The Redmi Y3 will be announced on Wednesday in India. Redmi has already confirmed some of its key features but the processor powering the device remained a mystery. Just a few days to its release, the device has been spotted on Geekbench.
The phone was benchmarked earlier today as the “Xiaomi Redmi Y3”. It runs Android 9 Pie and has 3GB of RAM. However, its processor is listed as the “msm8953” which is also known as the Snapdragon 625.
Don’t fret, the Redmi Y3 isn’t using the same chipset as its predecessor. It is actually powered by the Snapdragon 632 just like the Redmi 7.
Geekbench is known to wrongly identify the Snapdragon 632 as the msm8953. It happened with the Moto G7 Play which actually launched with the Snapdragon 632 and not Snapdragon 625. Also, those scores are higher than those of phones powered by the Snapdragon 625.
