Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro is one of the two smartphones with a massive 48-megapixel camera sensor, the other being the Honor V20 that is set to launch in India as Honor View 20 late this month.

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 7 in China earlier this month at a price starting at 999 yuan (approximately Rs 10,500), which is opposite of what everyone speculated initially going by the camera specifications. This was accompanied by the announcement that Redmi is now a sub-brand and will cater to the mid- and budget-range. The Redmi Note 7 Pro is currently on sale in China.
Jain did not specify the exact timelines for the launch of Redmi Note 7 in his tweet, however, it is expected the smartphone will debut in India sometime in February. It is noteworthy that Xiaomi launched the predecessor Redmi Note 5 in India in the same month last year.
On the sidelines of the Redmi Note 7 launch event in China, Xiaomi teased the arrival of the Redmi Note 7 Pro with a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 camera around the time of Chinese new year. The company could launch both Redmi Note 7 and Redmi Note 7 Pro in India at the same event.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor, however, it is reported the Redmi Note 7 Pro could be integrated with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor. The former has a 6.3-inch full-HD+ display with a waterdrop notch at the top. It has a dual setup of cameras at the back – a 48-megapixel sensor and a 5-megapixel sensor. On the front, the smartphone has a 13-megapixel sensor.
