The lineup will be unveiled in China on July 14. The brand has recently revealed the series design, showcasing a new look with a square camera island featuring an internal pill-shaped module and rounded corners. The material also confirms blue and purple colorways in the series.
A Redmi product manager posted the poster online, prompting followers to ask details about the series. One includes the possibility of a price increase for the models. While the official did not directly answer, she told fans to “be prepared.”
