Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro review: Look no further for a phone under Rs 15,000

Redmi Note by Xiaomi has been the perfect mid-budget Android smartphone and with every successor, the company has been raising the benchmark. But with the Redmi Note 7 Pro coming less than six months after the Redmi Note 6 Pro, does Xiaomi has enough to justify the upgrade?

The Redmi Note 7 Pro scores equally well on performance front as well. It performed smoothly with multiple apps running in the background. Streaming videos was a delight and there wasn't any lag while playing games either. But the device started to heat after a few minutes of playing games such as Battlefield and PUBG. However, our review unit wasn't running the final retail unit software. The device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB internal storage. Although it is a dual SIM phone, the secondary SIM slot is a hybrid one and can be used for microSD card as well.

Battery: It took Xiaomi a little long, but the company has finally incorporated a Type-C charging port. The 4100mAh battery supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 4 but the 10W charger, bundled in the box, isn't compatible for fast charging. It usually takes close to two and a half hours for a full charge that lasted me over a day of average usage.

If you are looking for a good smartphone under Rs 15,000, look no further. The Redmi Note 7 Pro priced at Rs 13,999 is one of the best smartphones you can buy. It looks stunning, has a great camera, good performance, and an impressive battery backup.
