An alleged teaser of Mi 7 – Xiaomi’s flagship phone – put up on Weibo reveals the launch date of the phone. The poster, which has a burning number 7 in the middle and Mi logo on the top-right corner, mentions May 23 as the date of unveiling. However, the image came from a source other than Xiaomi, making us question its credibility.

Given that the Mi 7 is well-past its yearly launch cycle (the Mi 6 was launched in April last year), the launch date mentioned above doesn’t sound implausible.
Will Xiaomi Launch the Mi 7 in India?
For those keeping track, the Mi 6 was not launched in India. Xiaomi did introduce a high-end phone Mi Mix 2 (Review) later. Since Xiaomi is in the process of launching at least one of its flagship phones here, either Mi 7 or Mi Mix 2S can make it to the Indian shores.
