Yesterday, Redmi had conveyed through Weibo that it will be making a new announcement today. Keeping true to its promise, the Chinese brand released the first teaser of an upcoming Redmi phone earlier today on the microblogging website. The teaser reveals that the forthcoming Redmi flagship phone will come equipped with a pop-up selfie shooter.
The new video teaser showcases the new “Avengers: Endgame” movie along with some images of the recently released Redmi phones in between. At the end of the video, a mysterious Redmi phone shows up with notch-less display design along with a pop-up selfie camera. Redmi is using “flagship” term to tease the phone, but its exact name is still under the wraps.
Could the mysterious Redmi smartphone with pop-up selfie camera be the Snapdragon 855 powered phone? Rumors have claimed that the Snapdragon 855 Redmi smartphone will be arriving with up to 8 GB of RAM, up to 128 GB of inbuilt storage, 32-megapixel selfie camera, 48-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 13-megapixeel triple camera, NFC, 3.5mm audio jack and a display of 6.39 inches. While many rumors have stated that it will be arriving with a notch-less display, other sources have also claimed that it could be featuring a punch-hole display. Redmi General Manger Lu Weibing had claimed in the recent past that the Redmi SD855 will deliver stronger performance, better cameras, high screen-to-body ratio and affordable price tag.
Rumors have it that there is an upcoming Redmi phone powered by Snapdragon 730 SoC. It is rumored to include a notch-less screen and a pop-up front camera. It is speculated to arrive with 4,000mAh battery and 48-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 13-megapixel triple camera system. This phone seems to have been officially teased by Xiaomi India Managing Director, Manu Kumar Jain in the past week. Jain has hinted that the company will be soon launching a Snapdragon 730 powered smartphone in India. However, he did not share any other information on the phone.
Redmi may want to launch a less powerful phone before it unveils the Redmi Snapdragon 855 smartphone. Hence, it is advisable to wait for further teasers from the company to confirm whether it is the SD730 or SD855 powered Redmi phone.
