether the body is made of plastic or metal?

  • In Indonesia, it is named Redmi Note 5A. So far I use it, the phone is good. I don't use it for high gaming. For AOV game, it can handle well. For Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII game in PSP, for Disgaea in PSP too, it can handle it well. No problem for camera, storage, internet, YouTube, calling, accept call. I'm OK for battery life. typing is also good, I can do quickly.

  • note 5A

  • Agree on this!

  • It's a good mobile ....every thing is good..I am facing sudden switch off and on problem ..I updated my s/w there after no problem I am facing so far

  • A new update was released on 29 of May and fixed every thing. The mobile is good so far . The battery is not bad for a normal user , everything is working fine.

  • Redmi Phones are very good. But a small problem which redmi should really work on, I bought Y1 and my friend bought 5A both has a mic problem, where the opposite receiver is unable to hear our voice and sounds like we are talking from a tunal and also at times you can hear a bubble noise as if you dropped your phone into water.

  • this phone is problem with sd card but i didn't notice at first

  • Yes u r all right..I am suffering from this phone...

  • all things are good. it is a amazing phone.

  • This redmi y1 lite is very bad mobile. I have ever seen . please don't by this mobile . Battery , touching, very bad. If I ask mi service center they r saying it will be like this only for a month after buying . .. Only after 6 days I found this problem.... Very bad mobile....

  • Everything is good except the battery...... weird battery drain even the mobile is not using.....how to fix this????....buyed the mobile 4 days ago from mi store

  • Is this fixed? Thanks friends

  • Redmond y1 lite I bought from the shop. When I kept charging it is borned now service center is telling it won't come under warranty, again I I have to pay ₹4000 thousand to change the bode. What is the use of giving warranty. Cell price is less service charge is more expensive. It is under warranty phone, no damage.

  • yes.it has very good battery. about 11 hours screen on time.

  • Just received miui 9.5 for note 5a.

  • In Egypt the redmi Y1 lite called note 5a And Y1 or note 5a in your question is called note 5a prime And this is not fraud this is how xiaomi called there phones in I think middle East

  • In my country this is called redmi note 5a and the higher version called note 5a prime (the better performance and camera version)

  • I think, the system had consumed the rest. It is common that android system use the spare of internal rom. The problem is, in the case of lollipop version, system also consumed nearly 2 gb ram. If you have problems, especially, when, browsing, or calling, suddenly the phone restart, no wonder, the limit of ram surpassed. Maybe rooting is the solution. Salam

  • Is the battery backup is good? How long it stay?

  • Xiaomi Y1 lite is nice looking phone.

  • in my redmi y1 lite shows internal memory 9.45gb only but in specification it shows 16gb internal memory

  • it has volte support r not

  • Yes it hv otg support

  • I got mine a few hours ago. Right now it's updating to MIUI 9.2, I'll tell you about OTG after that.

  • Does it have OTG support?

  • Redmi y1

  • Is this phone really 90 eur price ??

  • I just want to know that REDMI Y1 has reboot problem when we are taking on call or not. I read multiple reviews that as per user this phone will reboot when you are talking some one over the call.

  • Specifications wise mi y1 I think good.but in Samsung nothing new ,boring design but camera I like samsung.samsung should be change design purpose.

  • This model is Redmi note 5a.U probably mean on redmi note 5a prime,which have better performance and camera.

  • in Israel this model is named and sold as "Redmi Note 5A 16GB" branding this as Redmi Note 5A is knowingly cheating the customers. Xiaomi should not allow this. people buy this model thinking they are buying the Redmi Note 5A with 32GB and 16mp Selfie Camera which is only slightly more expensive.

  • One of the best value for money in budget segment

  • 1.My redmi y1lite is rebooting while having phone calls. 2.After UI update equiliser of music player is not working properly.

  • In Indonesia it's called Redmi Note 5A

  • Overall the phone is ok there are two problems 1 is the data cable is too short 2nd and most important problem is the phone is reeboting itself sometimes when we are talking on a call

  • ok be

  • Which is good Redmi y1 or Samsung on7 pro

  • He broo this phone y1 ilte is coms corlingorila glass 3, if you want protection then go for it

  • redmi 4 is better

  • Yes it is available in Pakistan. check draz.pk and mistore.pk

  • Redmi 4 (16gb) , 5a (32gb), y1lite. Which is one good to buy . note: don't Care about the storage.I need good performance and battery backup. Pls say best one. Thanks....

  • Plz tell me it's Battery backup is good or bad. Bcoz I take this yesterday but my battery back up is not good

  • Yes, check out on the online sites in Pakistan. Is it available in Pakistan?

  • Buy redmi 4 in place of y1 lite if you love camera and big screen then go for y1 lite but redmi 4 has metal body,big battery,fingerpring sensor and 435 chipset which is very good than y1 lite

  • No

  • When you pay under Rs 7,000 INR for a phone like Y1 lite, please do not expect it to have DSLR like quality of photos. Appreciate it for what it has to offer AT THE PRICE POINT. It is meant at a target customer who wants a simple, basic, large screen phone with all the necessary bells and whistles with a decent battery life and at a budget price. Regards.

  • I want this phone in Karachi pakistan. Can I order online?

  • I would say this is a very good phone in this price range.

  • what is a front flash y1 mobile

  • I got this phone first day in Malaysia . good phone overall ; but here is some bugs . when listening to whatsapp audio and someone sends you a message the audio goes to the speaker and everyone can here it . the video recording sound is the worst as it cancels all the background sounds and you can only here people talking like a horror movie . they need to fix theses ASAP

  • Any heating issue there in Redmi y1 lite?

  • Good phone, miui 8.5 (9 soon), but have split screen with miui 8.5.6.0, 7.1.2 nougat on board. God battery life. Back cover and sides is made of plastic :(

  • Today

  • available bro. redmi note 5a for Pakistan and y1 lite for India. just name difference.

  • When will this phone release in Pakistan?

  • 4a

  • Redmi y1 lite

  • yes, camera not good.

  • Camera of this phone is very bad as like front camera- 2 MP and rear camera - 8 MP. Redmi - 4 and redmi note - 4 are super phone. Redmi Y1- camera- bad, Battery- not good Ram & ROM- Good Overall don't buy redmi y1.

  • supported

  • 2nd SIM support 4g LTE?

  • I see debate here about Snapdragon SoC and Mediatek SoC. Primarily both of them follow ARM design. But Snapdragon syncs, coordinates and optimizes CPU & GPU for an better real time experience. It's just not cores of CPU & GPU put together, but a value added package as a SoC, duly calibrated to perform better. On other hand, Mediatek simply bundles the cores of CPU & GPU together. What it misses is sync , coordinate and optimization as a single unit. Hence the performance is not as good as good as Snapdragon. Many factors are to be considered for overall performance, other than just speed.

  • when come in bangladesh

  • That will happen when BMW, Mercedes or Audi will start making under 10.000$ cars.

  • great..it is not hybrid. it can use 2 simcard and 1 microSD at once

  • as wifi hotspot

  • LED notifications are white only.

  • 90 eur or a phone with 2gb ram and 16gb diskspace also 3000+ battery thats amazing. Wonder when apple starts making this so good phones with price under 100 :-)

  • It takes up to 3 hours 10 minutes to charge from 15% to 100% with 2A original charger. what's so slow.

  • There is no debate here. It's easy to criticize something you don't like. There is always this one thing -- even the tiniest -- to criticize because you probably want it to be perfect. The quest of perfection is that of those with issues. SD 425 is better than all Mediatek chips. That's what you want to hear. So, have it that way.

  • Will use it for Downloading and Watching movies.

  • You can't just slap a bunch of cores on a CPU and call it a day. MediaTek SoC are bad in general. Remember its not all about Benchmark scores.

  • so wan to make a bet ? helio x10 vs snapdragon 425

  • Actually, the MT6795 is way faster than the Snapdragon 425. You might not like the honey, but you cannot deny that it's tasty. So, because people say Qualcomm is better than Mediatek doesn't mean whenever it says Qualcomm that it's better than Mediatek. Many Mediatek chips perform better than Qualcomm's low to mid end chips. Educate yourself before making blind comparisons.

  • lmao what a joke,snapdragon is miles better than mediatek

  • Its not bad for its price. Just arrived to my shop the buying price is 109 eur which is great for device like this.

  • Yes, it has

  • my 2 years old redmi note 2 is far better than this

  • Can anyone confirm if this has an FM radio or not?

  • good

  • maybe NO. :(

  • isn't there any fingerprint?

  • iPhone 8 has 2 GB RAM

  • Most phones should be at least 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM even in low-end devices. Mid-range should be 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM. Flagships should be 6GB - 8GB RAM and 128GB ROM. We're in 2017, technology age. 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM? That's on 2010-2015, "ice age".

  • How good is the loudspeaker? Is it loud or is it silent?

  • 2 GB RAM isn't sufficient these days. What kind of a world do you live in? Flagship phones have 4 GB RAM but they also do a lot of optimization with the processor and the battery. Also, as the RAM increases by the GB it means it increases by 1024 Megabytes, and today's apps merely occupy 50 to 100 MB, except for some bulky ones. 3 GB is good, it has been found in many reviews that 3 GB is sufficient to handle most of the frequently used apps. 4 GB is great. 6 GB is awesome (OnePlus phones).

  • seriously ? 4 gb ram is more than enough with todays flagship device . and you say this phone need minimum 3 gb ram ? wtf bro you should dump youself to dumpster if dont know wht phone specification should have . patethic,ridiculous and stupid comment

  • Its always so fun whn lot of people think that this is extension of Note 4..LoL

  • Is this a extension of the 4A or the Redmi Note 4.

  • nice

  • But with bigger screen and poorer battery life

  • For me 4A have better sense to exist, this will have poor battery life and not so good screen. 4A maybe with 3gb of ram will be perfect budget choice

  • snapdragon 425?

  • It looks pretty nice for entry level phone..And better from 4a..

  • I do not like with 2GB ram and 16GB Internal Storage. Expecting with minimum 3GB ram and 64GB for internal storage. Other spec is Ok.

  • 5000 mah bettary and with dual camera and with 6 gb ram and with fast charging available in next phone

  • Really, not happy with mi note 5 Decrease the feature and quality

  • basically this is just Redmi 4A with Nougat OS

  • Is this a new variant to Note series with low specs?

  • Redmi Note 5A and Mi 5X are both targeting buyers in physical stores. And A series is basically entry level devices. Probably not for spec savvy.

  • It's a lowest version among any redmi note 5 series

  • I don't get it. In the past, Xiaomi have been pushing the envelope when it comes to the quality of hardware in the note series, but now they have downgraded screen resolution, and installed a bunch of low-rent 28nm chips, that are no better than the Helio X10 of the Note 2. Time to jump ship and buy a Meizu.
