After weeks of speculations and leaks, Xiaomi finally launched the Redmi Note 7 on Thursday in China for 999 yuan, which roughly translates to around Rs 10,500. The Redmi Note 7 is the all-new entrant in budget price category but despite that, it features an outlandish ‘flagship’ 48-megapixel rear camera. Numerous speculations pointed towards the Redmi Note 7 as an upper mid-range entrant, but the Chinese giant exceeded all expectations and has launched the smartphone, Redmi Note 7 in the affordable budget segment.
The Redmi Note 7 price starts at 999 yuan for the 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage variant. The Redmi Note 7 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage has been priced at 1199 yuan, which is roughly Rs. 12,400. Xiaomi has also launched a third variant with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage and has priced it at 1399 yuan, which is roughly Rs. 14,500. The Redmi Note 7 is the first smartphone to be launched under Redmi as a sub-brand, and not from Xiaomi.
With the launch of the Redmi Note 7, there leaves a question – Is the Redmi Note 7 better than the Redmi Note 6 Pro? Here’s how:
1. The Redmi Note 7 comes with a dual-camera setup like the Redmi Note 6 Pro but gets a 48-megapixel shooter on the primary and a 5-megapixel shooter for the secondary. The 48-megapixel lens has an f/1.8 aperture size. A front shooter is a 13-megapixel unit. The camera gets AI Assist feature as well. As far as Redmi Note 6 Pro is concerned, it packs a 12-megapixel (f/1.9, 1.4-micron) primary camera and a 5-megapixel secondary camera on the rear. It packs a 20-megapixel (f/2.0, 1.8-micron) primary camera and a 2-megapixel secondary camera on the front. Also Read: Redmi Note 7, Xiaomi’s first 48-megapixel camera phone, launched 2.
