With the proposal to offer good cost-benefit to the intermediaries band, the phone is an evolution of Redmi Note 6 Pro, model that marked the return of the Chinese manufacturer to the country and started to be sold in March with the initial price of R$ 1,999. The differences between cell phones involve design, processor power and photo set. Get to know, in the following comparison, everything that changes in the passage from one generation to the next of the Chinese smartphone.

Design and canvas

Mobile phones look similar except for notch: while in Redmi Note 6 Pro the cutout is wider, similar to that of iPhone X, in Redmi Note 7 it is more discreet, with drop format.

Screen size differences are minimal from one generation to the next: while the Redmi Note 6 Pro is 6.26 inches long, the Redmi Note 7 is 6.3 inches long. The resolution is Full HD+ in both cases.

Cameras

The Redmi Note 7 promises improved photo quality over the Redmi Note 6 Pro thanks to a new 48-megapixel camera (f/1.8 aperture) on the back. This is the Sony IMX586 sensor, the same as the Zenfone 6 and the OnePlus 7 Pro, capable of delivering images with a high level of detail. In addition, the phone features a 5-megapixel auxiliary camera to capture depth of field in Portrait Mode. The Note 6 Pro set is more modest: the dual camera has 12 and 5 megapixel sensors.

On the other hand, the Redmi Note 6 offers more flexibility for selfies by featuring a 20-megapixel dual front camera and 2 megapixel camera. Xiaomi's release features a single sensor on the front, with 13 megapixels of resolution.

Performance and storage

The Redmi Note 6 Pro features a Snapdragon 636 processor (octa-core at speeds up to 1.8 GHz), less powerful than the Snapdragon 660 chip (octa-core up to 2 GHz) in Redmi Note 7.
