     Xiaomi has done great job by launching selfie centric smartphones in budget segment with balanced specifications because if same device is launched by oppo & vivo with same specifications definitely the price of this device is doubled as compare to Redmi Y1 & Redmi Y1 lite. If you want a selfie centric smartphones at a price of 7,000 Rs then you can buy Redmi Y1 lite but i do not recommend this device because at similar price segment you have Redmi 4 which is more better option , but if you want selfie smartphones at price o 9,000Rs then you can buy Redmi Y1 which is best option at this price you can also buy Redmi 4 if you want more battery life. Redmi Y1 64GB i do not recommend more instead of that you can buy Redmi Y1 32GB because you get dedicated memory card slot to increase your storage capacity. So, Redmi Y1 32GB variant is an good option.
