Could be amongst the 'new surprises' planned for this month
Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing recently posted a cryptic message on his Weibo page that said “new surprises” are coming out this month. The products that Xiaomi will unveil in the coming days are expected to include a Redmi phone with 5G support. However, the new models may also include the Redmi 10X 4G and Redmi 9.

A Chinese tipster has speculated on Weibo that Xiaomi has all three phones in the pipeline. However, he suggested that the Redmi 9 may arrive as Redmi 10.

Some earlier reports had tipped the Redmi 9 with model number M2003J15SC. A listing on the TENAA site also emerged carrying the same model. However, if we look at the latest findings, the new phone is expected to come with the model number M2004J19G.
