Xiaomi Redmi 7A Hands-On: The New Entry-Level King?

Xiaomi Redmi 7A was launched in India last week at a starting price of Rs 5,999. The new entry-level smartphone from Xiaomi succeeds last year’s Redmi 6A which did not impress many owing to its sub-par hardware. However, Xiaomi is changing that with the Redmi 7A as the phone sports hardware which we haven’t seen on any smartphone in the similar price range. The Xiaomi Redmi 7A features a 12MP Sony IMX486 sensor, splashproof design and comes with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 chipset. Before the launch of Redmi 7A, everyone expected the Redmi 7A to come with Snapdragon 429 chipset, but Xiaomi has gone with the powerful Snapdragon 439 SoC. For the unaware, the Snapdragon 439 is the same chipset which we saw on the Nokia 4.2 that was launched over Rs 10,000 in India. Hardware specs aside, how does the Redmi 7A perform in real life? Well, here are our impressions on the smartphone after using it for nearly three days.

Xiaomi Redmi 7A Hands-On: Design and Display

The Redmi 7A prices in India starts at Rs 5,999, so the design of the handset is very practical. The smartphone is entirely built out of plastic like its predecessors Redmi 6A and Redmi 5A, and it comes in three colour options- Matte Blue, Matte Gold and Matte Black. The variant which Xiaomi India sent us is the Matte Blue one and it looks decent; Thanks to the Blue paint job, you won’t be able to notice fingerprint smudges on the rear side, however, I believe the Black variant will show them. Also, Xiaomi is not bundling any TPU case inside the retail box, so you’ll have to be careful while handling the smartphone.
