Xiaomi will launch its 32MP selfie camera toting Redmi Y3 phone in India on April 24. Xiaomi has revealed the launch date on social media, and it has also confirmed two key aspects of the upcoming Redmi Y3 - one is of course, its 32MP selfie camera, and the other is its waterdrop-style notch.  

The Redmi Y3, as per the teaser image shared by Xiaomi on social media, will look a lot like the Redmi Note 7 and Redmi Note 7 Pro from the front. Which means that it will also come with Xiaomi’s dot notch – it is yet to be seen if Xiaomi also puts in Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on here similar to the Redmi Note 7 and Redmi Note 7 Pro. 

This dot notch will be home to a 32MP selfie camera – which will likely use Samsung’s GD1 image sensor that uses pixel binning to produce 8MP effective photos. The same sensor is used by Vivo in the Vivo V15 Pro. 

Xiaomi’s Redmi Y-series focuses entirely on the selfie camera – although, last year’s Redmi Y2 also came with some interesting dual rear cameras. Both the Redmi Y2 and the Redmi Y1 before it, came with a 16MP front camera. And now, Xiaomi is looking to take things up a notch with the Redmi Y3 by outfitting it with a whopping 32MP selfie camera.  

All Y-series phone have hovered around the Redmi Note price point – which is around Rs 10,000 and should that be the case with the Redmi Y3, it would be a first for any budget smartphone to have a 32MP front camera at its low price. It won’t be surprising though - Xiaomi literally stunned the world by launching the Redmi Note 7 Pro with 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor in India for Rs 13,999.   

Not a lot is known about the Redmi Y3 apart from its selfie camera credentials and dot notch design, since Xiaomi hasn’t launched the phone yet anywhere else in the world – whether this would be another India-first launch is something only time will tell.
