Redmi is reportedly building a smartphone with a 7-inch display, a size that breaks from the current industry standard for high-end devices. This shift matters because it challenges the assumption that performance phones must stay under 7 inches to remain manageable. Buyers looking for maximum screen real estate in a handheld form factor will want to watch this development closely.
Leaked specs suggest a large-screen Android device targeting power users
The device would be a performance-oriented smartphone from Xiaomi's Redmi sub-brand. Leaks from tipster Digital Chat Station suggest the company is testing a large-screen Android device designed for power users. This follows earlier hints from February 2026 about large-screen projects within the brand.
Rumored Specifications
- Display Size: 7-inch
- Display Resolution: 2K
- Battery Capacity: 10,000mAh
- Refresh Rate: High refresh rate
Key specifications emerging from April 2026 leaks point to a 2K resolution display paired with a high refresh rate. The device is also rumored to house a massive 10,000mAh battery to support the larger panel and performance components. These specs aim to balance visual fidelity with all-day power usage.
The rumored 7-inch form factor would exceed the current flagship ceiling of approximately 6.9 inches. Other manufacturers like Honor are also reportedly testing 7-inch phones with refresh rates up to 185Hz. This suggests a broader industry shift toward larger screens in 2026 rather than an isolated experiment by Redmi.
