Review Redmi Note 7

The Redmi Note 7 is a budget phone with much punch for its price tag. Its top-notch features include a dual camera fronted by a 48-megapixel sensor.

It also benefits from the Snapdragon 660, a chipset powering several other mid-range phones, and an Adreno 512 GPU to help it out. Performance is generally on par with more expensive options, though it can sometimes slow down when opening or closing apps.

Display

The Redmi Note 7 has a 6.3-inch, Full HD+ display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. It’s an IPS panel with sound color reproduction and a pleasing, crisp viewing experience.

The panel is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, making it more resistant to scratches than many plastic-shelled phones. This makes the phone feel very premium at its price point, even if it doesn’t boast IP-rated water and dust resistance.

The Redmi Note 7 is powered by a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor with an 850MHz Adreno 512 GPU. It’s a popular mid-range platform for devices like the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, Nokia 7 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy A9.

Camera

The Redmi Note 7 is one of the first Xiaomi phones to pack a 48MP camera. This means the camera sensor is more pixel-dense, and its images are more significant.

The camera of the Redmi Note 7 is a decent shooter that offers usable pictures, especially in daylight. However, the AI can make colors look unnatural, and low-light performance isn’t excellent.

The camera also has a dedicated Night mode that helps to improve low-light imaging. This works well to enhance sharpness and dynamic range. It can also remove flares around hard light sources.

Performance

The Redmi Note 7 is a smartphone with impressive performance and battery life. It also has an excellent camera for the price and is an outstanding choice in its segment.

A 2.2GHz octa-core processor powers the device with a 6.3-inch display that suits day-to-day tasks. It also has 4GB of RAM to multitask seamlessly and 64GB of storage capacity for storing your media files.

It also has an excellent dual-camera setup with 48MP f/1.8 primary and 5MP depth sensors. This is backed up by pixel-binning technology to make it better than your average 12MP sensor.

It’s also got a decent display, though we’d have liked to see it with a full-HD panel. It’s not as crisp as an AMOLED, but it’s still good enough for everyday use.

Battery

The Redmi Note 7 has a 4000mAh battery that can easily last a day of moderate usage. It’s at the upper end of battery capacities in current smartphones and bettered only by a few handsets.

Knowing how to use your device’s battery life best is essential despite the large battery capacity. For example, don’t let the screen’s brightness go too high.

It’s also important to turn off features that consume much power, such as WiFi scanning and mobile data. You can do this by going to Settings and selecting Battery optimization.

If you have a device constantly draining the battery, it might be a sign of a hardware issue. In this case, you should get the phone repaired by a local repair center.
