Xiaomi‘s Redmi series is usually refreshed about every six/seven months. The Redmi 4 launched in May 2017 and its successor, the Redmi 5 was announced in December of the same year. The Redmi 6 was announced six months later and now news of the Redmi 7 has started floating around the web.
A few days ago, it was reported that a couple of Xiaomi phones said to be variants of the Redmi 7 were certified by China’s communications commission. Now, a live image has surfaced on the web that shows the Redmi Pro 7 alongside its retail box.
The Redmi 5 and Redmi 6 both launched with an 18:9 aspect ratio thanks to their reduced bezels. The Redmi Pro 7 will even have much thinner bezels as it embraces the water-drop notch design that was one of the trends this year. The retail box also has an orange hue instead of a white or even red box as the series is known for.
Unfortunately, the specs of the Redmi 7 Pro were not revealed. There are speculations that it will be powered by a Snapdragon 632 processor which has been termed the successor to the Snapdragon 625 that powers the Redmi 6 Pro. There are also unconfirmed reports that its battery capacity will be smaller. We advise you take these with a pinch of salt. What will most likely resurface in the Redmi Pro 7 are dual rear cameras and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
