Following an earlier rumour that Xiaomi might launch the fourth generation Redmi Note in India in January, the company has now launched a promotional scheme in the country, hinting at the official launch of Redmi Note 3 successor.
Xiaomi India asked its fans on Twitter to participate in Mi Explorer campaign to win the new Redmi product and also get a free entry pass to attend the launch event. It is already live and will close on December 30. Though there is no specific mention of the device's name, we believe the mystery phone is the Redmi Note 4, as the company had conducted similar Explorer program before the Redmi Note 3 launch earlier in the year.

The rest of the specifications, such as the screen, RAM, camera and battery capacity, are expected to be the same as seen in the original model.
