The Xiaomi Redmi 7 has been launched in India alongside the Redmi Y3 which starts at Rs 9,999. To recall, the Redmi 7 was launched in China a couple of weeks ago and it comes powered by the same Snapdragon 632 SoC we saw on the Redmi Y3. The Xiaomi Redmi 7 is being touted as ‘The Ultimate All-Rounder’ by the company and why not because it’s probably the powerful phone in its price range. The Redmi 7 replaces the Redmi 6 which disappointed a lot of users as it was not aimed at the power users because it arrived with an Helio P22 chipset. The Redmi 7 features a 4000mAh battery, comes with MIUI 10 based on Android 9 Pie and also the trendy gradient design. The Redmi 7 prices in India start at Rs 7,999 and it comes in two variants.

Xiaomi Redmi 7: Specifications and Features
As noted, the Redmi 7 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 chipset which we saw on the likes of the Honor 8C and Asus Zenfone Max M2. The Snapdragon 632 SoC is a direct successor to the Snapdragon 625 SoC which Xiaomi used on several of its smartphones. As for the cameras, the Redmi 7 features 12MP+2MP camera set up on the rear sides with several camera modes like AI Portrait mode and AI Scene Detection (first on a Redmi series phone. On the front, the Redmi 7 has an 8MP selfie camera with the same AI Portrait mode and Auto HDR feature.
On the rear side, there’s a fingerprint scanner and the phone also has Face Unlock feature. As seen with recent Xiaomi smartphones, the Redmi 7 also has an all-new design which Xiaomi is calling it as Aura Design. Having said that, Xiaomi has used a plastic body on the Redmi 7 to save costs. The Redmi 7 comes in three different colour options- Lunar Red and Comet Blue. And there’s the standard Eclipse Black colour variant as well.
