Performance
Under the hood, the Redmi Y1 Lite is powered by the Qualcomm MSM8917 Snapdragon 425 chipset, paired with a quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU and Adreno 308 GPU. Running on Android 7.0 Nougat with MIUI 11, the phone delivers a reasonably smooth user experience, particularly for basic tasks like browsing, social media, and light gaming. With 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, the phone might struggle with more demanding applications, but the dedicated microSDXC slot allows for affordable storage expansion.
