Supposed Xiaomi Redmi 7 Pro with Waterdrop Notch Display Looks in Real-life Images and Video

After listings of the forthcoming Redmi 7 Pro were marked on TENAA and 3C, a lot of its specifications became clear. Now, the handset can be seen in images and a video, though, the back panel is not shown. What is stimulating to note, however, is that the phone features a waterdrop notch for its display, which makes it the first Xiaomi handset to familiarize this trend.


Tech microblogger Bang Gogo shared two images of the handset with its box, while Russian YouTuber Andro News posted a video showing the device from the front. The images shared by Bang Gogo are also from Andro News. The YouTube video goes into the specifics of the handset, but largely, the info shared by Andro News just confirms what has previously been leaked from the TENAA listing.

Redmi 7 Pro May Sport 5.84-inch Display with Waterdrop Notch


Since Andro News was talented to show the Redmi 7 Pro in real-life and not some CAD renders, what we see in the video is maybe, the final design of the handset. Just for notices, Xiaomi has not publicized the Redmi 7 series yet, but all these escapes hint at a launch that could take place as early as January 2019. The YouTuber settles that the Redmi 7 Pro will come with a 5.84-inch display, and we know from the phone’s TENAA listing that it will become Full HD+ screen resolution. What is new info is the notch, which appearances a bit too wide and round for a waterdrop notch and yet too small and alternative for a regular notch? It would be stimulating to see what name Xiaomi would give to its first such display.

The phone will be slim, gaging only 7.8mm in thickness, but the battery will be only 2900mAh. This is a major drop from the 4000mAh battery we proverb on the Redmi 6 Pro, a budget bestseller from Xiaomi that was launched as lately as September this year.

However, Xiaomi has gratefully given the Redmi 7 Pro a newer chipset, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 632, whereas the Redmi 6 Pro was powered by the Snapdragon 625.

According to the Russian YouTuber, you will become a choice of 3GB or 4GB of RAM, but the TENAA listing shows up to 6GB of RAM. Also, the YouTuber mentions three storing options: 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB, but does not say whatever about a memory card slot, whereas the TENAA listing shows the same three internal storage options and also references a microSD card slot for an additional 256GB of storing. It is not yet clear whether the memory card slot will be a devoted one or simply integrated into the second SIM card slot.




What you will miss out on is NFC and Type-C USB, but that is actually not surprising, given the budget of the device. The video by Andro News did not show the back of the device and in its place shared the same images we saw on TENAA, where the back panel appears to have a glass finish and a dual rear camera setup.

The specs of the double rear camera are not stated by the YouTuber but the TENAA listing suggests there will be an 8MP front shooter and a 12MP primary rear camera. The Redmi 6 Pro has a 12MP+5MP main camera and a 5MP selfie camera, so it is possible that the Redmi 7 Pro will also get a 12MP+5MP rear camera with AI improvements.

The device will boot MIUI 10 based on Android 8.1 but will soon grow an upgrade based on Android 9 Pie. The device is predictable to at least be exposed by January, if not go on sale by then. According to Andro News, the price of the device will be around USD 150, which is unevenly INR 10,500. This sounds just about fine, because the Redmi 6 Pro costs INR 10,999 in its base irregular and it may be given a price cut when its successor comes out.
