There are not many details regarding the phone. The Redmi Y3 is expected to release soon, nevertheless, the exact launch date has not been announced.

The Xiaomi Redmi Y3 is a mid-range device and the price should not exceed the Rs 15,000 mark. However, the exact price will come out on the launch date.

Smartphone brands are on a race to create the perfect phone. Xiaomi has improved the camera department on a lot of its smartphones in the past year. The company has already launched the Redmi Note 7 Pro with the massive 48-megapixels rear camera. Now, they are all set to rock again with a new selfie-centric smartphone. Considering the predecessor Redmi Y2 was launched with 16-megapixel selfie camera, the 32-megapixels front shooter on the upcoming Redmi Y3 will be a huge upgrade. It could use Samsung’s GD1 32-megapixel sensor for the front camera setup, which offers HDR enhancement and is recently seen on the Vivo V15 Pro as well. It is expected to feature the same dual rear camera setup of 12-megapixel + 2-megapixel used on the Redmi Note 7.
