It’s interesting to note that Xiaomi is planning to introduce a 32MP selfie camera on a mid-range smartphone. Sure, a 32MP selfie camera phones are already available in the market but they cost upwards of Rs 20,000. Knowing Xiaomi, it is highly likely the Redmi Y3 will be priced below Rs 12,000. This may even become a trend that could catch in on more smartphones across different price brackets.
