ISSUE 64 • ANDROID ADVISOR 63ROUND-UPYou’ll have seen this chip before, in the likes of the
Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, Xiaomi Mi A2, Nokia 7 Plus, Samsung
Galaxy A9, Elephone U Pro and so forth. And while
the Redmi Note 7 is not significantly faster than any
of those other phones that use it, something you
should note is that it is significantly cheaper.
The Redmi Note 7 offers capable – if not flagship- daily performance, and provided you don’t turn
up the detail too much some very playable frame
rates. In GFXBench’s T-Rex and Manhattan tests we
recorded 46- and 21fps, for example.
The 4,000mAh battery inside is good for a day’s
use, but no more. In Geekbench 4’s battery test we
recorded seven hours, 16 minutes, which is actually a
pretty middling score and a little lower than we had
anticipated given the huge capacity of the battery.
