In Summary With its edgy design, Maglev pop-up triggers, and gaming optimizations, the Poco F3 GT is being seen by many as a “gaming phone.” The truth, however, is that even without the gaming garnishing, the Poco F3 GT is a formidable phone.

Taking into consideration the previous generation Redmi Y2 that also focussed on better image quality and provided a 16MP sensor, we can expect its successor, the Redmi Y3 to showcase some good quality images out of its 32MP sensor on the front. Y wait? The #32MPSuperSelfie is coming your way soon....

Snapdragon 845 (unofficial name) should be presented next month, however, contrary to what was said, can keep the manufacturing in 10nm. The war inside the mobile processors is firmer than ever.
