     The review notes: "The Redmi Y2 is a huge leap forward from its previous generation. Xiaomi has enhanced the areas where the previous phone nailed it and ironed out those where it fell short of expectations — build and aesthetics. In fact, the Redmi Y2 comes across as one of the few smartphones in Xiaomi’s lineup that aces some of their bestselling smartphones when it comes to desirable aesthetics. Add to that an impressive pair of cameras, good battery life and reasonable performance, and you end up with a smartphone that is a decent all-rounder to use as a daily driver. The Redmi Y2 isn’t perfect though — the battery life could have been on par with the Redmi Note 5 and the display could do with a full HD panel. However, for the price, these drawbacks can be overlooked. To sum it up, the Redmi Y2 is a great budget smartphone that ticks all the right boxes and specialises in the optics department. If you are seeking good camera performance fused in a package that is overall a great daily driver, then look no further."

     The review notes: "Xiaomi has made an excellent budget device which is jam-packed with good features. The pros include a budget phone that looks and feels familiar yet comfortable and has excellent camera features. The UI feels smooth, comes loaded with Oreo and has a good battery life. A couple of big cons would be the plastic construction and screen offering muted colours. The white bezel on the rose-gold device also makes the bezel appear much too thick."

  3. Singh, Sudhanshu (2018-06-08). "Xiaomi Redmi Y2 review" (pages [https://web.archive.org/web/20240225114128/https://www.techradar.com/reviews/xiaomi-redmi-y2 1] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20240225114514/https://www.techradar.com/reviews/xiaomi-redmi-y2/2 2]). TechRadar. Archived from the original (pages [https://www.techradar.com/reviews/xiaomi-redmi-y2 1] and [https://www.techradar.com/reviews/xiaomi-redmi-y2/2 2]) on 2024-02-25. Retrieved 2024-02-25.

     The review notes: "The Redmi Y2 is a big upgrade over its predecessor for sure, but the benchmark at this price is the Redmi Note 5 or the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1. If compared to Redmi Note 5, it's more feature rich and balanced. The ZenFone Max Pro has an advantage of a bigger battery and superior chipset, but if camera is a concern, the Y2 looks like a better fit."

     The review notes: "Like most Xiaomi phones, the Y2 ensures fine day-light shots. There’s no to little noise in well-lit conditions and the details are well pronounced as well. It has an auto HDR mode, that works decently in most conditions. But the dynamic range is uneven even with the HDR mode. At times it fails to capture enough details under shadows. Very honestly, I usually do not expect outstanding low light camera on a sub 15K phone. It’s nothing to complain about, but it’s not good either. However, the front camera results are surprisingly good at times. You still need a steady pair of hands though."

     The review notes: "The Redmi Y2 may be confusing to a buyer. The phone is priced similar to both the Redmi 5 and the Redmi Note 5. In fact, it has the same internals as the Redmi Note 5. But Xiaomi’s intentions are clear. The Note 5 is for enthusiasts while the Redmi 5 is for compact phone lovers. The Redmi Y2, hence, is for selfie lovers. Its front camera tech sets it apart from the rest, although the results are more or less consistent among other products by Xiaomi. The main threat for the Redmi Y2 is not from its own siblings though, but from its rivals. The Realme 1 is shaping up to be a compelling device with high-end hardware while the new Honor 7C and 7A are also proving to be reliable. The Redmi Y2 doesn’t bring anything groundbreaking to the table. It’s bland, but functional."

     The review notes: "Priced at Rs 9,999 for the base model with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, the Redmi Y2 is primarily a camera-centric smartphone with tried and tested processer, modern design and good battery life. The phone might not interest multimedia enthusiasts due to its HD+ screen and inability to keep background apps active for longer periods of time. However, considering the overall performance, the Redmi Y2 makes a great proposition as a selfie smartphone in the budget segment."

  6. {{cite magazine |last=Singh |first=Saurabh |date=2018-06-11 |title=Xiaomi Redmi Y2 review: The best all-round camera phone under Rs 10,000 |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/reviews/story/xiaomi-redmi-y2-review-the-best-all-round-camera-phone-under-rs-10-000-1255074-2018-06-08 |magazine=India Today |accessdate=2024-02-25 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20240225115353/https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/reviews/story/xiaomi-redmi-y2-review-the-best-all-round-camera-phone-under-rs-10-000-1255074-2018-06-08 |archivedate=2024-02-25 }}

     The review notes: "The Redmi Y2 is sort of a confusing affair. Its pricing, of course, has a lot to do with it. But unlike the Redmi Y1, that I did not recommend to buyers, the Redmi Y2 has every ingredient in the book to qualify as a viable alternative, to the Redmi Note 5. It isn't perfect. It has a plastic body and no protective coating up-top. The display is 720p+, and the Redmi Note 5 offers much better battery life, in comparison."

     The review notes: "In our opinion, the Redmi Y2 proves to be a great all-rounder smartphone for its price. The trouble is that at the same price you also have the option of the Redmi Note 5. The Note 5 has a metal body, similar hardware specifications but a bigger 4,000mAh battery."

  8. {{cite news |date=2018-06-07 |title=Xiaomi Redmi Y2 vs Redmi Y1: Specifications, features, price compared |url=https://tech.hindustantimes.com/tech/news/xiaomi-redmi-y2-vs-redmi-y1-specifications-features-price-compared-story-LKHv466lXFbnbQ2Po0zjzL.html |newspaper=Hindustan Times |accessdate=2024-02-25 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20240225115949/https://tech.hindustantimes.com/tech/news/xiaomi-redmi-y2-vs-redmi-y1-specifications-features-price-compared-story-LKHv466lXFbnbQ2Po0zjzL.html |archivedate=2024-02-25 }}

     The article notes: "Redmi Y2 and Redmi Y1 have stark differences in design owing to the former adopting the current smartphone trends. Redmi Y2 has a slimmer body with the antenna lines now sitting at the top and bottom of the rear panel. The circular fingerprint sensor still sits at the center but the camera lens are now placed vertically. Coming to the display, it is now a bigger and taller 5.99-inch HD+ full screen display. Redmi Y1 has a 5.5-inch HD display. Redmi Y2 however still has thick bezels on top and bottom as seen on Redmi Y1."

     The review notes: "So is Redmi Y2 the ideal budget phone for selfies? The selfies are impressive for the price. The overall performance is not bad either, though it could have been better for the asking price. However, the rear camera needs some serious improvements as it is quite slow. Plus the HD+ resolution display is a disappointment at this price. Buy this if you are obsessed with selfies and want a dual-rear camera for under Rs 10,000 from Xiaomi. Otherwise you can consider the Redmi Note 5 Pro, which has more to offer in terms of performance and battery."

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow the Redmi Y2 (also referred to as Redmi S2) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
