In a tweet sent out earlier today, the company divulged that the upcoming Redmi Y-series smartphone will be launched in India on April 24. The company has also sent out media invites, which states that the Redmi Y3's launch event will kick off at 12:00 pm IST. 

The accompanying hashtag "#32MPSuperSelfie" serves as an indication that the smartphone, heavily rumoured to be named as Redmi Y3, will come equipped with a 32MP front camera. The image shows the front panel of a smartphone with a waterdrop notch whose shape resembles The Redmi Note 7.

It is also being tipped that the Redmi Y3 might employ Samsung's 32MP ISOCELL Bright GD1 image sensor that was announced back in October last year. In a previous tweet, the company had teased that the Redmi Y3 will also pack a large battery that will provide users with some relief from the woes of their smartphone dying at the end of the day. 

There is no information regarding the battery capacity or support for fast charging, but rumours suggest that Redmi Y3 may be powered by a 4000mAh battery. However, this could turn out to be mere speculation.

The Redmi Y3 was recently spotted on the database of WiFi Alliance, indicating that a launch is imminent. While the WiFI certification didn't reveal anything specific about the Redmi Y3's internal hardware specifications, it did confirm that the Redmi Y3 - carrying model number M1810F6G - will run MIUI 10 based Android Pie and will have support for WiFi 802.11 b/g/n standards.
