    The Redmi Note 7 series refer to a series of smartphones released by Redmi, a sub-brand of Xiaomi. All (except the Redmi Note 7 variant in India) have 48 MP + 5 MP camera sensors.[1] Most have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC, except the Redmi Note 7 Pro, which has a better Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 SoC.[2] The phones support mobile network frequencies in different regions. The Note 7 is available in many local versions and a global version, compatible with mobile phone providers in most places; the Pro model is supplied in slightly different Chinese and Indian versions. The Redmi Note 7S doesn't have much difference when compared to Redmi Note 7 except in case of the rear camera, hence the production of the Redmi Note 7S was discontinued and came under the Redmi Note 7 in India but it's still available separately in China and other countries.

    In August 2019 Xiaomi announced that the Redmi Note 7 series had sold more than 20 million units worldwide.[3]

    Specifications

    The Redmi Note 7 (lavender) is available in versions M1901F7C (for Hong Kong), 1901F7E (for China), 1901F7G (global), and 1901F7H (for Asia).[4]

    Design

    The Redmi Note 7 (and Note 7 Pro) features a shiny glass back with a gradient that Xiaomi calls "Aura Design".[14] Both the front and back of the device have 2.5D curved Gorilla Glass 5 glass. The phone also has a P2i nano-coating that makes it splash resistant, nevertheless the phone hasn't received an official IP Code.[15] In other markets such as India, available color variants include Nebula Red, Space Black, and Neptune Blue.[16]

    The Redmi Note 7 (and Note 7 Pro) also features a dot notch in the display to accommodate the front-fancing camera.[17]

    The Redmi Note 7 and Pro run on Xiaomi's MIUI version 10, based on Android Pie (9),[18] with minor version updates from time to time. Xiaomi has confirmed that these phones will be upgraded to Android 10; unofficial information suggests that this will be done in the third quarter of 2020.[19] Updates to MIUI 11 (based on Android 9) for the Redmi Note 7 and the Redmi Note 7 Pro were available for download in late 2019, though not yet distributed over the air (OTA) for some ROM versions.[20] From 19 November 2020, MIUI 12 based on Android 10 was being rolled out to Redmi Note 7/7s, with distribution to other phones after beta testing.[21]

Various versions are fitted with 3, 4, or 6 GB of RAM, with 32, 64, or 128 GB of storage; a micro SD card of up to 256 GB is supported via a hybrid SIM card slot. The Pro version's camera has a Sony IMX586 sensor with f/1.8 aperture, slightly better than the RN7's similarly specified Samsung ISOCELL GM1 sensor; both have a secondary 5-megapixel depth sensor.[23] The front camera has a resolution of 13 megapixels. The rear camera can record 4K video at 30 fps.

    The RN7 Pro has a studio lighting mode live option, showing what the studio lighting effect will look like.[24]
