But bank for your buck is one thing, and quality is another. So, how do the two Redmi phones stack up?
The Redmi Note 7 is available in a 3GB RAM & 32GB storage and 4GB RAM & 64GB storage variant. The Note 7 houses a Snapdragon 660 SoC, which is pretty impressive as most phones in this price range stick to the Snapdragon 632 or 636 SoC. The Note 7 also boats a dual-rear camera setup, water-drop notch front camera and a 6.3-inch FHD+ display. The entry-level Note 7 comes in at Rs 9,999, while the 4GB variant costs Rs 11,999.
The Redmi Note 7 Pro features several improvements on its non-pro counterpart. The most noticeable changes come in the form of an upgraded Snapdragon 675 SoC and a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 camera sensor. The 4GB RAM and 64GB storage variant of the Note 7 Pro will set you back Rs 13,999, while the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant comes in at Rs 16,999.
Nothing in these price-ranges comes close to the specs offered in the Redmi Note 7 and Note 7 Pro - particularly in the Note 7 Pro - couple that with Xiaomi’s brand reputation in the Indian smartphone space and you have a winning combination.
