Without revealing any details about the model, the official invite features an image that shows a sketch of a human face on one side and a camera sensor on the other side. This hints at a selfie camera with AI-powered features.

Xiaomi already showcased its efforts towards enhanced selfies in the Redmi S2 that it claims as the "best Redmi selfie phone". The smartphone was arrived in November with an LED selfie-light. Moreover, it is likely to be called the Redmi Y2.

Price details about the new Xiaomi smartphone will certainly be announced at the June 7 event. However, if we consider it to be a Redmi S2 version for the Indian market, it could be another offering by the company under Rs. 15,000 price bracket.
