Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Review Doesn't Have To Be Hard Read These Tips

So here it is guys the new Xiaomi well it's not actually called a Xiaomianymore it's a readme its the redmi note 7 it's their new sub-brand of budget mobile

phones so they have pocophone they've got black shark and now Remi so three sub-brands for the mobile division at least that is that they've got so what's interesting about this

phone well we have a phone that hasa quite a good price point 150 us that is in China however that they're selling it for with three gigabytes of RAM and

32 that the start out model the base model so the one I've got here that I picked up as a black version and this one has four gigabytes of RAM and

64 gigabytes of storage its got the snapdragon 616 as the CPU and then the camera on the rear 48 megapixels front-facing selfie cam is 13 your full specs are right

up here if your interested in that it has a full thousand milliamp-hour battery so the better luck should be good and it does look very promising for that price points

let's check it out so here is our box redmi note 7 talking about now an extended warranty on this it used to be 12 months its now 18 months but

of course and that's in China and then you just get a little bit of a rundown right here of the specs on the back that we are already pretty much aware

of so it looks like we have a TPU case here now I got the black version so right here we have the sim tray tool that's to eject that out of

course a couple of instruction manual if that thing does look to be in Chinese and they are and here is that TPU case I will show you this on the phone

in only a minute you can see its one of that cheaper kind of cases but it's great to have this at least in the box so we know straight away yet

we've got some protection for the phone and it does, of course, cover the buttons on the side which is great so there is our phone and no ones used this yet

which is great I can see that there are no air bubbles underneath that and here we have our cable and the charger so this is a standard charger this

I always do with my phone reviews so 187 grams that's not bad and eight-point two millimeters thick however that's without that big camera bump which is quite tall you can see

because that then brings it up to ten millimeters or just under so here we have down the bottom the type-c port loudspeaker and one of this one will be the microphone

so not jeweled firing downwards speakers I think the front-facing earpiece does double as a loudspeaker but Ill confirm that in this video so its glass on the rear it has a

really good so the SIM tray will take either a micro SD card nano-SIM or two nano zooms it has a rubber gasket around here so it does not have an

that wevegot on front-facing cameras at least there are 20 megapixels here in terms of megapixels that is we've got an ambient light sensor right here and I can see just inside

the earpiece up here they've got other sensors so that would probably be the proximity sensor that's in there as well then on the right side we've got the volume and power

buttons made out a middle we've got a good feel to them they have also painted as well now this lip at the top there you can see that plastic so its

lens scratch therefor a starter case that we get in the box I think it's fine it does at least protect their buttons as I pointed out and it's better than

nothing and does give the phone a little bit of grip because right now here and winter my hands are cold this is a glass phone and it is super slippery so

out of the box, the phone does come with a rather large update that you need to install one point eight gigabytes and that'll bring it up then to me or me

version ten point two point five so my phone has four gigabytes around the other version the cheapest one has only three and out of the sixty-four gigabytes that I've got

got 49 free available to me I'm of course installing apps and things at the moment and it is running Android 9 security patch level from December and for those of you

one and because this is not the global ROM version this is the Chinese version its the only one that's out at the moment you're gonna get a lot of this bloatware

bezels yeah the top and bottom bezels they're not the smallest but I feel for the price that this phone is selling for I mean it's perfectly suitable it's fine and the

water drop or teardrop notch whatever you want to call it I think is a good substitute instead of having a big wide not unlike all other Xiaomi phones since I think

it was the menu I seven or eight or something wevegot this option here so under the contrast and colors under display you can adjust the white balance and you can just

put it on to standard which looks a little bit more correct than the best white balance there so if you want them more correct white balance that the one to have

it on but of course out of the box it's on the automatic contrast so our maximum brightness is good its575 lux which is very good I feel for the price

bleating about darkness were getting around the edges around the teardrop notch that is really ad overall feel again factoring on that price that this is nota bad IPS screen its

even better than the one that I've seen in the honor of-20 and if you're wondering where is the status LED well here it is right down here in the chin

in a very unusual location, I put it here obviously they didn't have room to put it up the top so I wanted to talk now about the general performance show you

just the minor slightest tiniest little bit of a full stream screen gesture lag coming in but overall it seems to be pretty good when you go through multitasking so well bring

up here the antutu score and a lot of you like to see that so here's the ante to score almost 140,000 not a bad score for this chipset so maximum turbos

I review its only huai whether it seems to bother to get level one so bear that in mind with a budget device is it a deal-breaker and not having

Netflix in full HD I don't know I don't watch Netflix on my mobile phone normally the storage internal storage should just bring up a couple of benchmarks to that here

those speeds are fine it's not going to be bottlenecking the system here at all with that and also to test out the wireless so he can see this is actually LTE

speeds here in Spain not bad at all 35 downloads the signal strength perception all seems to be fine there and here was my wireless speed test too so that's perfect no

problems with that GPS as well its working good if we get almost all of the satellites locked on to the first lock took about 30 seconds and then around town everything has

no problem tracking my accuracy will hover around the four meters that you can see here and if I open something like Twitter where I think I've already got that opening the

background so how is the performance of that loading that in just get it to refresh and then scrolling its quite good as you can see it does take a little while

in the beginning, because it has so many images and things to load up so its gonna be a little bit slower there it's just that the fullscreen just your legs

sometimes that I am using just between swapping over different applications and then going back home you will now and then said suits almost completely gone just not hundreds in

all right so what about the loudspeakers so I've tested out before I come in on the loudspeaker the 3.5millimeter headphone jack and it sounds good this is typical Jeremy to

me it sounds perfectly fine there's no real issue there whether it allowed us is okay now there is no second allowed speaker in the earpiece here unfortunately and I thought that might

have been the case because it was so wide but definitely not it's only firing out from the bottom but I will give you a sample of it but just to add

that the loudness I feel should be a little bit louder on the bottom loudspeaker it's not a deal-breaker or anything like that it's still loud but it just could be a

a little bit louder anyway here's that samples just demonstrated face unlocking I have the lift to wake enabled so you just lift the phone up and then look at it unlocks

now and you can see that's how quick it is now bombing very quick so no problems with the face unlocking all the fingerprint reader now for gaming performance I'm going to

test out pop G here with the high frame rates inning and then HD is our graphics lets see how it performs so you can see pump G is running fine there

another couple of players here I'm probably gonna actually just die already okay it doesn't seem to be bad at all to me in the high setting you're not really getting

much lag if any actually that seems to be pretty good okay tiny little bit then when scrolling around this title here is shadow gun legends and it is running on high settings

and visually it looks stunning this one you get a little tiny bit of slowdown here and there but overall the performance is good and I'm not really noticing any major frame

dips so it's not like I'm playable like it was on the alder cube X tablet that I looked at which had a very old MediaTek chip and it couldn't handle this

game with a snapdragon 616 handling this one just fine just before I show you some camera samples this is the camera app so typical Xiaomi camera app me why 10 afew

little tweaks and things in here AI mode your filters HDRs off by default video mode portrait mode using the dual cameras it'll stitch together an image I'll give you samples of

that shortly and with video here I just wanted to point out that if go into the settings that we do have this right here which is electronic image stabilization you can see

our video quality the maximum setting is 1080p 60 frames per second gonna shoot it in 30 because actually looks a little bit better so no4k 4k is missing for

some reason but anyway here are those samples here's a video sample there's a front-facing camera and we get 1080p max here there's a no electronic image stabilization so it's gonna be a little bit shaky the crop on it is actually quite good which is fine I find the audio quality as

well yeah it's alright it's not the best but I've definitely heard a lot worse than this overall front-facing video quality I think it's good it's not bad so this video is

being shot at 1080p 30 frames per second there is no 4k option you have to use a third-party app at the moment or even camera for that now there is a

I'm walking forward and it's taking my legs out of it and there is a bit of a problem at times I find with the focus it does tend to hunt a

a little bit now and then depending on the conditions its not as good to focus as the redmi note 2 5 whether its dual-pixel face detection autofocus you notice that yeah

it works but sometimes isn't gonna work there the focus comes into play now but with their redmi note5 there would not be a problem there whether its dual pixel autofocus

and we do have at least 4k with electronic image stabilization thanks to that application I mentioned open camera and you can see its working quite well as long as you've got a

steady here my hand is not the speediestthis is now a sample of the video in low-light now the sun went down about a half an hour ago so there's still

found that the low-light photography as you sing from my samples is not wonderful and it's kind of what you expect in this category and the price of the course of this phone

were not wonderful at low-light alright so to quickly recap here we have an excellent build quality so I've got middle frame around the outside that is painted glass on the

resistant to drops to the waterdrop notch does look okay I'm fine with it I thought it would bother me but its not really that bad at all in fact

very good build for the price definitely its excellent type C port finally no more micro USB ports finally the view start of his stock Xiaomi I was getting really sick of

micro USB ports but that's good so the voice quality I have made some voice calls on this very good face unlocking very fast as I demonstrated you justlook at it

and it unlocks it's really quick in fact I'll do it now and it unlocks its really good fingerprint reader as well do that I'll just touch it now but really quick

no complaints with that whatsoever so it does have a large 4000 milliamp-hour battery on here and my estimate is about 9 to 10 hours of screen on time with the

IPS panel that this has on here our charging time is going to be just over about 2 hours if you're using the10 watt charger it does support the faster 18

watt charges so that time will then drop down to just under about an hour and 50 minutes but I will have exact figures are with battery life in an up-and-coming video

maybe like after three or four days of using this phone at least to get that kind of figures there so the camera quality yes we've got 48 million pixel sensor on

smooth for the most part if you're got an areal keen eye you can see tiny little micro stutters here and there now and then just with the full screen just as

it seems to happen there are somethings been happening for a long time with Xiaomi and it is almost completely goneIm still seeing a tiny little bit of it there's no LTE

band 20 for those that need this but the Chinese version as well a lot of Chinese bloatware and it comes to probably the biggest negative for me and this is me

being very picky but when you do look at the screen especially at the top at certain angles you will see that darkness that comes in there its not a PS bleed

but it's just it seems to be from the manufacturing process to create that little notch at the top that we are getting like this dimming this darkening of the pixels were

not getting an evenly distributed backlight the whites they're especially noticeable as I pointed out when I showed you some of the screens at the top that just not a super high

for the price of around about a hundred in this one cost, about 200 us this four gigabytes of RAM and 64 bytes of storage for the price you are getting a

fantastic phone I can see that already and they've done it again they've set the price for the quality of what you're getting the price point here really really good phone so

fast I will have follow-up videos and if you haven't seen my reviews of the punch whole new kind of trend that's coming in 2019 those are right over here thank you
