Redmi Note 7s first sale commences today – comes with a ₹10,000 ($158) starting price

Today, Xiaomi Global Vice President, Manu Kumar Jain, announced on Twitter that Redmi Note 7S will hit the market in India today. In terms of price, the Redmi Note 7S 3GB+32GB version is priced at ₹10,999 ($158), and the 4GB+64GB version is priced at ₹12,999 ($158).

The device flaunts a 6.3-inch Full HD+ DotNotch display with 1.95 mm narrow bezels, 81.37% screen-to-body ratio, and a Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Its P2i nano-coating makes it splashproof and it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC coupled with 3GB/4GB of RAM and 32/64GB of internal storage which is expandable via microSD. Based on Android 9.0 with MIUI 10 on top, the Redmi Note 7S is powered by a 4,000 mAh battery with Quick Charge 4.0 which supports 18W  fast charging, though it only ships with a 10W charger.

In addition, Redmi Note 7S supports P2i life waterproofing. According to the official introduction, this device uses nano-water-repellent coating technology to form a uniform water-repellent film on the surface of the mobile phone. When water splashes on the phone, the surface of the mobile phone can drain away like a lotus leaf. This reduces the corrosion of common liquids such as oil, cola, wine, milk, sweat, salt spray, etc., and let it stay with you for a longer time.
