The Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 will be launched in India on Thursday. The company is hosting an event in New Delhi to unveil the mid-ranger that is already available in China. Like with every Redmi Note device, Xiaomi plans to cut ahead of the competition this time as well. The Redmi Note 7 offers a 48-megapixel camera on the back, which Xiaomi hopes will set the phone apart from the rest. The company is also expected to announce the Redmi Note 7 Pro and the Redmi Go at the event. Over the course of the past few months, multiple leaks and rumours have given us an idea how the Redmi Note 7 Pro will turn out to be. Before the phone launches in India, here’s everything you need to know —
How to watch the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 launch live?
The Redmi Note 7 launch is expected to start at 11:30AM. The event will be streamed live on Xiaomi’s social pages on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. Digit will also go live from the event, so you can tune into our Instagram page to get all the action.
What does the Redmi Note 7 offer?
The Redmi Note 7 went official in China a month ago. The phone offers a 48MP Samsung GM-1 sensor on the back coupled with a 5MP depth sensor for portrait photos. On the front, there’s a 13MP selfie camera, housed in a waterdrop notch. There’s a 6.3-inch LCD display with Gorilla Glass 5 on top. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC and is offered in three RAM/storage variants. Xiaomi is expected to launch the phone in 3/32GB, 4/64GB and 6/64GB variants. Xiaomi also claimed the phone to have exceptional durability thanks to the protective glass on both sides. The phone also packs a 4,000mAh battery and now finally supports fast charging.
The Redmi Note 7 is expected to come in a range of gradient colour finishes including red, blue and black and twilight gold.
Will Xiaomi launch the Redmi Note 7 Pro?
At the China launch of the Redmi Note 7, Xiaomi did tease the launch of the pro variant. After that, Lu Weibing, Redmi General Manager, shared the Redmi Note 7 Pro will be announced after the Xiaomi Mi 9. The Mi 9 launched on February 20 and the timeline adds up.
Furthermore, we have seen multiple leaks of the phone detailing the specs and features. Based on the latest leak by smartphone leakster @ishanagarwal24, the Redmi Note 7 Pro is expected to bring the flagship Sony IMX586 sensor with 48MP resolution and a 1/2-inch sensor size. If the recently launched Honor View 20 is anything to go by, the camera offers a good amount of detail and has features like pixel-binning to improve low-light photography.
The form factor is expected to remain the same as the Redmi Note 7 — A 6.3-inch display with a waterdrop notch. However, under the hood, the phone is expected to pack the Snapdragon 675 SoC, which we saw debut in the Vivo V15 Pro. Based on our performance comparison, the chipset is much more powerful than the Snapdragon 660, sometimes even beating the Snapdragon 710.
What about the Xiaomi Redmi Go?
The Xiaomi Redmi Go is an Android-Go device made for the entry-level segment. It’s Xiaomi’s first smartphone with Android Go and is expected to run a toned-down version of MIUI. The phone went official with a 5-inch HD display and a Snapdragon 425 SoC under the hood. The phone is based on Android Oreo (Go Edition) and offers 1GB RAM and 8GB of expandable storage. On the back is an 8MP camera while the front houses a 5MP selfie shooter. The phone packs a 2,200mAh battery.
Redmi Note 7, Redmi Note 7 Pro, Redmi Go Price
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 was launched for an astoundingly low price of RMB 999 in China which roughly converts to Rs 10,000 in India. While the phone certainly won’t be priced that cheap, considering import duties that Xiaomi has to pay for the components, we expect the phone to be priced under Rs 15,000.
The Redmi Note 7 Pro with the 48MP Sony sensor is expected to fetch a higher price. We expect the price to be around Rs 16,000.
The entry-level Redmi Go is expected to be priced below the going market price of other Android Go phones like the Samsung Galaxy J2 Core and the Nokia 1. WinFuture reports the phone will be priced under 80 Euros in Europe, which rough converts to Rs 6,400 in India.
