Redmi 7 will debut in China on March 18 -- alongside the Redmi Note 7 Pro -- Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing confirmed on Monday. Weibing posted an image on Weibo that shows the design of the Redmi 7. The phone is seen to sport a waterdrop-style display notch and come in gradient colour options. Notably, the Redmi 7 will be the successor to the Redmi 6 that was launched last year. Xiaomi also last year brought the Redmi 6A and Redmi 6 Pro as the two other models in the Redmi 6 family.

Among other developments, Weibing's post on Weibo confirms the launch date of the Redmi 7. The phone will debut at the same venue where Xiaomi is set to launch the China variant of the Redmi Note 7 Pro.

In addition to revealing the release date, Weibing posted an image that shows the Redmi 7 from various angles. It confirms that there is a waterdrop-style display notch on the upcoming phone alongside a gradient-finish back panel that has a room for a fingerprint sensor and dual rear camera setup.
