The Redmi Note 7 Pro will launch in China on March
18 and on that same day a very similar phone will be released – a Redmi Note 7
with 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage.
The Note 7 models are a bit of a mess, we’ll try to
clear things up. The Redmi Note 7 has a Snapdragon 660 chipset and as of now a
choice of 3GB, 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 32/64GB storage. The 6/128GB model will
match the memory capacity of the top Note 7 Pro model (which has a Snapdragon
675 chipset). In China both Pro and non-Pro have 48MP main cameras.
It’s not clear how much the 6GB/128GB version of the
Redmi Note 7 will cost. The 6GB/64GB one is currently CNY 1,400. We think a CNY
200 bump is most likely, bringing the total to CNY 1,600 (US$ 240/€ 210).
Considering that the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE starts at CNY
2,000, the Redmi Note 7 Pro should slot somewhere in between – about CNY 1,800
(US$ 270/€ 240). Exact pricing will be revealed later on. By the way, there's a Redmi 7 on
the way as well. It was certified by TENAA and may launch at the same March 18
event.
