Taking into consideration the all-new phones from Xiaomi that launched yesterday, the Redmi Note 7 and Redmi Note 7 Pro, which offer some really top of the line specifications along with an even better camera at a pretty competitive price, it would be interesting to see how other manufacturers react to it, and whether this could lead to more price cuts from other manufacturers as well.
