Xiaomi’s Redmi brand gave us a surprise package last week when it unveiled the supposed budget Redmi 7 smartphone. If there was any category named “budget flagship”, that is where the Redmi 7 should belong. Not to create any controversy, let it be stated clearly that the Redmi 7 is not a flagship model but the sleek design, premium build and impressive hardware position the device as a model that can’t be overlooked by those shopping for a smartphone on a budget. With a starting price of 699 Yuan (~$104), it is hard to believe Xiaomi hasn’t compromised on quality on this one. Here are some unboxing/ hands-on pictures of the Redmi 7, affording us a closer look at the model.
The Redmi 7 is the cheapest model Xiaomi is releasing under the brand since Redmi became an independent brand. It doesn’t have any trace of compromise in quality, instead, you get a device with a topnotch finishing. Starting off with the packaging, the phone has a similar packaging with the Redmi Note 7. Inside the box, you get the smartphone, a 5V/2A charging adapter, data cable, SIM tray ejector, user manual and a complimentary pouch for the phone.
The phone size deviates from the compact size of its predecessors as it features a 6.26-inch display with a resolution of 1520x720pixels. The display uses the 19:9 aspect ratio and carries support for 84 percent NTSC colors. The screen is a TUV Rheinland display and so it effectively reduces the emission of harmful blue rays thus users won’t experience eye fatigue. Xiaomi took the quality of the budget phone to another level by adding a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 panel on top the display. In addition, it has a P2i splash-resistant coating. The device has a waterdrop notch design, a feature which it shares with the Redmi Note 7 and Note 7 Pro. The notch houses an 8MP sensor with features such as AI Beauty and AI Face Unlock.

The rear aspect design is yet another testament to the quality finish of the Redmi 7. The phone has a gradient finish upon what we believe is a plastic back. The finishing may make you think it is a glass back. At the top left corner is a dual camera setup with LED flash at the bottom. The camera comprises a 12MP + 2MP combo. There is equally a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner for unlocking the phone. The SIM card tray is located at the left side of the display and has three slots – two nano SIM slots and an SD card slot.
