When the Redmi 7 showed up on TENAA earlier this week, the listing revealed it will come with an octa-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz. There have been guesses as to which processor that is and now two hands-on videos have revealed the chipset under the hood.
The hands-on videos are from the Vietnamese YouTube channels Tony Phùng Studio and Dương Dê. The former is actually a comparison between the Redmi 7 and the Redmi Note 7 but both videos reveal the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 632 as shown by the AIDA64 app.

The 14nm Snapdragon 632 has eight Kryo 250 cores clocked at 1.8GHz and an Adreno 506 GPU. It has a Snapdragon X9 LTE model and a Hexagon 546 DSP. It is the same chipset inside the Honor 8C. The second video shows the Redmi 7 scored 101949 points on AnTuTu.
With respect to design, the Redmi 7 in both videos is the blue variant. It has a waterdrop notch but its bezels are thicker than that of the Redmi Note 7. It also has a triple card slot which allows you to use a MicroSD card and two SIM cards at the same time.
The dual cameras are arranged vertically with an LED flash below the setup while a fingerprint scanner sits in the middle. The Redmi 7 also has a MicroUSB port at the bottom and an audio jack at the top.
