The Redmi brand, which
**recently split** from parent company Xiaomi, looks to be moving out of the budget and mid-range segment to launch its own flagship device. [caption id=“attachment_6385411” align=“alignnone” width=“800”] Redmi 2 Pro render. Weibo[/caption] The smartphone’s render, which is being called as the Redmi Pro 2, has been spotted on Weibo. The phone is expected to be coming with a Snapdragon 855 chipset and a 4,800 mAh phone. The device also happens to have a pop-out camera like the Vivo V11 Pro (Review) . This would give the device a near bezel-less screen or at least that’s how it appears in the renders. The device is also shown to have a triple-camera setup which would make it a first for Redmi phones. One of the cameras could also be the 48 MP sensor like the Redmi Note 7 Pro (Review) . The text in the rendered image also points towards an in-display fingerprint sensor, which will also be a first for the device. The phone doesn’t look to have ditched the headphone jack as well and we should see a type-C port in the device. A device that looks like the render was also spotted in Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun’s hands as well. This could indicate that the launch of the smartphone is imminent.
