The tweet also suggested that it is done to reduce the risk of Covid-19 to Xiaomi fans. Manu doesn’t disappoint here as the tweet promises a live stream instead of an event. So basically, the phone is launching but not at an actual event rather on a virtual platform.
Redmi’s competitor Realme has also scheduled an event for March 5 but the company hasn’t updated anything yet. We guess that the actual launch is happening.
Other than this, the upcoming Redmi and Realme smartphones will feature almost similar specs and great features. Tell us in the comment section, which one excites you more?
