Just like Huawei and it's Honor brand, Xiaomi has just launched a new Redmi brand to cater for its midrange phones and the first phone to be released by the new brand is the Redmi note 7.

This produces a clearer and brighter 12MP image even in low light conditions. The rear dual camera set-up also has a secondary 5MP shooter. In the front of the note 7 is a single 13MP front facing camera which also works for the Face ID unlock.

The phone is packed with a 4000mAh battery with Qualcomm's QC 4.0. This is also the first Xiaomi Redmi phone to come with a USB Type-C port.
