Xiaomi’s independent Redmi brand was recently tipped to have got a flagship model in the works. The device is rumoured to adopt the moniker Redmi Pro 2 and recently, the render of the model was leaked showing a pop-up camera design. The real-life picture of the supposed Redmi Pro 2 has now leaked on China’s Weibo.

The leakster only indicated that the phone is Xiaomi’s Snapdragon 855 flagship but no mention of Redmi Pro 2 was made. The device is also detailed to feature triple rear cameras and that is visible from the picture. The pop-up camera design will ensure the bezels around the display are minimal and the device will have a high screen-to-body ratio. The camera is at the middle while two antenna bands run adjacent at the left and right sides. While there is no evidence the model will be called Redmi Pro 2, the innovative pop-up design aptly fits the iteration considering that the Redmi Pro released in 2016 was Xiaomi’s first dual camera phone. Thus, it won’t be a bad idea if the first pop-up camera-packing phone is called Redmi Pro 2.

The Redmi brand is turning out to be a brand full of surprises. Just a few months in the market, we are already getting inundated with spectacular products under the brand. First, we saw the Redmi Note 7 with its rock-solid Gorilla glass that just won’t break. Then the Redmi Note 7 Pro joined the fray with a powerful Sony IMX586 48MP sensor and Snapdragon 675 chipset. The budget Redmi 7 that didn’t in any way look like a budget phone was also unveiled recently. Away from smartphones, Redmi also added several new products like a washing machine, Airdots earbuds etc. There is no word yet on when the pop-up camera-packing model will be launched but we expect that to happen sometime soon.
