More on the design of the Redmi Y3

The Redmi Y3 features curved edges for a better grip

3.5 mm headphone jack, IR blaster abhi bhi hai

2 + 1 card slot — no more hybrid business

Mirror Mirror on the wall, which is the prettier colour of them all?

Moving on to the fresh new design of the Redmi Y3

6.26-inch Dot Notch display with peak brightness of 450 nits

19:9 aspect ratio

Aura design philosophy — similar to the Redmi Note 7 and the Note 7 Pro (Bye bye dull design)

Three colours — Bold Red, Prime Black and Elegant Blue

Google Lens is now built into the default camera app

Not sure how many people use Google Lens very often but it’s still a neat addition, nonetheless. (It works great for translation though, I can vouch)

As for the cameras on the back there’s a dual camera setup

At the back, we have a 12MP main camera &
2MP depth sensor for better bokeh effect. #RedmiY3 #32MPSuperSelfie #AllNewRedmi pic.twitter.com/wHa6Uy8PUg

The Redmi Y3 gets the same dual-camera setup we saw on the Redmi 7

12 MP primary sensor, paired with a 2 MP depth sensor.

There’s AI scene detection (33 different categories) for the first time on a Y Series phone.

All about the 32 MP selfie camera

Xiaomi’s also adding EIS to the front camera for the very first time on a budget phone

Vloggers rejoice!

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

Now hopefully our tiny baby-hair will not get blurred out!

Say hello to semantic segmentation. That means AI portrait selfies become a lot sharper on #RedmiY3#32MPSuperSelfie #AllNewRedmi

Star of the show — That 32 MP selfie camera on the Redmi Y3

The new 32 MP front camera sensor on the Redmi Y3 is 22.3 percent larger than the 16 MP sensor on last year’s Redmi Y2.

The larger sensor, as one would expect, is capable of a wider dynamic range.
