Upcoming Xiaomi phones in India? Here’s a list of the upcoming Xiaomi phones in India in April and in the following weeks. Starting from the Redmi K30 Pro to Mi 10 to Redmi 9, there’s a lot Xiaomi is set to bring to India.

There have been flying rumours that Redmi K30 Pro may launch as a rebranded Poco X2 Pro in India.

The Poco X2 in India has been the same rebranded Redmi K30 4G from China.

While there’s more in the kitty for Xiaomi, the company recently reacted sharply to the GST hike for smartphones in the country. The pricing strategy for Xiaomi India is also likely to change, so we are yet to see what the company does with its next release.

Here’s a list of the upcoming Xiaomi phones in India in April and the following weeks.

Poco F2 / Poco X2 Pro

In India, the upcoming Redmi K30 Pro may launch as Poco F2 as per some reports.
