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.

In the previous month, the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) had certified several existing and unannounced smartphones from Xiaomi. The smartphones approved by EEC are expected to debut in Europe in future. Few more Xiaomi handsets were also certified yesterday by the EEC.

Smartphones such as Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, Mi 8, Mi 8 Explorer Edition, Mi 8 SE, Mi 8 Pro, Redmi 6, Redmi 6 Pro, Redmi 6A, Redmi 6S and Redmi 6X were certified by the EEC yesterday. As it can be seen, some of these smartphones have already launched in China, but Mi A2 Lite, Mi 8 Pro, Redmi 6S and 6X are yet to go official. EEC certificate was issued to these smartphones on June 14, 2018 and it is valid until January 2027.

The Mi A2 Lite with a model number of M1805D15SG was spotted at the Singapore’s Communications Authority in the previous month. Apart from this, there is no other information available on this smartphone.

Among the recently introduced Redmi 6 series, the Redmi 6 Pro features a notched 19:9 display whereas the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A phones have notch-less 18:9 display. Since the Redmi 6 and 6X are not “Pro” models, there is a possibility that they arrive with full screen design like the Redmi 6 and 6A smartphones.

The Mi 8 Pro was not announced at the launch event of Mi 8, Mi 8 Explorer Edition and Mi 8 SE that was held at the end of May. There is a possibility that the Mi 8 Pro could be nothing but the highest storage variant of the Mi 8 that features 256 GB of storage.

Apart from the aforementioned devices, smartphones like Mi 7 Lite, Mi Mix 2s, Mi Mix 3S, Mi S1, Mi S2, Mi S3, Redmi S1, Redmi S3, Redmi A1, Redmi A2, Redmi Note 6, Redmi Note 6A, Redmi Note 6A Prime, Redmi Note 6 Prime, Redmi 6 Plus, and Redmi 6A Plus were also approved by EEC in May. Xiaomi made its foray into the Eastern Europe earlier this year including its launch in Russia and it is also working on expanding its business in Western Europe. Hence, it appears that all the Xiaomi phones that have been approved by EEC recently may soon begin launching in Europe.

Xiaomi has released a bunch of new devices this year and this is just the fifth month. If you are eager to know what Xiaomi has planned for the next 6 months or more, then this should excite you.

A list of Xiaomi products (released and mostly unreleased) just surfaced online. It was seen on the website of the Eurasian Economic Commission and mentions a bunch of unreleased phones under the Mi and Redmi series. It also includes the already launched Mi MIX 2s and the spanking new Redmi S2.

The Xiaomi Mi 7 is rumored to launch this month but it seems it will bring along a less powerful variant called Mi 7 Lite. There is also a new S-series that includes the Mi S1, Mi S2, Mi S3, Redmi S1, and Redmi S3.

The Mi MIX 2s will also have a successor called the Mi MIX 3s which makes us wonder if there will be no Mi MIX 3. The Redmi series will also be getting some new members.

The list mentions a Redmi A1 and Redmi A2 in addition to successors to the already existing Redmi series. So we should expect the Redmi Note 6, Redmi Note 6A, Redmi Note 6a Prime, Redmi Note 6 Prime, Redmi 6 Plus, and Redmi 6a Plus will replace the current Redmi lineup.

Which of these devices are you looking forward to?
