One of the latest launches from the company is the Redmi 7A, which is yet to be launched in India.

Now, there is a seeming confirmation regarding when the Redmi 7A might be launched in India. In an interview with 91mobiles, Xiaomi India's Head of Marketing Anuj Sharma has revealed that the Redmi 7A might reach the Indian market in the near future. However, there is no word regarding an exact launch date of the device.

Redmi 7A Launch Pegged For July

While an exact launch date is not known, the Xiaomi executive did confirm that the Redmi 7A will be launched either alongside the Redmi K20 series pegged for mid-July or a few days after the event. So, we can expect the Redmi 7A to be launched in India sometime in the second half of July.

Redmi 7A Specifications

Redmi 7A was unveiled in May in the company's home market China. It is the successor to the Redmi 6A launched last year. The latest offering comes with upgraded chipset and battery capacity but the other specifications remain the same.
