Along with the Redmi Note 7 Pro, at its launch event in New Delhi, Xiaomi has also launched the Redmi Note 7 smartphone in the Indian market. The phone was first introduced in China last month after Redmi split from Xiaomi to run independently.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is priced at Rs. 9,999 (approximately $141) for the 3GB RAM model while the 4GB RAM model costs Rs. 11,999 (approximately $169). Both the models will be available for purchase in India from 6th March, exclusively through online marketplace Flipkart and Mi.com. It will be available in three color options – Onyx Black, Ruby Red, and Sapphire Blue.
Just like the Redmi Note 7 Pro, this one too follows Xiaomi‘s new “Aura Design” philosophy. The glass-bodied smartphone features a 2.5D curved glass on both the sides, protected by Gorilla Glass 5.
It features a 6.3-inch Full-HD+ “dot notch” display with 2340 x 1080 pixels screen resolution, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and 409ppi pixel density. Under the hood, it packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 octa-core processor, clocked at 2.2 GHz and coupled with Adreno 512 GPU.
The phone comes in two variants — 3GB RAM and 4GB RAM. The 3GB RAM model has 32GB internal storage while the 4GB RAM model comes with 64GB internal storage. There’s a microSD card slot for expanding the phone’s storage capacity up to 256GB.
Coming to the camera department, the smartphone features a dual camera setup on the back, however, the Indian variant has a different camera configuration than the one launched in China. It consists of a 12-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary sensor with support for PDAF, Super Night Mode, EIS, Portrait Mode, AI Scene Recognition, and HDR.
