Redmi Note 7 Pro has officially debuted, along with the Redmi Note 7. The Pro
variant is everything we expected - Snapdragon 675, 48 MP camera and up to 128
GB storage. The vanilla version received a camera downgrade and comes
with a 12 MP main shooter.
The Redmi Note 7 Pro chipset is coupled with
octa-core CPU that goes as high as 2 GHz and comes with Adreno 612 GPU. The 48
MP sensor is Sony IMX586, which is an upgrade from the Samsung GM1 sensor,
found in the Redmi Note 7 and numerous other midrangers. There are two memory
options - 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage or 6 GB + 128 GB storage, with a microSD
slot on board.
Body-wise, the new phone is exactly the same as the
old one, including the 4,000 mAh battery and the 6.3” display. The phone
supports Quick Charge 4 but comes with a regular 10W charger in the retail box.
Other interesting specs include Gorilla Glass 5 on front and back.
The Indian version of the Redmi Note 7 still has a
Snapdragon 660 chipset, 6.3” screen, and 4,000 mAh battery, but the camera
setup is 12 MP + 2 MP. It also lacks the neat gradient colors - you can pick
from Onyx Black, Sapphire Blue, and Ruby Red. It will be launched on March 6
for INR 9,999 (the 3/32 GB option) or INR 11,999 (the 4/64 GB variant).
The Redmi Note 7 Pro will arrive a week later - on
March 13. Xiaomi India is offering the phone in Nebula Red, Neptune Blue and
Space Black for INR 13,999 or INR 16,999, depending if you want the 4/64 GB phone
or the roomier 6/128 GB version.
