Verdict
Redmi Note 7 is a very decent mid-range phone with
a budget price. In the UK budget smartphone market
none of its similarly priced rivals (think Mi A2 Lite,
Honor 10 Lite, Moto G7 Power) even come close.
In design it’s not all that far removed from
Xiaomi’s flagship, with a similarly large and almost
as bright display, but it’s not of the same quality.
In performance most users would not be able to
separate Redmi Note 7 and Mi 9 SE, and it’s as
capable as many phones costing £350.
Compared to the flagship line it adds microSD
support and a headphone jack, but loses the wireless
charging, in-display fingerprint sensor and NFC for
mobile payments. The triple-lens camera is here
reduced to a dual-lens model, but still has a huge
48Mp lens headlining.
On paper the capacious 4,000mAh battery looks
amazing; in reality you should get a full day’s use
from it. Marie BlackSpecifications- 6.3in (2,340x1,080; 409ppi) IPS LCD capacitive
