Redmi Note 7 teased as a Flipkart exclusive

Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the Redmi Note 7 in India at the end of the month. The teaser page on Flipkart with the hashtag #JustHere seems to hint at its being a Flipkart exclusive.

The Redmi Note 7 was launched in China last month, and has already sold over a million units. We don't have a concrete indication of the price as yet, which will be the biggest takeaway from the launch event in New Delhi.
