Redmi Note 7 Global Variant Teased Yet Again, Launch Imminent

Redmi Note 7 was launched in China earlier this month, and its big highlight was its 48-megapixel rear sensor. The smartphone has already been teased to arrive in India soon, and now more hints of a Redmi Note 7 global variant have surfaced online. Xiaomi global spokesperson Donovan Sung has now tweeted a photo suggesting that the Redmi Note 7 global variant is set to launch soon. Apart from the large camera sensor, the Redmi Note 7 also packs a 4,000mAh battery, 2.5D glass protection up front and at the back as well, and comes with a 6.3-inch large display size.

Sung has tweeted a photo that shows a stage with a screen that reads, 'Redmi Note 7. Stay Tuned'. This clearly hints that the global variant of the Redmi Note 7 is in the offing. Recently, India head Manu Kumar Jain also teased the arrival of the smartphone in India, and the first market to get the Redmi Note 7 outside of China, could be the Indian market.

In China, the Redmi Note 7 is priced starting at CNY 999 (roughly Rs. 10,500) for the 3GB RAM/ 32GB storage option, going up to CNY 1,199 (roughly Rs. 12,400) for the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage option, and CNY 1,399 (roughly Rs. 14,500) for the 6GB RAM + 64GB storage option. The Redmi Note 7's India price is likely to be around the China pricing.

The Redmi Note 7 with the Samsung GM1 48-megapixel sensor also comes as the first model of the 'Redmi by Xiaomi' sub-brand, and the company is set to launch the Redmi Note 7 Pro with Sony IMX586 48-megapixel sensor soon.
