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.

It also comes with support for 1080p video recording at 30/60 FPS, 720p video recording at 30 FPS, and 1080/720p slow-motion video recording at 120 FPS. On the front side, the device features a 13-megapixel sensor with AI Portrait Mode, AI Smart Beauty, HDR, and AI Scene Recognition.

Xiaomi continues to promote its latest Redmi Note 7 with several videos popping up online which heralds the powerful screen the device packs. The latest set of videos we came across contained tests carried out by the new Redmi CEO Lu Weibing.

In the first video, the CEO placed the phone inside a trash can which was then covered with duct tape. Thereafter, the bin was sent crashing down the stairs. The phone fell down 18 stairs in 4 seconds, a total height of 2.7m (9ft). The test isn’t really convincing because we believe most phones will survive such crash under the protection of the trash bin.

The second video looks more daring and extreme as the device is used as a skateboard. Lu Weibing strapped a pair of rollers each on two Redmi Note 7 units. The rollers were attached with their base resting on the screen and then, duct tape was used to hold it in place firmly. The CEO had someone use the duct tape to attach the phone to the sole of his legs. He then made attempts to move about with the skateboard. The bottom line is, the Redmi Note 7 screen succeeded in maintaining its integrity even after carrying such weight.
