Says who?

Oh, I know, good ol' sheet spec.

Let me burst the myth of this battery sef.

Now, one of the most revered Xiaomi phones even on this thread and the whole cyberspace is redmi note 7.

Everybody that owns it have got nice things to say about it. Even madgoat that was initially critical and skeptical about it came to love it so much.

One of the major highlights of the phone is the battery. It's not uncommon to see users post SOT of more than 24 hours here and people have described the battery as a beast.

The RN7 is xiaomi's best selling device of the year so far and comes with a 4000 mAh battery.

Now, as beastly as the battery of the RN7 is, do you know that in a standard battery test, the mi 9 SE easily beats it? And not just by margins! By almost 2 hours. You can watch the test by Frankie tech on YouTube.

I understand that the best efforts of the mi 9 SE might still not be enough for some users. If you are truly limited by budget, then Ivan suggest the mi 9 lite as an alternative as it comes with more than 4000mah of battery.

Ordered Redmi 7 for my Infinix friend... Arrived yesterday after 15 days. He's absolutely loving it.
Personally noted a few things tho during unboxing (which I made sure my fairly noob friend didn't notice, to avoid dampening his joy). I use Redmi Note 5pro, and I can confidently say RN5pro is a better phone, both in display and support, having felt both phones. I'm not a fan of notch which happens to be the only design feature missing in RN5 but present in R7. Both phones have same camera pixels, but RN5 produces sharper images... And some other slight differences like absence of front flash & notification light in R7. RN7 has software advantage tho - comes with pie OS out of the box. RN5 - Oreo.
I hope this info will be helpful in the future for prospective Xiaomites who may find theirselves torn between RN5pro and R7.

Mekanus:
Very sharp and crisp picture u got there. Did you take that with the note 5 pro?

Redmi 7 has notification light.

mancheeutd:


Not more than 100k?

Jacobx007:
Total sales of the redmi note 8 pro so far, not very impressive I must say

maclawrence02:

Abeg how you come do the phone?
You returned it or you get to keep the phone after winning dispute?

Afeazbello:
Pls who can help me with this case for RN7

Kelvo002:


Both are not mate na, you should compare with note 5 not 5 pro

Source Code for Redmi Note 2 in 2019
Are you for real?!

I speak out of experience too sha coz I used the mtk version of the Note 3 that year

Gptech:

I hope we haven't forgotten that the Redmi note series are higher than the Redmi series? The note series even older ones pack superior hardwares especially with display. There's no Redmi series with full HD display save for the abandoned Redmi 4 prime ( looking at fibonacci2526 ). As for camera, even the Redmi note 4x can hold its own against the Redmi 7 both on gcam). As someone already stated, theirs a tiny notification light underneath the phone, you won't see it if you already installed any tampered glass with black borders. For support, the note series naturally get better treatment, no surprises here.

After installing Gcam for Redmi 7, is there any other settings needed? I'm unimpressed with shots taken with the gcam cos my Redmi 5 plus Gcam shots looks more impressive, the Redmi 7 is for a friend

True story (you can search for it online), I can only imagine how users waited endlessly for proper support from Xiaomi, which never came. Although there are custom ROMs available for the Redmi note 2, those ROMs are ridden with bugs. Also, the phone has its own "special issues".

tidedroid:
i was just pointing out that updates for mtk phones isn't the impossible feat u're making it out to be

queenfav:
Hello all, been a while.. Pls i enabled authorization for updates today and saw Miui 10 9.6.27 global beta rom update for Android pie(which i am downloading now) .. I wasnt aware that xiaomi had stopped beta roms for all its phones.
.
.
This update is said to be the last beta rom. My question is, after this update is done what would happen? Will i get a new update for global stable rom after this? I am not ready to risk bricking my device in a bid to switch from beta to stable rom. Pls anyone who has been on global beta rom should help me out here..I have been out of touch with xiaomi related news for a while, this new development is still surprising to me.
