Last year, Xiaomi announced a new series for the Redmi line. The Redmi S2 which was announced in May was the first of the series. The phone later launched in India as the Redmi Y2. A new report has revealed that the phone will be getting a new successor which will launch as the Redmi Y3.
The Redmi Y3 was seen on the website of the WI-Fi Alliance after receiving its Wi-Fi certification last week. The certification reveals the phone’s model number as M1810F6G. It will run Android 9 Pie out of the box and support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
The rest of the specs of the phone are still unknown. The Redmi Y2 is powered by a Snapdragon 625 processor but we don’t think upgrading to the Snapdragon 632 for the Redmi Y3 will be a smart move so it doesn’t hurt the sales of the Redmi 7 unless there is no plan to launch the Redmi 7 in India.

We expect the Redmi Y3 to still come with dual cameras like its predecessor, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and hopefully a bigger battery, and an improved selfie camera. It should also have a lower price tag than the Redmi Note 7 which is priced at INR 9,999 (~$145).
