After a few days of teasers and speculations, it’s finally official. The Xiaomi Redmi 7 model is meeting us alongside the Redmi Note 7 Pro on March 18. As the name suggests, the phone will be placed below the Redmi Note 7 series, coming with less powerful internals, at a budget price tag.

An hour ago, Redmi’s recently appointed General Manager, Lu Weibing confirmed this news via Weibo. Apart from confirming the date, he also revealed the design of the handset.

The Redmi 7 is reminiscent of its elder Note series sibling. So, you have the same camera arrangement at the back as well as fingerprint placement. However, you should have less fancy color options for this model. In the image, we can see that there will be at least three color variants for the Redmi 7 – Black, Blue, and what looks like a Sunrise Red color. The front is also similar to the elder sibling, featuring a teardrop display with a thick bottom bezel.

The phone has already passed TENAA, so we know most of its specs. The upcoming model will come with a 6.2-inch IPS LCD display, which is only slightly smaller than the Redmi Note 7. The resolution is said to be HD+ while the processor will most likely be Snapdragon 632, starting at 2GB + 16GB memory configuration. There should be additional 3/4GB RAM variants as well. The phone is expected to start at around $105.

Brace for a bunch of official teasers in the next few days.
