Redmi Note 7 India launch is expected soon, and the phone will come with a 48-megapixel rear camera
Redmi Note 7 is coming to India soon, teased Xiaomi India head Manu Kumar Jain on Twitter. The smartphone was launched in China with a 48-megapixel rear camera sensor earlier this month. Apart from housing the advanced camera sensor, the Redmi Note 7 is the first smartphone of the 'Redmi by Xiaomi' sub-brand that was announced earlier this month. Xiaomi notably teased the launch of the Redmi Note 7 Pro at the Redmi Note 7 event that could also make way to the Indian market in the coming days. At this point, it is unclear if Xiaomi plans to release both Redmi Note 7 and Redmi Note 7 Pro phones in India, or just one of these phones.
Xiaomi India Managing Director Manu Kumar Jain on Thursday tweeted his image along with Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun holding the Redmi Note 7 in his hand. The tweet also includes upside down text that specifies the arrival of the 48-megapixel camera phone. The tweeted reads: "We're gonna turn this industry upside down. Amazing #48MP is coming!
The Redmi Note 7 was unveiled in China earlier this month with a starting price of CNY 999 (roughly Rs. 10,500) for the 3GB RAM/ 32GB storage option. The USP of the new phone is indeed its 48-megapixel Samsung GM1 sensor that sits on the dual rear camera setup, along with an f/1.8 aperture and another 5-megapixel sensor. The Redmi Note 7 also comes as the first model of the 'Redmi by Xiaomi' sub-brand.
At the time unveiling the Redmi Note 7, Xiaomi also teased the launch of the Redmi Note 7 Pro that is set to come with a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 primary sensor at the back. The smartphone is rumoured to come under the Redmi by Xiaomi sub-brand next month - sometime around the Chinese New Year.
