Xiaomi's now independent sub-brand Redmi recently launched its first smartphone after the split. The company is very bullish about the Redmi Note 7, and is targeting to sell about 1 million units of the new smartphone in the first month. The Redmi Note 7 is powered by a Snapdragon 660 SoC with prices starting at CNY 999 (roughly Rs. 10,300). What is also interesting is that the Note 7 has support for 18W fast charging but does not come with a fast charger in the box.

While Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun was promoting the 18W charger for the Redmi Note 7 on Weibo, a user of the social media platform inquired if the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 9 will support 24W charging. For this question, Lei Jun replied affirmatively saying it will be "better" (via Google Translate).
