Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro 128 GB / 6 GB
 | Outdated Product £155.65 "PRO-pumped" version of the first swallow of the Redmi brand, sent by Xiaomi to independent sailing at the dawn of 2019. The smartphone copies the form factor of the classic "seven" of the Note series in the form of a glass "sandwich" with a "high" screen at the head of the front panel. The display of the gadget has proportions of 19.5:9, in light of which the picture is displayed on it in a vertically stretched resolution of 2340x1080 pixels. Keeping up with popular trends in the smartphone industry, the screen of Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro 128GB has a teardrop-shaped cutout for a 13 MP selfie camera lens. She, by the way, is part of the AI Face Unlock face identification system. Of the innovations, the device was “delivered” with a more performant chipset (11-nanometer Snapdragon 675 instea...d of the 660th “dragon” on board the regular Redmi Note 7), as well as a 48 MP Sony IMX586 image sensor as the host on the rear panel. To help him, a 5 MP photographic sensor is provided to create a bokeh effect. The device has an infrared port, a classic fingerprint scanner, a USB-C port for connecting to external devices and fast charging of a 4000 mAh battery. You can't count on the NFC chip, as expected. |

Top performance in its class
According to the always useful, if not always unambiguous AnTuTu benchmark measurements, Redmi Note 7 Pro is in the top 3 most performant smartphones under $200. According to the results of the tests, he scored an impressive 215K points for this class, quite a bit behind other robust men in the face of Redmi Note 8 Pro and Realme 5 Pro. At the same time, both leaders will cost $ 30 more than Redmi Note 7 Pro.
6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage
As always in such cases, well-chosen components and well-optimized software are to be thanked for good results. In the first case, we are talking about a bunch of eight-core Snapdragon 675, Adreno 612 graphics core and as many as 6 GB of RAM. The same amount was in the almost flagship OnePlus 6T, released at the end of 2018. Ah, how quickly time has flown by. Throw in 128GB of storage with memory card slots and you've got the power of a mid-range laptop. Fantastic for a "pipe" for $200.
Great dual camera
Among other features of the smartphone, we highlight a high-quality IPS display with a diagonal of 6.3" at a resolution of 2340x1080. In terms of design, a glass lid was added in place of the plastic lid. Traditionally, there is a fast charge. Well, the camera is a cut above all that we have seen in smartphones under $200. The Sony IMX586 sensor tries to jump above its head when shooting 48 MP, but if you drop the resolution to an adequate 12 MP, then we get a picture of quite a flagship level. Rather, the younger flagship. Separately, we note intelligent image processing software that performs a very large amount of work, fights noise efficiently, gently smoothes areas with uniform brightness and colour, and slightly emphasizes the contours of objects.
Without NFC
The Achilles' heel of the smartphone, as fans of the brand have probably guessed, was the sawn-out NFC module. It is clear that this is not particularly necessary for the Chinese market, but why not add it for Europe? Fortunately, Chinese sales indicated that this smartphone would become a hit, and Xioami itself has repeatedly pulled off the trick of adding “tubes” for the Western market. The sound quality in the speakers is traditionally not very good either. Actually, these are all cons. If NFC is more important to you than performance, then we recommend paying attention to the excellent Samsung Galaxy A30 and Huawei P Smart 2019. If not, then for its $190 Redmi Note 7 Pro is akin to a gift.
