Price: 4.5/5
The Redmi 7 is a budget phone, and it delivers good value for its price. Compared to other smartphones in this range, it offers a decent set of features, such as a large screen, good battery life, and satisfactory camera performance. The price definitely makes this phone accessible to a wide range of consumers.
Camera: 3/5
The camera on the Redmi 7 is satisfactory but not outstanding. It features a 12MP + 2MP dual rear camera setup and an 8MP front-facing camera. The camera performance is acceptable in good lighting conditions but struggles a bit in low-light situations. Features like AI portrait mode and HDR are nice additions, but they do not significantly enhance the overall camera performance.
Power: 3.5/5
Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 632 SoC, the Redmi 7 offers acceptable performance for everyday tasks like browsing, messaging, and streaming. It might struggle with heavy multitasking or running high-end games, but it handles basic tasks smoothly. The phone is available in different configurations of 2GB, 3GB, and 4GB RAM coupled with 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB storage, respectively.
Battery: 4/5
One of the standout features of the Redmi 7 is its battery life. The phone comes with a 4000mAh battery which can easily last a day with moderate usage. There is no fast charging support,
