Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro

Xiaomi has created a stir in the Indian smartphone market by launching Redmi Note 7 and Redmi Note 7 Pro. The Redmi Note 7 Pro comes with more robust specification. It is equipped with the Redmi handset octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor, 48 megapixel camera, large battery and fast charging support. And all these features are part of a premium body. Considering the price, it can be said that the paper can not challenge the phone of Redmi Note 7 Pro any more. Will these smartphones prove their price segment's best handsets on the basis of these hardware? We will try to find answers to this question through the review of Redmi Note 7 Pro.

Redmi Note 7 Pro Design

Budget Smartphones of the Redmi Series are generally known for standard design languages. But the Redmi Note 7 Pro is very different. Xiaomi has used premium glass sandwich designs for this phone. It is very beautiful to look at, strong in addition. At first glance, this phone of Redmi all-brand is more expensive than its price which is a good thing.

Redmi Note 7 Pro has the protection of Gorilla Glass 5 on either side. The plastic rim is used on the edges. The glass is curved along the rear panel. For this reason, the phone gives a good feeling in the hands. We reviewed the phone's space black variant. In its praise, we will say so much, it is spectacular in appearance. We came with Reflective Finnish favorites. There is also a small Redmi logo on the back.

Now talk about shortcomings. Fingerprints fall easily on the phone. Stains are clearly visible in the black color variants. Rear cameras are rising. In recent days, there is no such a wide camera bulge. Users of the Redmi Note 7 Pro will have to compromise with these two shortcomings. Good thing is that these deficiencies can be removed from the protective cover. Redmi Note 7 Pro will also be available in Neptune Blue and Nebula Red Color. Both of these phones are of Metallic Gradient Design.

Protection of Gorilla Glass 5 produces a great deal of trust. Xiaomi has reported that the side of Redmi Note 7 Pro is such that the screen gets protection from breakdown.

The company says that the existing parts inside Redmi Note 7 Pro come with some degree of protection of liquid damages. Such water tight seals and sim trays, volume rockers and power buttons have been possible due to rubber insulation. The company has used P2i hydrophobic nanotechno-coating.

It is worth noting that the Redmi Note 7 Pro has protection from water chunks. This is not a water or dust resistant.

The fingerprint sensor is on the back part. According to us, the volume buttons on the right side are slightly away. There is a problem reaching it with one hand. Power and volume button feedback is great.

On the left is a hybrid dual sim tray. That is, users should choose one of the other SIM cards and MicroSD card. The phone has support for up to 256 GB MicroSD card. 3.5mm headphone jack is on top. It also has an IR blaster. Speaker and USB Type-C port have got place on the lower part.

The forward-facing 6.3-inch Full-HD + (1080x2340 pixels) LTPS in-cell display is equipped with 19.5: 9 aspect ratios and 409 ppi pixel density. In the words of Shaomi, the top is 'dot knock'.

The color reproduction of the display is fine. Viewing angles will also be a date. The contents appear on the screen sharp. However, we found that reflection on the screen is easily done. To get read on the screen in direct sunlight, we had to keep the brightness level at 90 percent. You can control the display color contrast and contrast of the display.

There is also a reading mode that warms down the color of the screen, so that it can be easily read.

Due to the 159.21 x 75.21 x 8.1 mm dimension Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro can not be called a small smartphone. Despite this we liked the design and build quality. It is not easy to reach every part of the screen with one hand.

Overall, it will be said that Redmi Note 7 Pro is one of the most beautiful handsets in its price segment. And it's also strong. In the retail box, you will also find smartphones, protective cover, USB Type C cable, 10 W charger, SIM eject tool and some papers.

Redmi Note 7 Pro Specifications and Software

Xiaomi is always known for giving powerful hardware in affordable handsets. Redmi Note 7 Pro is also no different. This type of hardware will be available to you in a more expensive device. The smartphone uses the Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor. 

Based on the RAM and storage, this phone has two variants -64 GB storage with 4 GB

RAM and 128 GB storage with 6 GB of RAM. The cost of expensive variants is

 Rs. 16,999.

Inbuilt storage can be increased by up to 256 GB of microSD card. But hybrid SIM design means you have to sacrifice the second SIM to increase the storage. The phone comes with Widevine L1 certification. This means that users will be able to watch HD content on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. Redmi Note 7 Pro is equipped with USB Type-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, IR emitter, 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.

Redmi Note 7 Pro will run on the MUI 10 based on Android 9 Pie. There is security patches in February. According to us, MIUI is a matter of their own choice. The experience for people upgrading from Xiaomi smartphone will be the same as before. But users using Stock Android or any other skin can be confused with the MUI.

Personalization options appear on the screen for long periods of time. Here, the wallpapers, apps, widgets, screen layouts and transition effects can be personalized. Redmi Note 7 Pro's user interface is extremely smoother. You can enable gesture navigation if you wish. But it was not so smoother.

MIUI comes with many unwanted apps. Redmi Note 7 Pro also suffers from this lack. Mi Browser, Mi Video, Mi Community and Mi Pay apps are already installed in the phone. Many third-party apps are also available.

Third party applications can be uninstalled. But it is possible to do a Force Stop in-house application. But it is also important to know about the biggest shortage of the MUI. You will be troubled by many unsolicited commercials.

By the way, MIUI also has many work features. You can decide the gestures for many functions. With the help of adapter battery, users can choose the apps they do not want to run in the background. This will reduce battery consumption. You will also have the option to put some restrictions on the background app without closing them.

Redmi Note 7 Pro Performance, Camera and Battery Life

The Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor has been used in Radmi Note 7 Pro . This processor is used in expensive Vivo V15 Pro. We have no complaints about the performance. Whether it is web browsing, or multi-tasking. Phone Smooth runs. Even though 10-12 apps are open in the background, but switching between them is smoother.

Redmi Note 7 Pro also proved itself as a capable performer in gaming. Game Smooth with low power graphics can be played. Game with powerful graphics such as PUBG Mobile and Asphalt 9: Legends were also smoother. Both games run on high graphics and default performance settings. But we got complaints about frame drop. This reduction was overcome when the graphics settings were made medium. After that our gaming experience was great.

Regardless of whether Redmi Note 7 Pro plays with ease in common usage. But there is a complaint about it being hot. The phone became very hot after nearly hours of PUBG Mobile or Modern Combat 5. Especially in the fingerprint sensor part. The temperature of the phone was very high. Because of this, we had to keep idle for some time to keep the phone cool. We hope Xiaomi will overcome this shortcoming in the future through OTA updates.

In the case of phone calls Redmi Note 7 Pro works fine. The call quality is clear and clear. Rear fingerprint sensor is extremely fast and accurate. The Face Unlock feature also worked fast. But in a low light situation it works a bit slower.

At the launch of Redmi Note 7 Pro, Xiaomi had a lot to say about its camera capability. The company compared it to the iPhone XS Max. Talk about the hardware Redmi Note 7 Pro has a 48 megapixel primary camera with F / 1.79 ultra, with the Sony IMX586 sensor.

It has a depth sensor of 5 megapixels. The camera is equipped with AI Portrait Mode, AI Studio Lightning, AI Dynamic, Slow-Mo Video Recording and 4K Video Capture. There is a 13-megapixel sensor for selfie on the front panel. It is equipped with AI Portrait Mode, AI Studio Lightning and AI Buttification.

Redmi Note 7 Pro works to move smartphone photography to its second level in its price range. It captures photos with a lot of detail, high dynamic range and excellent vibration. In the close-up shot the device turns out to become champion. Colors are pancakes. Gradientes in our sample shot were well reproduced.

At times, in contrast to stretching the contrast, the colors came to be superfluous and sometimes background underexposed. There are some drawbacks. But Redmi Note 7 Pro captures more and more quality pictures compared to other smartphones in this price range.

Photos in default are captured on 12 megapixel resolution. Redmi Note 7 Pro uses the technique called pixel binning, which collects data from four adjacent pixels and creates a large pixel. If you wish, you can manually capture 48 megapixel shots by capturing 48 megapixel shots.

48 megapixel shots deliver more detail than the default 12 megapixel resolution shot. But they give a slight dim and softening feeling. On the other hand, the 12-megapixel shot sharpe comes with more vibrant and more depth. In addition, Noyez is more in shot shot by 48 megapixel camera in low light.

Redmi Note 7 Pro captures the best portrait shots. Edge Detection is Perfect. Especially in Bokeh shots taken in the light of daylight

In the case of photography at night, Redmi Note 7 Pro overtakes its competitors. Night mode works to brighten the photos taken in the night. During this time the exact details are also captured. However, we found that in the night to increase the exposure, colors are not accurate in night mode and Grenney textures become part of the photo. It is worth noting that you will not be able to capture photos in 48mg pixel resolution in night mode.

With Redmi Note 7 Pro, you will be able to record full-HD and HD video. Electronic image stabilization proves to be effective. However, there is no EIS in 4K recording. With the front camera you will be able to do full-HD video recording. But due to the lack of stabilization, video shakey records are recorded.

Redmi Note 7 Pro will go for a powerful battery life. After using it all day, it still had 15-20 percent of battery remaining. In our HD video loop test, the battery of 4000 mAh was lost in 19 hours and 23 minutes.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro

Redmi Note 7 Pro supports Qualcomm's Quick Charge 4.0 technology. Regrettably, the company has given a 10-watt charger in the retail box. The 10 W charger took 54 minutes to charge Redmi Note 7 Pro at zero to 50 percent and 2 hours and 14 minutes to charge 100 percent.

Our decision

The Redmi Note 7 Pro offers a very strong challenge in many cases. It is a powerful handset designed on the eyes, with its eyes-wide design, smoothen performance, superb cameras and strong battery life, on these aspects. Due to the aggressive price, Xiaomi is sure to emerge as the champion of this phone.

This does not mean that there is no shortage in Redmi Note 7 Pro. During gaming, the phone gets hot again. MUI bothers with ads and fingerprints are easily found on the body.

In the price segment of less than Rs. 20,000, Redmi Note 7 Pro will get many handsets challenge. For example, Oppo K1 (review) comes with in-display fingerprint cesar and amoled display. Spending a little more money, you will find Triple Rear Camera Setup, Super Amoled Display and Indesyplay Fingerprint Sensor in Samsung Galaxy A50.

In the Samsung Galaxy M30 you will find the third ultra-wide camera on the rear. Nokia 6.1 Plus is known for its stock Android, smooth performance and great design. This price segment can also be considered for ZenFone Max Pro M2 (review) and Realme U1 (review).

All of these handsets offer strong contenders, but Redmi Note 7 Pro goes ahead due to its look, camera, processor, battery life and price. In the end we would say, Redmi Note 7 Pro is a smart smartphone. It is possible that this is another Xiaomi's other champion phone.
