Chinese electronics maker Xiaomi is gearing up to announce a new phone in their affordable Redmi lineup. The Redmi 7 has been spotted on TENAA, the certification agency behind Chinese telecommunications authority. From the pictures, we can deduce that the phone will have a gradient design on the back and from the looks of it, the rear panel is made out of polycarbonate.
In addition, some key specifications of the Redmi 7 were also revealed through the TENAA listing.
