Reviews for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7S

70% Xiaomi Redmi Note 7S review: Lives up to its promise
Source: Gadgets Now English Archive.org version
There is no denying that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7S is a capable device and the starting price of Rs 10,999 makes the whole package more attractive. It has a mid-range processor, 48MP camera, lasting battery — all elements to make sure that you don’t face any issues in the everyday usage. The phone also looks pretty neat at the same time. These specs secure Redmi Note 7S' position as a major player in the sub-Rs 15,000 smartphone bracket, which is quite difficult to make an impact on these days.

Redmi Note 7S review: The budget photography champ
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
The Redmi Note 7S isn’t the only great option in the entry level segment. Realme and Asus both have great smartphones in the segment, but none can offer a camera with such capabilities. It helps that the Redmi Note 7S is powerful enough for most. If photography is a priority, the Redmi Note 7S would be a great choice, but I would recommend stepping up to the slightly more expensive Redmi Note 7 Pro for a truly fantastic imaging experience in the sub-15,000 rupees (~$215) category of devices.

70% Xiaomi Redmi Note 7S review: This is Redmi Note 7 + a 48MP camera
Source: The Indian Express English Archive.org version
Yes, the new Redmi Note 7S has a good performance coupled with a very good camera for its price, though it didn’t fare so well on the gaming front. Don’t buy it just for that 48MP number at the back. Buy if you are in due for an upgrade, and don’t want to pay extra for the Pro.

80% Redmi Note 7S Review
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 7S and Note 7 are nearly identical when it comes to their hardware with the main difference being their rear camera modules. If you don't really care about camera performance, the Redmi Note 7 offers the same experience at lower prices. In that case, might want to hurry up as Xiaomi is planning to phase out the Redmi Note 7 in favour of the Redmi Note 7S.

80% Xiaomi Redmi Note 7S review: A polished Redmi Note 7 and worth its extra price
Source: India Today English Archive.org version
The Note 7S is a good phone. And it is totally worth its price of Rs 10,999. The problem for the Note 7S is the Note 7 Pro, which is a much better phone at a price of Rs 13,999. So here is the deal: if you don't mind spending extra Rs 3,000, then go for the Redmi Note 7 Pro as it offers much better camera and core hardware. The Note 7S should be your choice if you are strictly limited to Rs 10,999 and it goes without saying that at this price tag the Redmi Note 7S is a sweet deal.

80% Redmi Note 7S First Impressions

In the constant rush to stay ahead of its competition, Xiaomi is hoping that the Redmi Note 7S will give buyers another option to choose from. The upgraded primary rear camera is the only difference between the new Redmi Note 7S and the Redmi Note 7. It also costs an extra Rs. 1,000, but will this phone dampen the Redmi Note 7 Pro's appeal?

Redmi Note 7s First Impressions: The Cheapest 48MP camera phone in India
Source: The Mobile Indian English Archive.org version
To conclude, the Redmi Note 7S offers better camera capabilities as compared to the standard version of the Redmi Note 7. It is a good thing that Xiaomi has introduced the cheapest smartphone with a 48-megapixel sensor. However, it might also backfire a bit as customers who recently bought a brand new Redmi Note 7, will surely feel cheated.

Redmi Note 7S hands-on: The perfect middle ground
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
While it is great to see a lot of options in the market, Xiaomi risks alienating and confusing prospective buyers by introducing rapid, iterative models. What do you think? Does Xiaomi have too many smartphone models at similar price points or does it let you pick and choose the exact features that you want?

6.30":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

Xiaomi:

Founded in 2010, Xiaomi Corporation is a Chinese multinational electronics company and produces consumer electronics and related products, including smartphones, televisions, fitness bands, power banks, headphones, smart devices and accessories.

76%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
