Whether you are looking for a smartphone for the first time or you want to upgrade to a new device, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is a great option. It features an impressive Snapdragon 660 SoC, Gorilla Glass 5, and a dual-lens camera, among other things.
Dual-lens camera
Having a dual-lens camera on the back of your phone isn’t a new concept. LG launched a dual-camera phone in 2016 and HTC started the trend with the One M8.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has a 48-megapixel camera. This is an impressive resolution, but it’s a bit of a misnomer. The real-world resolution is 12 megapixels. The camera can also store a lot of information.
The Redmi Note 7 uses pixel binning, which combines the information of four pixels to form one 1.6um pixel. This helps improve low-resolution images. The camera app also has the ability to adjust ISO, white balance and scene detection. The resulting pictures are well-lit and show nuances in the dark and light areas.
The smartphone also uses a Quad Bayer filter and super-resolution techniques. This helps improve low-light pictures. It’s also a good way to save battery power. The screen is also an impressive 6.3-in Full HD+ resolution.
The dual-lens camera on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that you’d find on a top-tier flagship phone, but it’s a solid performer. It’s capable of shooting good-looking pictures in a 12MP mode and capturing superb detail in good lighting. The Pro mode allows you to adjust your shutter speed and ISO.
Snapdragon 660 SoC
Earlier this week, Redmi announced the launch of Redmi Note 7 which will be the first smartphone in the world to come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC. The SoC is expected to provide great performance, though the price is not yet revealed. The device will come in three variants, which include a 3GB + 32GB model, a 4GB + 64GB model, and a 6GB + 64GB model.
Redmi Note 7 features a 6.3-inch FHD+ IPS LTPS LCD screen with a waterdrop notch. It also sports a 48MP primary sensor with an aperture of f/1.8. The device also comes with a 5-megapixel secondary sensor. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and features a 4,000mAh battery with Quick Charge 4 support. It is also equipped with a USB Type-C port.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 will be available in Twilight Black, Blue, and Gold. It will also come pre-installed with the latest Android 9 Pie OS. The device is available for purchase in China only.
Gorilla Glass 5
During the launch of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, it was mentioned that Corning Gorilla Glass 5 had been used to protect the display. However, it is not the first smartphone to feature this protective technology.
Corning has crafted the Gorilla Glass 5 to be four times stronger than its predecessors. In fact, Gorilla Glass 5 delivers a 2x increase in scratch performance, while also raising the bar in terms of protection from drops.
As for the Redmi Note 7, it features a 2.5D curved Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back. This helps to provide protection from everyday drops, as well as enhance the display’s overall performance.
The Redmi Note 7 features a 6.3-inch LCD panel, which offers decent color reproduction and brightness. The display is protected by the 2.5D curved Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The display also has a microcrack edge polishing process.
The company also revealed that the Gorilla Glass 5 could survive drops of up to 1.6 meters. This is quite impressive, considering the fact that most smartphones are not designed to survive drops this far.
Keyboard lag
Among the many issues on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 smartphone, you may have noticed the keyboard lag. The problem is usually caused by a full-screen gesture. This can be fixed by disabling the full-screen gesture.
Alternatively, you can solve the problem by factory resetting the smartphone. You can do this by going to Settings> Backup and Reset. After you have backed up your data, you can do a factory reset.
However, you should avoid doing it if you are taking photos or videos. During such activities, your phone’s processor will get very hot.
If your keyboard lags when you type messages or emails, you can try to clear the keyboard app cache. The cache is a temporary bit of information that helps the app to perform better. If the keyboard lag persists, you can try to relaunch the app from the home screen.
Another solution to the problem is to use a screen protector. These protect your screen from overheating. However, you should be aware that screen protectors can limit the sensitivity of your screen.
