Note 7 splash proof

The device is splash proof but is not water resistant. Would be too much to ask from a budget phone.

Walnuts and Xiaomi

Manu just busted three walnuts with the Note 7 and there was not even a scratch.

Some quality assurance by Xiaomi

Xiaomi talks about the durability of the Redmi Note 7. Perhaps they have not seen this video.

Redmi Note 7 Design, Display

Everything is the same as the Note 7 Pro in terms of design, display. Colours are Ruby Red, Onix Black, and Sapphire Blue.

Redmi Note 7 Camera

A 12 MP + 2 MP depth sensor and the primary lens is a 1.25 micron sensor. Steady handheld night photography mode on the device as well. A 13 MP camera on the front with all the features of the Note 7 Pro.

Redmi Note 7

The Redmi Note 7 launched. It has the Snapdragon 660 chipset based on the Kryo 260 CPU. The performance of the device compared to the competition is 10 percent more. Xiaomi says this is because all the competitors used an SD 660 lite. Whatever that means. Kirin 710 and Exynos 7904 also fall behind.

Selfie camera, Video

The phone has a 13 MP front camera and comes with the whole bunch of AI features such as studio lighting feature, scene detection, portrait mode and AI face unlock. 4K recording @30 fps with EIS now on the Note 7 Pro rear cameras.

Low Light photography

Four pixels are combined into one to give good shots in low lighting conditions. Image samples look good and Xiaomi has again resorted to taking jabs at competitors. The phone will have a steady hand held night photography mode as well.

Redmi Note 7 Pro sports a 48 MP Sony IMX586 1/2-inch stacked CMOS sensor and a 5 MP depth sensor

Redmi pulling out all the stops

Photo comparisons are being made with the iPhone XS Max and OnePlus 6T. This is getting a bit out of hand.

Perspective

Phones such as the Honor View 20 and Galaxy A8S which cost Rs 40,000 use the 48 MP Sony sensor. Bringing it in on a budget phone is quite exemplary. The sensor is 27.5 percent bigger than what we see on the iPhone XS Max which starts at Rs 1 lakh. That isn’t to say that the Note 7 Pro will click better pictures than the iPhone XS Max.

Redmi Note 7 Pro Camera

48 MP primary camera + 5 MP depth sensor. There has been a lot of hype around the primary sensor of the device. And low and behold the phone comes with the Sony IMX586 sensor. Quite unbelievable to be honest.

Redmi Note 7 Pro Software

It will run on MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0 Pie. The MIUI optimisations are centered around performance. The phone comes with a 4,000 mAh battery which can give upto 8 and a half hour of gaming life. The phone will come with Quick charge technology as well.

Redmi Note 7 Pro carries Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 SoC which is paired with Adreno 612 GPU for rendering graphics

Redmi Note 7 Pro Performance

After a slight joke about the SD 625 and a couple of benchmarking comparisons, Xiaomi has announced the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 on the device. It runs on the Kryo 460 architecture and is based on an 11 nm manufacturing process. The phone also has 6 GB RAM and there will also be a 128 GB storage variant.
