Features of Redmi Note 7:

In terms of design and looks, the all-new Redmi Note 7 has a gradient glass body design similar to the recently launched Mi Play smartphone. The front part (i.e. screen) has minimum bezels with a waterdrop notch. On the back panel, there’s a dual camera setup along with a LED flash. The fingerprint sensor and “Redmi by Xiaomi” branding is also located on the back.

The Redmi Note 7 features a 6.3 inches Full HD+ display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 1080×2340 pixels resolution, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

The storage is expandable up to 256GB via MicroSD card. Sadly, there’s no separate slot for microSD card.
