The Honor 7C and the Xiaomi Redmi Y2 are pretty similar smartphones. Both are priced close to each other and offer a 5.99-inch HD+ display with a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels and a aspect ratio of 18:9. Both also comes with dual-rear cameras and a rear mounted fingerperint sensors. However, there is a difference in the build if you take a closer look.

While both phones offer the same sized screen, the surrounding body of the Honor 7C is slightly smaller than the Redmi Y2.

The Honor 7C has a height of 158.3mm and a width of 76.7mm. It is also 7.8mm thin.

The Xiaomi Redmi Y2 on the other hand is slightly larger than the Honor 7C. It has a height of 160.7mm, and a width of 77.3mm. It is also slightly thicker at 8.1mm

There is also a slight difference between the phones in weight. The Redmi Y2 weighs 170g, while the Honor 7C weighs 164g.

So, do you think that the slightly more compact build of the Honor 7C makes a difference? Or do you think that the difference is too small to matter? Sound off below.

Both are overpriced and should be close to 7-8k because of that resolution.

All 720p hd only phones should be priced well under 10k. No one will buy at that pricing above 10k.
Redmi y2 is also over priced . I don't think it sells well compared to redmi note 5 pro and note 5 .
Also xaiomi have begun to introduce advertising in their system apps like musicplayer , browser and file manager also video player .
Some of the above can be turned off . But most of the ads in apps cannot be turned off .

It's in between as when you are talking about the entry-level smartphones, only those phones are picked which packs decent design with all-around specs. And if there's a smartphone which has spec bump over another, customers won't be hesitating to pick the one with spec bump over one having great design.

Well both phones are good, except for the os ofcourse. The pricing should have been better. I would choose 7c as Honor is pushing those updates really fast and they often have less bugs.

Selfietards are buying them. They want nothing else to do with their phone.

More reason to unlock BL and flash custom rom which is not possible on Huawei/Honor phones anymore.

I find people always taking selfies near me as well, but not with me.

I like big screen and small size of Honor 7c

I want honor to have android one program atleast for devices with weak hardware so that performance would increase

Android one was supposed to do that but OEMs think android one devices should be priced higher and be lower spec'd than their other crap UI phones (case and point Mi A1 and A2)

Honor 7c is a better phone but software is bad.

I was think Mi A2 for next phone but Xioami ruined it. :mallet:

And the fact honor play has better internals than A2. A2 wins on software part though.

I have low budget. Can u tell me if 7c is good than y2?

N

Can it have long battery life? I go on tours and forget charger sometimes.

I do not know if Xiaomi is going stupid because of price or Honor is deliberately trying to push EMUI down our throats.

Both are true.

While the fundamental design elements—thin bezels, full metal finish and back facing finger-print sensor—are similar in the Honor 7C and Redmi Y2, there are subtle physical differences too. For instance, the Honor 7C is slightly smaller, weighs 164 gm, and has more rounded edges. The Redmi Y2 weighs 170 gm, has a groove along the side panel for better grip quality and more prominent antenna bands, on the lines of a flagship HTC smartphone

The Honor 7C has both Face Unlock and Fingerprint Unlock, which are rare among budget phones and they are fast convenient.
Though the Redmi Y2 also has Face Unlock, it is really slow and unsafe. I have seen a review from Gadgets 360’s , the Redmi Y2 claimed “the device can potentially be unlocked by other people using a photo of you” and they “found it to be slower than and not as accurate as other manufacturers' implementations”.

I like redmi y2

I like metal phones. So, Redmi y2.

The Redmi Y2 comes with a 12-megapixel camera for regular shots and a 5-megapixel camera for bokeh shots. The Honor 7C’s 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel camera setup works on the same principle. While both cameras were able to muster adequate amount of detail for social media posts, shots taken from Redmi Y2 look brighter. For selfie enthusiasts, the Redmi Y2 has a 16-megapixel camera, while the Honor 7C has an 8-megapixel camera. However, the picture quality looks similar.

Even a GOOD 5MP camera is enough if the pics end up in social media posts.

Can we compare this with new Samsung On7 pro?
