Redmi Note 7 launched in PH with 18 months of warranty

It’s about time. More than two months after its debut in India, the Redmi Note 7 is finally launched in the Philippines — and with an 18-month warranty at that!

Yes, in a market where 12 months of warranty is standard, you’re getting a longer guarantee period from Xiaomi’s Redmi sub-brand. If that doesn’t show confidence in the product, we don’t know what does. If that doesn’t make you buy from official offline and online (Lazada, in particular) stores only, we don’t know what will.

The Redmi Note 7 is the first smartphone of Redmi as an independent brand from Xiaomi. It’s now joined by the Redmi Note 7 Pro and Redmi 7.

At P7,990 (around $151) for the base model, the Note 7 is the cheapest Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 handset in the Philippines. The complete pricing details can be found below:

3GB/32GB: P7,990 ($151)
4GB/64GB: P9,990 ($189)
4GB/128GB: P11,490 ($217)

These variants will be available starting March 27.

The Redmi Note 7 features a 6.3-inch screen with a dewdrop-style notch, where the 13-megapixel front camera is housed. On the rear are the 48-megapixel primary and 5-megapixel depth sensors and a fingerprint reader for fast and convenient unlocking. Both front and back are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

Inside is a 4,000mAh battery that supports quick charging over USB Type-C. The latest software, Android 9.0 Pie-based MIUI 10, comes out of the box.

Now, the next question is, will the other two Redmi phones be released in the Philippines? If yes, when? Yeah, yeah, we know; we suck at waiting.
