Xiaomi is revealing a new Redmi smartphone with a 48MP camera next week

As teased earlier, Xiaomi will be unveiling a new smartphone that features a 48MP camera at the rear sometime in January this year. The Chinese smartphone maker has just revealed a date for an upcoming event that’s taking place next week.

Xiaomi has just posted on their Weibo page that a new Redmi device will be announced in Beijing at 2PM on 10th January 2019. If you look closer, there’s a shadow that reads 4800 underneath the Redmi logo. This is a hint that the device has a 48MP camera and if case you didn’t know, China usually measures their pixel count by ten thousand (万). So a 20MP camera is often written as 2000万.

There’s hardly any details on the device but it is speculated to be called the Redmi Pro 2. It is likely that Xiaomi will utilise Sony’s IMX586 sensor which is currently featured on the Honor View20 and Huawei Nova 4.

The first Redmi Pro that was launched in 2016 was Xiaomi’s first dual-camera smartphone with flagship-level specs. Unfortunately, that device wasn’t sold in Malaysia.

We will find out more when the device is revealed on the 10th January 2019.
