Redmi Pro 2: What we know so far
A recent viral image showed the device alongside Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun. The tech community hints at a notch-less display, Pop-up Camera and In-display fingerprint scanner.
The design element could be in the similar lines of the recently launched Redmi Note 7. It could flaunt gradient color and the leaked image has a punchy red color. You could also see the device hasn’t ditched the 3.5mm headphone jack.
Rest, the Redmi Pro 2 could sport a 48MP camera like the Redmi Note 7 lineup phone(s). So, the back panel could also house a triple camera setup. The oncoming Redmi flagship could feature a ‘lifting camera’ mechanism, maybe another terminology for a pop-up camera.
