Redmi Note 7S specifications (expected)

As we mentioned, the Redmi Note 7S has been part of a series of teasers by the company. Xiaomi had first teased the Redmi Note 7S would bear a 48-megapixel camera. This was then followed up by the confirmation of a dual rear camera setup, a rear fingerprint sensor, and a Red colour variant in a photo that featured the company's India chief. Finally, a bunch of camera samples were shared by the company, which included "detailed daylight shots", a Portrait mode with depth-of-field bokeh effects for the selfie camera, as well as "amazing low-light shots." Flipkart is also teasing availability of the smartphone.

The Redmi Note 7S can be expected to be quite similar to the Redmi Note 7 and the Redmi Note 7 Pro, and it may very well be that Xiaomi launches the China variant of the Redmi Note 7 in India. To recall, the Redmi Note 7 was first launched in China in January, and then brought to India the next month when Xiaomi also unveiled the Redmi Note 7 Pro for the first time. The company decided to launch a more basic variant of the Redmi Note 7 in India in February, with a dual rear camera that features a 12-megapixel primary sensor with a secondary 2-megapixel depth sensor.

The China variant of the Redmi Note 7 featured a dual rear camera setup with a a 48-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL GM-1 sensor and a 5-megapixel depth sensor. Thus, with all the teasers about 48-megapixel cameras and the phone's design teased in the photo with Jain matching that of the Redmi Note 7, it certainly appears that the China variant of the Redmi Note 7 is being brought to the country.
