Regrettably, Lu Weibing and Wang Teng did not reveal the details of the upcoming Redmi device. We know that Redmi is working on the Redmi Note 7 Pro and Redmi 7. The Redmi Note 7 Pro is equipped with a 48-megapixel ultra-clear camera (Sony IMX586) and it will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 mobile platform.
As of now, details on the Redmi 7 are not clear but Lei Jun, Xiaomi’s CEO said that the use of Snapdragon 855 SoC on a Redmi Phone has begun research and development. However, he did not disclose the specific release time.
Please make a redmi 7 under 71mm wide and with a good soc…
Hoping to see the redmi 7 pro with a 4000mah battery, SD 660, and the 48mp Samsung sensor… basically the redmi note 7 with a 5.8 inch screen. Would really like to see it with the sd675 and 48mp Sony sensor, but I highly doubt that.
