Redmi starts teasing « a new hero » that’s coming soon

Redmi is getting ready to unveil a new smartphone in India, and it’s started the teaser campaign for it today through its official X account.

As you can see, not much is revealed in the quick teaser video below, just that « hero mode » is loading and the letter R is featured quite prominently.

That may mean this device will have that letter in its name – Redmi 17R, perhaps? – or not. After all, Redmi starts with an R too.

Hopefully the brand will reveal more details about this…
