After launching the Redmi Note 7 and Note 7 Pro in India last January, Redmi is rumoured to be releasing another budget phone, the Redmi 7. The smartphone has not officially launched yet, but its hands-on video has been circulating on YouTube. The video was first uploaded by a Vietnamese YouTuber on the “Tony Phang Studio” , but the video may have been deleted. Unfortunately, before being withdrawn, the video was circulated and uploaded by other YouTubers.
In the video, the Redmi 7 looks compared to the Redmi Note 7 which has been released in China and India. At first look, the face and back look the same. The front of the Redmi 7 has a small notch called the teardrop screen as a front camera holder. The back of the Redmi 7 is also similar, both are equipped with a dual camera, fingerprint scanner panel, and LED flash with a tint of colour gradation. From the video, the hardware section is written “qcom” and “msm8953” which is the series name of the Snapdragon 625 SOC (system-on-chip).
