A new leak suggests that Xiaomi‘s sub-brand Redmi may be gearing up to release a phone with an unusually large 7-inch display. Words for this come from tipster Digital Chat Station, who claims that the brand is working on two phones for its future generation.
One is a normal 6.59-inch screen in the mid-range Pro segment, and another is built around a massive 7-inch panel meant for heavy performance use.
While the tipster has not named the brand outright, their past leaks have often turned out to be tied to Redmi devices, and this one is expected to follow the same pattern.
The leaks are building
This isn’t the first time such a device has come up in the rumor mill. Back in February, the same source hinted that two companies were testing out 7-inch phones without giving further details.
Then in early April, a fresh leak hinted that Redmi is working on a 7-inch display and 10,000mAh battery. By late April, more specifics emerged, including support for 2K resolution and a high refresh rate, details that lined up with an earlier report on a Redmi K100 series device tipped with a 7-inch 2K screen.
Redmi isn’t the only brand said to be exploring bigger screens. The same tipster recently also claimed that Honor is also working on its own 7-inch phone with a 185Hz refresh rate, alongside a separate 6.89-inch model built on a 2nm chip.
For context, most current flagships — including the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, Huawei Mate 80 Pro Max, and iPhone 17 Pro Max — top out around 6.9 inches. If these leaks hold up, 2026 could be the year screen sizes push well past that mark.
