Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
4.0/5
Verdict
Here`s where things get tricky. The pricing for the Redmi Note 7 starts at 999 Yuan (~Rs 10K) for the base variant in China and the device is expected to be launched in India next month. As is customary with Xiaomi, we can expect the phone to be priced competitively (preferably under Rs 15K ) in India, which would make it a phenomenal deal. However, if you`re in a rush to buy a new smartphone and can`t wait until the launch day, then you won`t be short on options.

Here`s where things get tricky. The pricing for the Redmi Note 7 starts at 999 Yuan (~Rs 10K) for the base variant in China and the device is expected to be launched in India next month.

However, if you`re in a rush to buy a new smartphone and can`t wait until the launch day, then you won`t be short on options. There are plenty of devices with enticing features in the market right now, the likes of which include the OPPO K1 (first impressions), the ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M2 (review), the Samsung Galaxy M20 (review) and the Realme 2 Pro (review).However, most of these smartphones come with their fair share of compromises – be it their cameras that can`t match up or less than fancy designs. Therefore, on the whole, the Redmi Note 7 is quite honestly the best smartphone out there in its class. It looks good, performs great, clicks excellent photos and lasts a long, long time. Redmi undoubtedly has a winner on its hands and if priced correctly, the smartphone will easily blow the competition out of the water.
Pros
- Stunning design
- Great performer
- Excellent cameras
- Long lasting battery and USB Type-C port
Cons
- Selfies have washed out colours
- Display exhibits muted colours
- 48MP shots aren`t dramatically better than 12MP

Design and Display

Here's the thing – the Redmi Note 7, to me, is one of the best-looking smartphones from Xiaomi's stables, especially when compared to the other affordable handsets from the company. I spoke at length about the handset's stunning design in my first impressions of the device but, at the expense of sounding like a broken record, the Redmi Note 7 looks like no other Xiaomi device in the market right now. In fact, the smartphone draws parallels to pricier offerings from Huawei and Honor with its gorgeous gradient-finish back, which shimmers ever so slightly when light bounces off it.

Xiaomi is known to offer extremely good camera phones in the affordable segment, and the same is true for the company's latest debutant too. The USP of the Redmi Note 7 is the presence of a 48MP, f/1.8 aperture sensor on the back, which has been paired with a 5MP, f/2.4 aperture depth sensor. For selfies, the smartphone comes equipped with a single 13MP front shooter. Now, unlike the Honor View 20, the Redmi Note 7 doesn't use Sony's IMX586 sensor and instead, employs Samsung's ISOCELL GM1 sensor. That said, both the sensors work on the same quad-Bayer principle, wherein four adjacent pixels combine to give light a bigger surface area to impact on, thereby capturing more information whilst outputting a 12MP image.

The Redmi Note 7 is a star performer, which should come as little surprise when you glance at the device's specs. My test unit of the device shipped with a Snapdragon 660 processor which worked alongside 3GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in, user expandable storage. However, the smartphone will also be available in higher RAM/storage SKUs. Regardless, I didn't find any bottlenecking issues with the smartphone's three gigs of memory. Apps opened swiftly and the device managed to keep around five applications in memory at all times, including some resource hungry apps like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
