Original Story:
Xiaomi is all set to spin off its Redmi sub-brand as a new independent brand on Jan. 10 with the announcement of a new Redmi phone with 48-megapixel camerav. Rumors are claiming that the mysterious Redmi device could be arriving in the market as Redmi Pro 2 while other reports have claimed that it could be the Redmi 7 Pro handset. Three model numbers such as M1901F7C, M1901F7E and M1901F7T have now surfaced on TENAA with preliminary specs just ahead of the Jan. 10 launch event. This suggests that the newly approved devices by TENAA could be the variants of the alleged Redmi Pro 2.
Since the M1901F7C, M1901F7E and M1901F7T devices have the same dimensions, display size and battery, they are three variants of an upcoming Xiaomi device. The handset measures 159.21 x 75.21 x 8.1mm and houses a 6.3-inch display. It is packed with a 3,900mAh battery. Xiaomi’s Redmi series of smartphones with better specs have always carried big batteries. Hence, it appears that it could be the 48-megapixel Redmi phone that is scheduled to go official in the coming week.
The TENAA listings of M1901F7C, M1901F7E and M1901F7T do not have their images. These TENAA listings may get updated with full specifications and images in the next few days. The aforementioned model numbers have been also approved by China’s 3C authority in the previous month.
Rumors have it that the Redmi Pro 2 may arrive with a waterdrop notch screen and it could be fueled by the 11nm Snapdragon 675 chipset. However, there are no details available on the others. In the previous month, TENAA had approved M1901F9T and M1901F9E models. These model numbers belong to the Xiaomi Mi Play handset that went official on Dec. 24 in China. It is the first smartphone from the company that features a waterdrop notch enabled display. It is also the first phone to be fueled by MediaTek Helio P35. The other features of the Mi Play include 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of inbuilt storage, 12-megaipxel + 2-megapixel dual camera setup, 8-megapixel selfie camera and 3,000mAh battery.
