Since the launch of the Redmi Note 7 in China, there has been a lot of anticipation on when the smartphone will launch in India. Finally, Xiaomi India has confirmed that it’s going to bring a 48MP camera smartphone to the sub-continent, which of course, will be the Redmi Note 7. However, it’s unknown whether Xiaomi will launch the Redmi Note 7 that’s launched in China with the Samsung 48MP sensor or the rumoured Redmi Note 7 Pro with the Sony 48MP sensor. It’s entirely possible that the Redmi Note 7 Pro with the Sony 48MP rear sensor could make its debut as it has been subjected to numerous leaks and rumours in recent times. To recall, Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 5 Pro in India first, but it announced the Redmi Note 5 with better cameras in China.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Launching in India Very Soon
Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi India’s Managing Director, announced this news Twitter, followed by a formal announcement by Redmi India’s official Twitter handle. The highlight of the Redmi Note 7 is the 48MP camera on the rear side and Xiaomi India is touting the same. Notably, it will be the second smartphone with a 48MP camera to launch in India as the first one would be the Honor View 20 that’s launching on January 29. Nevertheless, the Honor View 20 is a flagship smartphone which is expected to around Rs 40,000, but the Redmi Note 7 is a mid-range handset which is rumoured to cost less than Rs 15,000. The starting price of the Redmi Note 7 in China in 999 Yuan (approx. Rs 10,500).
