Today through an unveil event in China, Redmi announced the Redmi Note 7 Pro and Redmi 7 phones. When it comes to design, the Redmi 7 takes cues from the Redmi Note 7 Pro and Note 7 as it features a waterdrop-style notched display and a gradient back panel. It is the first Snapdragon 632 mobile platform phone from Redmi.

Redmi 7 Specifications and Features

The Redmi 7 has arrived with a screen that delivers HD+ resolution of 1520 x 720 pixels. It offers 19:9 aspect ratio and carries support for 84 percent NTSC colors. Since it is a TUV Rheinland display, the Redmi 7 users won’t experience eye fatigue since it effectively reduces the emission of harmful blue rays. The Corning Gorilla Glass 5 panel shields the large display of the phone.

The Snapdragon 632 SoC that powers the likes of Motorola Moto G7, G7 Play, Asus ZenFone Max M2, Meizu Note 8 and Honor 8C powers the Redmi 7 phone with up to 4 GB of RAM.

The Redmi 7 that comes loaded with MIUI 10 based Android 9 Pie can be purchased in storage variants of up to 64 GB. The handset supports larger fonts for easy readability. The large-sized 4,000mAh battery of the Redmi 7 can last for 400 hours on standby. Also, the Chinese manufacturer has included support for AI power saving features that improves the battery performance through system optimizations. With high-voltage power amplifier PA onboard, the Redmi 7 can produce 40 percent louder sound than the predecessor model.

The dual camera setup on its rear includes a 12-megapixel 1.25μm f/2.2 primary sensor and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The main sensor is the same one that was available on the Xiaomi Mi 6 smartphone from 2017.
