Redmi 7 is a budget smartphone that has a fairly high performance and costs about 10 thousand rubles. But is it worth the attention of consumers and is there a need for it?
Design
The appearance of the smartphone is quite bright: the back panel shimmers in the sun and has a mirror effect, thanks to which the device does not look like a black bar. However, in terms of practicality, this phone is much inferior to the fact that traces and fingerprints remain on the coating, so it is best to use a device with a case if you do not want to constantly wipe it.
On a smartphone, which is quite rare among other devices, the manufacturer retained a headphone port (3.5 mm) and an infrared port. The fingerprint on the back is a bit high. They are inconvenient to use while holding the device in one hand. The speaker is located at the bottom, and despite the fact that it is one, the sound is of sufficient quality, even in loud mode it does not "wheeze".
Dimensions - 158.7 x 75.6 x 8.5 mm, weight -180 grams. The weight is felt in the hand, but this is easily explained by the large battery capacity - 4000 mAh. This is a lot, especially for a budget smartphone. The build quality is good, there are no creeps or backlashes.
Camera
The main camera consists of two modules that work in conjunction. The first main lens has 12 MP, the second 2 MP. In good light, if you adjust the focus, you can get quite good quality photos. But if you shoot at night, you can find unnecessary shadows, lack of detail. There is a zoom, but when you use it, the picture becomes "soapy".
The front camera has 8 MP, it has a built-in beautifier. The device can shoot videos in maximum Full HD quality at 60 frames per second. Autofocus is absent, because of this, the images may appear "soapy" in places, but for a budget smartphone this is an extremely good result.
The Camera app hasn't changed in any way. Switching between modes is still done using horizontal swipes. Additional items can be changed in the camera settings.
Specifications
The smartphone runs on Android 9.0 and MIUI 10 operating system on an eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 processor in conjunction with a graphics processor. Adreno 506. The operating memory depends on the configuration - from 2 to 4 GB. Internal memory ranges from 16GB to 64GB. There is a slot for a second SIM card. Battery - 4 mAh. The battery will last for 32 hours of talk time, while watching a video it will last for 20 hours.
In addition to the fingerprint sensor, there are additional elements in the form of an accelerometer, gyroscope, light and proximity sensor. There is a minijack for headphones.
