Although Redmi Note 7 and Xiaomi Mi 9 appeared on the market some time ago, they only recently had their premiere on the Polish market. As predicted, there is a lot of interest in these models, and many people are considering their potential purchase. This is evidenced, among other things, by how quickly they sold out on the day of the Polish premiere! What are their specifications? What are the prices? Is it worth buying them?

The device is equipped with a 6.3-inch screen with a resolution of 1080x2340px (Full HD+), but you won’t find the iconic classic notch on the front panel. The manufacturer opted for a slightly different solution and placed a teardrop-shaped cutout on the display, which is a nice change, looks aesthetic, and sleek. The screen-to-body ratio is 81.4%.
As for the operating system, Redmi Note 7 runs on the latest version of Android 9.0 Pie with the EMUI 10 overlay. The processor in this smartphone is the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 with Adreno 512 graphics.

The fingerprint reader, which is also included in the smartphone’s design, is located on its back. Of course, the manufacturer also provided the option to use dual SIM and expand memory for files by installing a memory card (no larger than 256 GB). An important specification of this smartphone is also the cameras included in the device. The rear camera is a Samsung Isocell Bright GM1 with a 48 Mpx sensor (first), and the second with a 5MPX sensor. The front camera, on the other hand, has a 13 Mpx sensor.
