Earlier this week, Xiaomi announced about separating the Redmi series as a sub-brand. The company also confirmed that it is launching a new Redmi smart phone in China on January 10.
The new Redmi smart phone by Xiaomi will be equipped with a 48-megapixel sensor. The Redmi phone has now been spotted on TENAA certification site, revealing specifications and design details ahead of the launch.
The phone is listed in three model numbers - M1901F7C, M1901F7T, and M1901F7E. As far as the specifications are concerned, it comes with a gradient back panel design, and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, and a 6.3-inch water drop notch.

The listing reveals a dual rear camera setup aligned vertically, a rear fingerprint scanner, and a pink and purple gradient back panel. 'Redmi by Xiaomi' branding can be seen on the rear panel. The listings suggest that the smart phone will pack a 4,000mAh battery, and dimensions will measure at 159.21x75.21x8.1mm.
The TENAA listing disproves previous reports that suggest a display hole for selfie camera design on the upcoming Redmi phone.
Previous reports also suggested that this Redmi smart phone may be called the Redmi Pro 2, and will be powered by the Snapdragon 675 SoC. However, according to the recent reports it will be called the Redmi 7.
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has confirmed that the main focus of Redmi sub-brand will be performance/ price ratio, and being e-commerce friendly. On the other hand, Mi series will focus more on mid to high end segments and focus on new retail.
It is expected that the new Redmi smart phone will be priced aggressively and will be available online only.
