In a press conference in New Delhi, Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 7 in India – just a couple of months after it launched the Redmi Note 6 Pro in the market. The company also launched the Redmi Note 7 Pro at the event.
Xiaomi has been the number one smartphone brand in India, the company's biggest market outside of China, since over a year now and much of its success and positive mindshare has been piggybacking on its bestselling Note series.
The Redmi Note 7 is Xiaomi's first smartphone under its new Redmi sub-brand.
Not the 48MP camera
While the Redmi Note 7 Pro sports the much-hyped 48MP rear camera, the Redmi Note 7 comes with a 12MP camera combined with a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there's a 13MP camera for your selfies. Of course, there are the AI smarts like the scene detection, AI Portrait 2.0, et al.
A new design, finally
Xiaomi has finally decided to refresh its design language with the Redmi Note 7 going with the now common glass sandwich design. It does sport some eye-catching gradient colors making the smartphone stand out in a crowd. There's 2.5D curved glass, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both front and back.
The display on the front is 6.3-inch Full HD+ LCD.
Mid-range specifications
The Redmi Note 7 is powered by a Snapdragon 660 chipset, which is pretty powerful for a budget device. The Redmi Note 7 packs comes in two memory variants – 4GB + 64GB and 3GB + 32 GB.
Other specs include a 4,000mAh battery, USB Type-C connectivity (finally!), an IR blaster, and a headphone jack.
