Redmi Note 7S: what is the big deal about the SUPER Redmi Note?

The Redmi Note 7 has been successful and now the Redmi Note 7S has been announced, but don’t get excited about it. It is basically the same phone as the global Note 7. Yes; you read that right.

What do you get when you launch the Redmi Note 7 in India but with a 12 MP dual camera instead of a 48 MP cam like everywhere else, and then decide to launch another model that has a 48 MP camera to pacify Indians?! Yes; the Redmi Note 7S.

I will never understand why smartphone manufacturers enjoy this sort of confusion. All of this would have been unnecessary if the Indian Redmi Note 7 had been the same as everyone else’s Note 7.

What has happened after the Redmi Note 7 launch in India is that Indians have been hunting for the global version, the one with the 48 MP camera. Quite a number of Indians are clearly displeased with the 12 MP + 2 MP camera on the model being sold to them.

Why did Xiaomi think Indians would be happy with a 12 MP dual camera when everyone else in the world got the 48 MP dual camera? And why only India?

And, yes; it has a 3.5mm audio jack. In other words, the Redmi Note 7S is essentially be the same as the Redmi Note 7 global version. The differences are in the colours, if those colours are significantly different in any way. 

I don’t understand it. Maybe someone else does. Help me, someone. Please help me.
