Dxomark redmi note 7 pro review năm 2024

There’s always a lot of hype for the next Redmi phone in India, and on February 28, the company will be launching the Redmi Note 7 in the country.

Xiaomi’s Redmi phones have enjoyed massive popularity over the years in markets like India for the simple reason that they have been able to deliver an all-round package of design, performance and camera at extremely affordable prices. There’s always a lot of hype for the next Redmi phone in India, and on February 28, the company will be launching the Redmi Note 7 in the country.

Ahead of its launch in India, I spotted the Redmi Note 7 on display at MWC 2019 in Barcelona. The Redmi Note 7 has already been launched in China and rumour has it that the phone may come to India as the Redmi Note 7 Pro. Xiaomi has already started teasing the phone’s 48MP rear camera, which is arguably the biggest highlight here. Apart from that, the Redmi Note 7 also touts a waterdrop display, a gradient design and a powerful mid-range chipset.

The Redmi Note 7 features a 6.3-inch IPS LCD display. There is a droplet-shaped notch on the top to house the selfie camera and earpiece. The bezels on the sides and the bottom are noticeable, but not distracting. The display looks promising with good colours and decent brightness levels. This seems to be a display for folks who like to watch a lot of videos and play games like PUBG.

The Redmi Note 7 is a premium looking phone from a distance, but it is an affordable smartphone, which means the rest of the body does not really use premium materials. The rear panel has a glossy, glass-like look to it but it is plastic. What makes it look really attractive is its gradient colour design. I checked out the Redmi Note 7 in blue and red gradient colours. Both the options will grab your attention thanks to the added shimmer and streaks of light the show up as light bounces off the surface.

But the Redmi Note 7 is really all about that 48MP dual camera system. More on more phones are coming out this year touting 48MP cameras using either the Sony IMX586 sensor or Samsung’s GM1 sensor. The Redmi Note 7 uses the latter, which means it uses pixel binning to merge four pixels into one to create a detailed 48MP shot. By default, the sensor shoots in 12MP, and I couldn’t really test out the camera prowess in my limited time with the device at MWC 2019. There is also a 13MP selfie camera housed in the waterdrop notch.

The Redmi Note 7 is powered by a Snapdragon 660 chipset, which is a good way to go for a mid-range smartphone. This is a pretty great chipset to get your work done in a smooth and consistent manner. It’s powerful enough to run games like PUBG and Asphalt 9 without lag on medium graphics. I say this from experience of past SD660 phones, but the Redmi Note 7 should not be any different. I was unable to test the performance in my brief time, but I did dings the UI to be quite snappy while scrolling and opening apps.

Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Note 7 in China in with up to 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage with support for storage expandability up to 256GB. It is still unclear what storage and memory configurations will be offered in India. The Redmi Note 7 comes with dual speakers grilles on the bottom and the handset houses a 4,000mAh battery, which should deliver over a full day of battery life.

The Redmi Note 7 seems to have what it takes to become yet another best seller in India. It not only brings an attractive waterdrop display and gradient design, but it also brings a 49MP camera at a price point that could be under Rs 15,000, which would be pretty impressive. We hope to get our hands on the device for a detailed review where we would check out the camera in detail along with the performance and software optimization, so do stay tuned to the India launch of the Redmi Note 7 on February 28.

The Redmi Note 7 Pro is the most refreshing Redmi Note upgrade till date. At Rs. 13,999, it has something for everyone. A good camera, best in class performance, impressive battery life and a new design. Xiaomi, once again, raises the bar for the entire segment.

Update: We've updated our Redmi Note 7 Pro review after installing the final build of MIUI 10 on the review unit.

The Redmi Note 7 and Note 7 Pro mark Redmi's rebirth after a four-year-long dominance in the affordable smartphone segment. After the Redmi Note 3, we saw some iterative upgrades in terms of design and display, but its unchallenged value for money proposition made Xiaomi the segment leader over the years.

On February 28, 2019, Redmi launched its first phones as Xiaomi's sub-brand in India — the Redmi Note 7 and Note 7 Pro. The Redmi Note 7 Pro, especially, is a completely revamped handset compared to what we have seen on previous Redmi Note phones. The biggest and most evident change is the design, and the biggest upgrade is the rear camera. The performance also gets a boost with Qualcomm's latest 600-series chipset.

With all that in the mix the Redmi Note 7 Pro is a combination of good design, latest hardware and handy features. It is the latest in a recent wave of mid-range smartphones that look like flagships, but is it going to be on top of them all? We find out.

The Redmi Note 7 Pro is a mid-ranger that looks like a flagship.

After long, there's finally something new to talk about Redmi Note's design in detail. As mentioned, it's a refresh over the standard aluminum build. The Redmi Note 7 Pro's design isn't something we haven't seen before. We have witnessed a similar design language, material and finish on Honor and Huawei phones earlier.

However, Xiaomi claims their implementation of this build and design is of superior quality and ensures longevity. It has Gorilla Glass 5 protection on both sides, with a body colored metal rim running around the edges. The company claims that the device is so solid, you can even break a walnut with it. We weren't brave enough to test that, but we did find it well built. As per the company, the phone is splashproof as they've added a rubber layer around all the openings that could lead to water damage. But, that doesn't mean you can submerge it under water or keep it constantly under the shower.

The Redmi Note 7 Pro is of the same size as the Redmi Note 5 Pro and 6 Pro, but the screen size is slightly bigger this time. That's because the notch is now shrunken. It may not be the best size for everyone's hand, but it certainly is the standard size that the majority prefers.

While glass is more fragile than plastic, it's still less prone to scratches if you're worried. If the weight of the phone is one of your concerns then be warned that the Note 7 Pro weighs 186 grams, which is the highest in its range. To put things into perspective, Samsung's Galaxy M30 with a 5000mAh battery weighs lesser at 175 grams. However, we don't find the Note 7 Pro to be unusually bulky, instead, it feels solid and even the weight distribution is done well.

It has 2.5D curved glass on both sides and the rim is also rounded. For someone who has big hands like me, the Note 7 Pro is a perfect fit as my thumb lands right between the lock button and volume button while holding the phone in a natural way. Also, there are no fine edges to dig into your hand. What I personally liked is that Xiaomi has finally ditched the iPhone-like vertical camera design. The cameras are still vertically stacked, but the resemblance to iPhone X is now gone.

The rear fingerprint scanner is in the middle of the phone and easy to hit, with the ridged edges easily identified when extending a digit.

Further, there are small but noticeable design elements like the new 'Redmi by Xiaomi' branding at the back, body colored frame, under the glass LED flash and gradient shades. It comes in two gradient colors-- Neptune blue and Nebula red, which is new for Xiaomi, but the trend is seen across all mainstream OEMs lately.

The Redmi Note 7 Pro has a 6.3-inch FHD+ LTPS in-cell display instead of an IPS panel. This is because LTPS in-cell display consumes less power, has faster refresh rates and generates less heat. While we're not sure exactly how big a difference that makes, we can say that there's no compromise on the visuals.

Redmi Note 7 Pro's new dot notch design makes for a 19.5:9 aspect ratio of the screen. It is also the first Redmi Note phone with a u-shaped notch on the front.

The display seemed to be justifying the price tag it comes at. Color reproduction was a little cool for our tastes, but the MIUI software has ample screen tuning abilities built in. We switched to the ‘warm’ preset, which improved things considerably.

Compared to its competitor Samsung Galaxy M30, it lacks the overall image quality you’d get with an OLED display. If you don't already know, AMOLED panels are punchier and crisp compared to LCDs. Still, off-angle and outdoor visibility are better than we’d expect from a phone of this price.

The fact that the screen isn't actually bezel-less and has thick visible borders on all sides might disappoint users looking for an edge to edge experience or higher screen to body ratio. The Redmi Note 7 Pro offers 81.4% of screen-to-body ratio while competitors like the M30, Realme 3 and Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 offer more than 88%.

In a nutshell, the display isn't a bad one for its price, but it's not one of the strong areas of the Redmi Note 7 Pro.

Is Redmi Note 7 Pro good for photography?

The phone's 48-megapixel main camera captures beautiful images with ample detail, high dynamic range, and good vibrancy. The night mode also performs well, while selfies captured by the 32-megapixel front camera also look sharp with natural colours and edge detection in bokeh mode.
