This Redmi S2 is the second selfie smartphone released by Xiaomi. Previously there was a Redmi Note 5A that had a 13 MP front camera. Well, now the Redmi S2 is even more sophisticated because its front camera is 16 MP. In 2018, Xiaomi has released at least three smartphones in the mid-end segment. There was a Redmi Note 5 in March, Mi 6X in April, and the most recent one was Redmi S2 in May.
At first glance, all three have very similar designs. At the back, both have dual-camera modules on the top left and fingerprint sensors in the middle. Then on the front there is earpice, front camera and there is also a special LED flash on the Redmi S2 and Reno 5.
Some Redmi S2 bodies say from metal, some say from polycarbonate. If you tap on the top, it sounds like polycarbonate. But right when tapped on the middle it was more solid like metal. But after paying more attention, our feeling is made from polycarbonate.
What is clear is that the body is not too easily fingerprinted. The buttons on the right side also feel sturdy when pressed, it's just a little noisy. For the interface there is a microUSB port below the speaker. There is also a 3.5 mm audio jack above.
Turning to the screen, the size is 5.99 inches FullView 18: 9 HD + resolution. The edges of the screen are curved but unfortunately if we buy a unit with a white front, there is still a slight black border on the screen.

For those of us who are used to using dual-SIM and microSD together, the fun of this smartphone has three dedicated slots. Two nano-type SIM card slots and one microSD support up to 256 GB. Another advantage of Redmi S2 is infrared. So we can make it a remote replacement. This feature will be very useful especially if there are many electronic items in our homes.
As one of the latest smartphones released, it is certain that the operating system used is the latest version. Yep, Xiaomi Redmi S2 has used MIUI 9.5 Global based on Android 8.1 Oreo. For its features, it is fairly standard like most Xiaomi smartphones.
Because it supports full screen, we can change the navigation system using gestures that feel smooth and really good. Swipe upwards to return to the homescreen. Swipe up and hold one second to open Recent Apps. And swipe from left or right for the back button.
But if you want to keep using the on-screen button as usual, we can also change the position of the back button and Recent Apps according to custom. We can exchange the position to the right or left.In the security sector, in addition to standard security such as PIN, password and pattern, there are also additional fingerprint and face unlock biometric sensors. The fingerprint can be directly used from the screen to turn off and feels fast. But for the face unlock, the speed is normal. Especially if the ambient light is less bright, it will be even longer.
Xiaomi Redmi S2 is equipped with a chipset that we think is a bit old, Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 with Adreno 506 graphics processor. Then for the RAM capacity and ROM itself according to what is sold in Indonesia, which is 3 + 32 GB.
As usual, the MIUI user interface does tend to be wasteful of RAM. When the conditions are idle, leaving only 1.3 GB of RAM. So it's a bit of a hassle for multitasking hobbies. Behind the matter of the processor, even though using an old chipset, does not mean bad. Redmi S2 managed to score 76
thousands when tested benchmark using AnTuTu version 7.
We also had time to test several light and medium game titles. Games like Mobile Legends run smoothly using high graphics. Then when playing a rather heavy game like PUBG, the graphics settings can only be low or medium. If you want to be comfortable, use the low one, so there aren't many frames drop.

About the battery, Xiaomi has a 3,080 mAh Li-Polymer battery. Its durability turns out to be quite durable. With the use of social media standards, often streaming YouTube and occasionally gaming, screen on time is obtained more than 7 hours.
SOT which is quite definitely also influenced by the Redmi S2 screen resolution which is still HD +. Yes, indeed, the screen looks less kicking. But it's not bad either. The use in the outdoor is also still fun.

As for the duration of charging, it takes quite a long time because it does not support fast charging. Charging from empty to full takes up to two and a half hours. Xiaomi Redmi S2 is a smartphone designed for selfie lovers. But the rear camera is also quite promising. There is a 12 MP f / 2.2 + 5 MP dual-camera module with not a few features.
Because the camera has PDAF support, the focus shift is quite fast. We can also activate HDR mode for certain photos. But the shooting process takes longer. Especially if you use HDR when you have minimal light, your hands must be stable for 2-4 seconds or the image will blur.
Don't forget that the Redmi S2 also has portrait mode. If you make a picture, the person will be disappointed. But if the object is complicated like hair or leaves, the results of the bokeh are not too maximal. We also recommend using this mode when it is clear so as not to noise.
Continue to the front camera, there is a 16 MP camera module that is supported by HDR and LED flash. The beauty effect is five levels. If you enter the Advanced menu, there are additional settings for manipulating several parts of the face, such as the chin, eyes, color and smoothness of the skin.
While the HDR mode when we tried it, it can help when shooting in Becklight conditions. Background that didn't look like a white flat became more visible. The results are quite helpful. If you are bored with a flat selfie, Xiaomi gives you the option to use portrait mode through the menu at the top. It should be noted, the HDR effect will automatically die if using this portrait mode.
After trying to shoot selfies quite often, if we say the results aren't too good. Good for smartphones worth Rp2 million. But it's not too good if we compare it to other, more expensive smartphones that also have a 16 MP front camera.
For video matters, the Redmi S2 is quite good because it is equipped with Gyro-based EIS. So there is no need to fear any more shocks when recording videos. Furthermore, there is also a Short Video feature that only records videos with a maximum duration of ten seconds for Insta Story, WhatsApp Status and Facebook Story.
