Redmi is now an independent brand. It has been months now. In January this year, Redmi separated from Mi to become an independent entity and bring power-packed phones at various price segments. It must be noted that Redmi is an independent brand in China for now. In markets like India, Redmi and Mi come under Xiaomi brand name. Around four phones have already been launched under the Redmi brand this year. The phones are the Redmi Note 7, the Redmi Note 7 Pro, the Redmi Y3 and the Redmi Go. It now looks like Xiaomi wants to be everywhere. We say this because Redmi is now moving its focus to flagship level phones too. The company GM confirmed months ago that Redmi is soon going to launch its flagship device powered by Snapdragon 855 processor and several other flagship-level specs and features. Rumours had suggested that the Redmi flagship will launch on May 13 in Beijing, but looks like the rumours were not authentic.
