After separating from parent brand Xiaomi, Redmi has launched three smartphones such as Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 7 Pro and Redmi 7 in China. Today, Redmi President took to Weibo microblogging platform to seek suggestions from Redmi fans on whether the company should launch a Redmi phone with 32-megapixel selfie camera. Could he be hinting the arrival of Redmi Y3/S3 smartphone?
Most Redmi fans have responded by saying “yes” to Weibing’s question. There are couple of smartphones with 32-megapixel selfie camera in the market such as Huawei P30 series and Vivo V15 Pro. They are all equipped with 32-mgeapixel Samsung GD1 sensor. The upcoming Honor 20 series phones such as Honor 20i, Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro are also rumored to feature it.
Samsung had launched the 32-megapixel ISOCELL Bright GD1 sensor along with 48-megpixel ISOCELL Bright GM1 senor in October last year. The 32-megapixel GD1 sensor is equipped with real-time HDR mode. It has a single pixel size of 0.8micron and it supports 4-in-1 pixel binning technology for capturing brighter shots in dim light conditions.
Redmi is expected to release successor phones for Redmi 6A, Redmi 6 Pro and Redmi Y2 from last year in the near future. Earlier this month, a leakster had revealed that India will be soon receiving the Redmi 7 smartphone. The country may receive Redmi Y3 phone as early as next month. The Chinese firm is also speculated to be working on Redmi 7A smartphone.
The Redmi Y3 will be a youth-focused selfie-centric smartphone. It will be arriving to replace the Redmi Y2 that features an AI driven 16-megapixel selfie camera along front LED flash. The Redmi Y2 was launched as Redmi S2 selfie phone in China last year. Probably, the upcoming Redmi Y3 / S3 selfie phone from the company could be arriving with 32-megapixel front-facing camera.
Also, the arrival of the Redmi Y3 seems to be close at hand as it has already bagged Wi-Fi certification. It is speculated that some markets may receive the same as Redmi 7 Pro. A recent leak had revealed that the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 9X will be also equipped with 32-megapixel Samsung GD1 sensor. The Mi 9X may debut as Mi A3 in international markets.
