Redmi Note 7 quick specs: Android 9.0 Pie smartphone. MIUI 10. Announced January 2019. Features 6.3-inch IPS LCD, Snapdragon 660 chipset, up to 4 GB RAM, up to 128 GB ROM, 48 MP dual camera, and 4000 mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.
This is the first phone under the newly announced Redmi sub-brand by Xiaomi. That means it carries the new Redmi logo. Also, we wish we could yell, “Death to the notch!” But not quite on this model. The 6.3-inch display has a water drop notch, a carry over from 2018. It does offer Gorilla Glass 5 protection on both front and back panels.
It looks like 2019 is going to go down as the year of the 48 MP camera. The Redmi Note 7 has one combined with a secondary 5 MP shooter. For selfies, there is a 13 megapixels lens at the front of the phone.
There are three variants of the Note 7, with RAM and internal storage configurations being the distinguishing factors. The base configuration matches 3 GB RAM with 32 GB storage, the second 4 GB RAM with 64 GB, while the third one combines 6 GB RAM with 64 GB storage.
Powering the phone is Qualcomm’s mid-range champion, Snapdragon 660, and Adreno 512 graphics processing unit. This chipset is powerful enough to deliver flagship performance in a mid-range device like this one. In terms of software, you have the latest and the greatest from Alphabet here, Android 9 Pie with Xiaomi’s custom MIUI 10 layer over it.
