We are sensing that 2019 will be crazier than last year when it comes to launches. We are only three months into the year and we have already seen smartphone launches from Samsung, Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi, Realme, and there are so many more to follow. Next on the line is, once again. Redmi, which has scheduled an event on 18 March in China. While Redmi was until now believed to be unveiling a new smartphone, a
recent teaser by the company

translates the Redmi post
on Weibo as “Who said Redmi is just a mobile phone?”. [caption id=“attachment_6248381” align=“alignnone” width=“1024”]

Your guess is as good as ours. Simultaneously, Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing also
shared an image of the retail box of the Redmi 7
on his Weibo page recently. While the teaser does not reveal any details about the smartphone, from what we know so far, the Redmi 7 will be powered by the Snapdragon 632 processor. It will feature a 6.26-inch display with a waterdrop notch, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, dual rear cameras, a 4,000 mAh battery, and triple SIM support.
