Redmi Note 7 Features, Specifications
Xiaomi had been stuck with a metal body design for far too long. It started with the Redmi Note 3 and continued till last year’s Redmi Note 6 (review). We’re happy that the company finally ditched the boring design this year and shifted to a metal-and-glass sandwich design, something that’s found in more premium phones, this year with the Redmi Note 7.
At the front, there is a 6.3-inch IPS LCD screen with Full HD+ resolution (2340×1080 pixels), 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The screen has a U-shaped notch cutout to accommodate the 13MP selfie camera. The secondary 2MP camera and an LED flash which were used along with the 20MP selfie camera in the Redmi Note 6 have gone amiss, but the company claims that self-portraits should be even better with the new phone.
The phone runs MIUI 10 based on Android 9 Pie operating system. It uses a relatively more powerful Snapdragon 660 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage. There’s a hybrid microSD card slot on the phone, so it is possible to expand storage space. A higher-end variant of the phone features 6GB of RAM, but the storage space remains the same.
At the rear, there’s an all-new 48MP Samsung ISOCELL GM-1 sensor paired with a 5MP depth sensor. On the front, Xiaomi has integrated a 13MP rear camera. The camera app is also stacked with AI-assisted features such as Portrait mode, Smart Beauty, and Scene Recognition. A 4,000mAh battery with Quick Charge 4.0 support backs the Redmi Note 7 with USB Type-C connectivity. The phone also packs a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor while other biometric option includes face unlock functionality assisted by the front camera on a software basis. Other connectivity options on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 are Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, and Infrared.
