Xiaomi is rumored to launch a Redmi phone with 18:9 display

Just after the recent release of the Mi Mix 2, Xiaomi is yet rumored to launch a Redmi phone sporting an 18:9 display.

Rumor has it that Xiaomi is gearing up to bring the 18:9 display to its budget Redmi lineup of smartphones in the coming months. This rumor has been spotted from a Weibo user after saying that Tianma, a China-based screen manufacturer, is preparing display panels for the Mi Mix 2 model but a well-known analyst, Pan Jiutang, said the Mi Mix 2 will not use a display from the said manufacturer.

However, Tianma revealed that it’s, indeed, making 18:9 panels and it is speculated that these panels will appear on future Redmi phones. Some are saying that the first Redmi device to sport this display is the upcoming Redmi Note 5 or the Redmi Note 6.

Let’s all wait for further deets on this one!
