Xiaomi, through its official Redmi India Twitter handle has shared a teaser video that says “The #RealYou Smartphone is Coming” on June 7 in India. This smartphone will be launched in India at an event in New Delhi. Well, apart from revealing that a new smartphone is coming on June 7 to India, the video doesn’t reveal much about the smartphone itself. However, the caption to this teaser video does say “The BEST selfie smartphone is arriving soon” which hints at this new smartphone being a selfie-centric smartphone.
Last year in November, Xiaomi launched the Redmi Y1 smartphone in India which was a selfie-centric smartphone and came with a 16 MP front camera. Well, this new smartphone that Xiaomi is launching next month in India could turn out to be the Redmi Y1 successor, however, it could also be the Redmi S2 that Xiaomi recently launched in China.
Either way, there have been rumors of Xiaomi planning to launch the Redmi S2 in India, but instead of MIUI, it is said to come with stock Android as it would be an Android One device. Well, there’s still some time for the launch, hence, you can expect Xiaomi to reveal more details of this smartphone through teaser videos and images in the coming days.
