Redmi Note 7 Pro 6GB RAM + 64GB storage variant launch

Xiaomi India launched a new storage variant of its popular Redmi Note 7 Pro₹ 14,890 smartphone in the country this week. The new 6GB + 64GB Redmi Note 7 Pro variant carries a price tag of Rs. 15,999 and joins the already available 4GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB variants, which are being sold at Rs. 13,999 and Rs. 16,999, respectively. The new storage variant is currently available on open sale as a part of the company's ongoing Mi Days sale and Mi Super Sale, alongside the 6GB + 128GB model. Following the latest round of Mi Days and Mi Super Sale, the new Redmi Note 7 Pro variant is likely to go back to the flash sale model.

Apart from the storage and RAM differences, the new Redmi Note 7 Pro variant is exactly the same as existing versions. You will get a 6.3-inch full-HD+ (1080x2340 pixels) display with a waterdrop-style notch, octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 SoC, and a 4,000mAh battery. The Redmi Note 7 Pro also packs a dual rear camera setup with a 48-megapixel primary shooter with an f/1.79 lens and a 5-megapixel secondary image sensor. There is also a 13-megapixel shooter at the front. Other specifications of the Redmi Note 7 Pro include 4G VoLTE support, USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a rear fingerprint sensor, and MIUI 10 with Android 9 Pie.

Like the other variants, Xiaomi is selling the new Redmi Note 7 Pro 6GB + 64GB model via Flipkart and Mi.com. There is no word on the availability via Mi Home stores and Xiaomi partners retailers at this point, but it is very likely that the new variant will get expanded availability in the coming weeks. In our review, Redmi Note 7 Pro impressed us a lot with its premium design, good cameras, long battery life and great performance. The MIUI bloat and ads remain its biggest issues.
