But what makes the phone standout out from the crowed budget section of the smartphone market is that ridiculous 48MP f/1.8 main camera (Samsung GM1, 0.8 micron pixels) and a 5MP secondary shooter. According to Redmi, the main camera is able to make use of pixel-binning to take better shots, albeit at a 12MP resolution. You can take your selfies with the 13MP front camera.
At first look the device not much different form Xiaomi Mi Play which was announced a few weeks back with a water-drop notch and a sizable chin at the bottom, a fingerprint sensor or the rear with the dual camera setups.
The highlight of the device is arguably the rear 48MP main camera and with the sensor being large, it should provide quite a strong light-gathering capability, which means the camera should be able to produce really great low light photos. At least on paper though, as we know the hardware alone is not the whole story. Pixel 3 showed us that its all about what's going on inside meaning the software. While the 5MP shooter will be used for depth sensing purpose.
Other specs include a 6.3-inch 19.5:9 1080p screen, with a notch up top, a USB-C port for charging, an IR blaster and a headphone jack. It's good to see Redmi bringing the USB-C port in its budget phones while Huawei is still going with micro USB.
In the software department, the Note 7 will ship with Android 9.0 Pie out of the box with Xiaomi's proprietary MIUI 10 over it.
The phone will be powered with Qualcomm's previous generation mid-range chip, Snapdragon 660. Looks like Xiaomi had a fallout with Snapdragon 625 and Snapdragon 636, which is good news for users though. Redmi Note 7 will be backed by a massive 4000 mAh battery.
And that price for all these specs. The device is priced at just 999 yuan (~$147) for the 3GB/32GB model. For the 4GB/64GB variant its 1,199 yuan (~$177), and the 6GB/64GB will be available for 1,399 yuan (~$206).
Will you go for the 48 MP camera for $150? What do you think about the phone? Comment your view below.
