While it was known that Xiaomi is planning to launch the entry-level Redmi 7A smartphone in the Indian market soon, there was no official confirmation from the company regarding the same.
However, that has now changed as Xiaomi India has officially teased the arrival of the Redmi 7A (Full Specs) smartphone in India. While the company has not revealed the launch date, it has asked its fans to guess the launch date.
In the same tweet, the company revealed that so far, it has managed to sell over 23.6 million units of the Redmi 4A, Redmi 5A, and Redmi 6A smartphones in India. It further added that the number of units sold is more than the total population of Australia.
