Redmi Note 7 India launch teased once again, possibly taking a jab at Samsungs Galaxy M series

Xiaomi and Redmi are now separate brands, but the latter still comes under Xiaomi’s umbrella, just like Poco. The first phone to launch with the standalone Redmi branding was the Redmi Note 7, which became official in China on January 10. The phone is now headed to India and both Xiaomi and Redmi have been teasing the device’s 48MP camera setup on their Indian social media handles. Last week, the Redmi Note 7 teasers promised market disruption, hinting at a highly competitive pricing for the device. Now, just a couple of days after Samsung launched its new budget and mid-range Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20 smartphones in India, Xiaomi and Redmi are once again teasing the imminent launch of the Redmi Note 7 in India. Only this time, it looks like the teaser takes a jab at the new Galaxy M series. The head-turning teaser posted by Xiaomi and Redmi states - “Good things come to those who wait.” Since the text is inverted, the ‘W’ in wait is highlighted to look like an ‘M’. The teaser image is accompanied by the words 48MP, referring to the 48MP camera setup on the Redmi Note 7. Multiple comments on the teaser tweeted out by Xiaomi and Redmi suggest that the Redmi Note 7 could launch in India on February 14. Xiaomi could also unveil the Redmi Note 7 Pro alongside the Redmi Note 7 in India. If that is the case, the Feb 14 Valentine’s Day launch could be possible since Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 5 Pro in India on the same date last year. In fact, the launch of the Redmi Note 7 Pro was tipped to happen in February and a recent report had even claimed that the Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 7 Pro and Redmi Go will all be launched in India in the first quarter of 2019.   It's gonna be legen… wait for it… dary! #ԀW8ᔭ pic.twitter.com/qUYb4a9myp — Mi India (@XiaomiIndia) January 29, 2019   Redmi Note 7 Specs Given its China pricing, the Redmi Note 7 is the the most affordable 48MP camera smartphone.
