Redmi recently split from its parent brand Xiaomi to work independently. While the brand used to focus on entry-level and mid-range smartphones, the company is now working on flagship smartphones as well.
Earlier, it was rumored that Redmi was working on a smartphone powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 octa-core processor, which was later confirmed by the company’s executive, but not much was shared regarding the phone.
Now, a Redmi smartphone named Redmi Pro 2 has surfaced online on Weibo, which seems to have a pop-up front-facing camera — similar to what we’ve seen on the Vivo V15 Pro and Oppo F11 Pro. The upcoming OnePlus 7 is also expected to have the same type of pop-up camera for the selfie snapper.
The phone has a notch-less and hole-less display, which matches the description of the smartphone that was recently seen with the Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun. The render of the upcoming Redmi flagship smartphone shows a triple camera sensor on the back — a first for the Chinese company.
Previous reports have indicated the phone will come with a 48-megapixel camera sensor from Sony on the back side, along with two other sensors. This is the same camera sensor that is used in the Redmi Note 7 Pro smartphone.
According to the text in the leaked image, the Pro model of the smartphone will also come with an in-display fingerprint sensor, which has now become a trend. This could be the first device from the newly independent brand to have an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Apart from this leaked image, nothing more is known about this upcoming Redmi flagship smartphone powered by Snapdragon 855 SoC. But it’s known that the device won’t be making its debut anytime soon and could launch in the second half of this year.
