Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Quick Review
Not every day do you see smartphones with Gorilla Glass protection especially when it comes to mid-range segment. You find them mostly in flagship smartphones. However, this smartphone sports the Gorilla Glass 5 not only at the front but at the back as well.

Security requirements on the device are handled primarily by the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and the Facial ID. You have the enablement to convert the phone to a remote control due to the Infrared Blaster. So, if you have a spoilt remote control and you have this smartphone, you don’t have to shell out some extra cash for a replacement. The other connectivity options are Wi-Fi, Hotspot, GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, and 4G LTE.

Impressive picture quality is guaranteed by the 48MP + 5MP rear cameras of the phone. Features such as Pro Mode, Portrait and HDR give you enough options to maximise the camera‘s goodness. Adding to this, selfies are well taken by the 13MP lens at the face of the phone. All the images captured can be either stored on 64GB ROM or 128GB ROM variant.

MIUI 10 backed by the Android 9.0 Pie OS controls the software actions here. Meanwhile, the major power actor on the smartphone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 SoC.
