With much anticipation from the a nationwide worth of Xiaomi fans, the highly-sought Redmi Note 7 is finally here! The Redmi 7 is a surprise to all of us, as many of us are not expecting the Redmi 7 to be launched at the same time.
Let’s go through each of these phones one by one and find out what kind of specialty they have.
We will be updating this post with pictures later.
Redmi 7
Coming in at a surrisingly low price, the Redmi 7 that was launched just yesterday is now here in Malaysia already. This is an interesting smartphone as it is priced even lower than before. This is made possible by its clever choice of hardware.
- 6.26-inch IPS LCD display with waterdrop notch
- 1520×720 pixels in resolution
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 632
- Up to 4GB RAM
- Up to 64GB internal storage; expandable with microSD
- Dual rear-facing cameras
- Main camera: 12MP f/2.2
- Depth sensor: 2MP
- 8MP selfie camera
- 4,000mAh battery
- Android 9.0 Pie with MIUI 9.0
Looking at the specs alone, the Redmi 7 is surprisingly similar to the ASUS ZenFone Max (M2) that we reviewed here. That particular phone actually a good-enough smartphone for really basic day-to-day use like WhatsApp, some Facebook and Messenger alongside with Telegram chats. The Snapdragon 632 chipset is absolutely incapable of running games like PUBG Mobile, even at its lowest graphical settings possible. This is only at 720p resolution, by the way.
With that said, with such a low price tag, I can’t complain much. The Redmi 7 is definitely going to give the ASUS ZenFone Max (M2) a run for its money. Yet the Redmi 7 feels very comfortable in the hand.
The Redmi 7 is available in Comet Blue, Lunar Red, and Eclipse Black color options. It is available in these variants:
- 2GB RAM + 16GB storage: RM499
- 3GB RAM + 32GB storage: RM599
The Redmi 7 will be available on 27th March at Lazada, DirectD, Maxis, Shopee, and Urban Republic.
Redmi Note 7
Here comes the big boy – the highly anticipated mid-range smartphone from Xiaomi themselves. We Malaysians are getting the higher variant that has the 48MP cameras. Surprisingly, according to the specs, this sensor is a 0.5-inch Samsung GM1 sensor. It has the ISOCELL Plus technology with 4-in-1 Super Pixel technology, which takes stunning low-light photography.
Here are the specs for the Redmi Note 7:
- 6.3-inch IPS LCD display with waterdrop notch
- 2340×1080 pixels in resolution
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 AIE
- Up to 4GB RAM
- Up to 128GB internal storage; expandable with microSD card
- Dual rear-facing cameras
- 48MP f/1.8 with PDAF
- 5MP f/2.2
- 13MP f/2.0 selfie camera
- 4,000maAh
- Supports Qualcomm QuickCharge 4.0 (not included in the box)
- USB-C
With that said, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is actually looking to be a very capable chipset that we already know and love, and here it is equipped with a 48MP sensor too. With the correct software and creativity, the 48MP can do wonders.
For a mid-range smartphone, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is one of the first mid-range smartphone to support QuickCharge 4.0. With the price of the Redmi Note 7, it only comes with a 5V 2A charger – which is understandable as it still needs to keep the price down low.
Speaking of the price, the Redmi Note 7 comes in these 3 variants in these 3 prices:
- 3GB RAM + 32GB storage: RM679
- 4GB RAM + 64GB storage: RM799
- 4GB RAM + 128GB storage: RM949
They are available in 3 different colors as well – Neptune Blue, Nebula Red, and Space Black. Comes with 18-months warranty as well. It will be available at Lazada, DirectD, Maxis, Shopee, and Urban Republic on 27th March 2019!
