The Redmi Y3 is the selfie-focused smartphone from Xiaomi, with a 32-megapixel front camera. The phone’s ‘Aura Prism’ design looks striking but the glossy finish on the back and sides means it does attract fingerprints and smudges very easily. The 6.26-inch display only has an HD+ resolution so images and text don’t look their sharpest when viewed beside a phone with a similar sized full-HD+ panel. There’s also face recognition, which isn’t as quick as the solution offered by Realme, but still works well.
Camera Specification
The main reason for considering the Redmi Y3 is its 32-megapixel front camera, and now it’s time to see how it fares when pitted against the competition. Xiaomi has smartly used a 4-in-1 oversampling technique that saves an 8-megapixel image by default. This reduces the file size so photos take up less space on your phone and are easier to share. You can, however, shoot using the full 32-megapixel resolution using a toggle in the viewfinder.
What is Google Camera (Gcam)!
If you’re a mobile photography lover then you should know about the GCam app. But if you don’t know, then the Google Camera app offers plenty of useful features like Portrait mode, AR Stickers, Google Lens suggestion, PhotoSphere, Lens Blur, Night Sight, HDR+ enhanced, RAW image support, and more. All of these features can also be found on other stock camera apps but they can’t be so effective when it comes to the performance.
The Google Camera app simply delivers the best in the class image and video quality even in low lighting conditions. The portrait mode, saturation level, brightness level, exposure, dynamic range, background blur effect with nice edge detection, etc are properly maintained on the images taken from the GCam app. Form the very first use, you can start noticing the difference.
