More on that 32 MP madness on a budget device

The Redmi Y3 features Xiaomi’s AI Beautify 4.0 algorithm — for those who care — more subtle changes

There’s also Auto HDR detection where the AI kicks in to understand if you really need HDR

The Redmi Y3 has a 1.6-micron pixel 4-in-1 Super Pixel 32 MP sensor which again means that you get better exposure to light — something which is more visible in selfies taken in low light

There’s also the option of a screen flash — which means that Xiaomi’s doing away with a physical flash on the front.

Portrait mode on the front camera has also been improved.

The lens is also 80-degrees wide, which make it better suited for group selfies.

That’s not all, as a party trick, you can just hold up a palm and remotely trigger a 3-second self-timer to take selfies

Xiaomi’s quickly ramping up its offline presence in India

Manu Kumar Jain says Mi Home stores are now present in 19 states, with more than 300 cities, employing more than 2000 employees across the country.

Xiaomi is set to launch **the Redmi Y3 and possibly the Redmi 7** as well at an event taking place in New Delhi today. The Redmi 7 is already available in China, therefore, most of the phone’s specification and features are already in the public domain. The Redmi Y3, on the other hand, is expected to be an India-first phone centered around a 32 MP selfie camera that Xiaomi’s already confirmed on its social media platforms. Though pricing details haven’t been outed yet, both phones are expected to be priced under Rs 10,000 going by the pricing of its predecessors, namely, the Redmi Y2 and the Redmi 6.
