Xiaomi Redmi 7 — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Xiaomi Redmi 7 was 2019's mainstream budget Redmi and one of the best-value phones of its year: a big 6.26-inch waterdrop-notch display with Gorilla Glass 5, the capable Snapdragon 632, a dual camera with a proper depth sensor, and a 4,000mAh battery. Discontinued years ago, it remains one of the more usable cheap used phones. This guide covers its verified specifications and second-hand buying checks.

Key Specifications at a Glance

Design and Build Quality

At 158.7 x 75.6 x 8.5 mm and 180 g, the Redmi 7 is a full-size phone with a gradient-style plastic back that looked far more expensive than it was. The front is Gorilla Glass 5 — a genuine durability upgrade over its predecessors — with a small waterdrop notch. The body is rated splash resistant (not waterproof). The rear fingerprint sensor is fast and well placed. Colours were Lunar Red, Eclipse Black and Comet Blue.

Display Features

The 6.26-inch IPS LCD runs at 720 x 1520 (about 269 ppi) in a 19:9 ratio. Resolution is the compromise: on a screen this large, 720p is visibly soft next to Full HD panels. But the size is great for video and reading, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection was unusual at this price in 2019. A reasonable screen for media; not for pixel-peepers.

Processor and Performance

The Snapdragon 632 (14 nm) uses four Kryo 250 Gold performance cores and four Kryo 250 Silver efficiency cores at 1.8 GHz, with Adreno 506 graphics. The Kryo cores give it noticeably more punch than the Cortex-A53-only chips in older budget phones — everyday use is smooth, and light-to-moderate games are playable. In 2026 it is still one of the more capable chips you will find in a used phone at this price, though heavy modern games are beyond it.

RAM and Storage

Configurations run 2GB/16GB, 2GB/32GB, 3GB/32GB, 3GB/64GB and 4GB/64GB (eMMC 5.1). The 3GB/32GB and 4GB/64GB versions are the sensible used buys — avoid 2GB RAM if you can. A dedicated microSDXC slot means dual SIM and a memory card coexist happily.

Camera Features

The rear camera pairs a 12MP main sensor (f/2.2, 1.25-micron pixels, PDAF) with a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots. Daylight photos are good for the class, and video records at 1080p at up to 60fps — smoother than most budget rivals. The 8MP front camera (f/2.0) is a step up from the 5MP units in older Redmis. Low-light performance is average, with no night mode or stabilisation.

Battery and Charging

The 4,000mAh battery with the efficient Snapdragon 632 was a strong combination — comfortably a full day, often more, when new. On a used unit, test actual endurance; replacement batteries are inexpensive at repair shops. Charging is 10W wired over microUSB — slow by modern standards, so overnight charging is the routine.

Software and Updates

The Redmi 7 launched on Android 9 Pie with MIUI 10 and was upgradable to Android 10 with MIUI 12. That is newer than any 2017-18 Redmi here, but updates still ended years ago. Do not use it as your main phone for banking or sensitive accounts, and confirm that essential banking, payment or government apps still support its Android version before depending on it.

Connectivity and Additional Features

Network support is GSM/HSPA/LTE — 4G only, no 5G. The extras list is generous: infrared blaster, FM radio, 3.5mm jack, Wi-Fi b/g/n with Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX HD, GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/BDS, USB OTG over microUSB, and a rear fingerprint sensor. No NFC. Splash resistance adds a little peace of mind.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Known configurations span 2GB/16GB up to 4GB/64GB in Lunar Red, Eclipse Black and Comet Blue. It is the bigger, stronger sibling of the Redmi 7A below. Discontinued since 2020, so all units are used. Xiaomi phones at Zohaan Mobile Gallery list the Redmi 7 at Rs. 22,000 — confirm the exact variant and condition in hand.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

Zohaan Mobile Gallery lists the Redmi 7 at Rs. 22,000 on its website (checked 2026-10-11). This listing predates the October 2026 market movement and is not a verified current market price — confirm the latest price with the store. The store page describes the unit as 'brand new, box packed'; this model was discontinued years ago, so treat any listing as used or refurbished and verify condition in hand.

PTA approval belongs to the individual handset, not to the model line. A 2017-2019 Redmi changing hands today may be PTA-approved, tax-payable, or blocked, depending on its own IMEI history. Check the specific unit by sending its IMEI by SMS to 8484 before you pay. Zohaan Mobile Gallery's guide on how to check PTA approval walks through the process.

Because this is a long-discontinued model, buy it the way you would any used phone: inspect the screen, test the battery, speakers, charging port and fingerprint sensor in hand, and confirm the IMEI's PTA status. Zohaan Mobile Gallery's guide to buying a used mobile safely is a good checklist to bring along. The store lists the Redmi 7 at Rs. 22,000 — confirm the current price and the unit's condition before you commit.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Main Advantages

• Snapdragon 632 with Kryo cores — the strongest chip among these used Redmi models.
• Big 6.26-inch display with Gorilla Glass 5 and splash resistance.
• 4,000mAh battery; 1080p60 video recording.
• Generous extras: IR blaster, FM radio, 3.5mm jack, aptX HD Bluetooth.
• Wide variant range — 3GB/32GB and 4GB/64GB are genuinely usable.

Main Limitations

• Years past security updates — not for banking as a main device.
• 720p on a 6.26-inch screen is visibly soft.
• 10W charging over microUSB — slow.
• No NFC; camera is daylight-grade with no night mode.
• Used battery health is the main gamble — test before buying.

Who Should Consider This Phone?

The Redmi 7 is the best used buy in this 2017-19 Redmi set for anyone wanting the most capable cheap phone: the strongest chip, the biggest screen with real glass protection, and a big battery. It suits a spare handset, a media phone, or a basic family phone — get the 3GB or 4GB RAM version. Look elsewhere if: you need current software or a sharp screen — then browse the Xiaomi collection or all mobiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of Redmi 7 in Pakistan?

Zohaan Mobile Gallery lists it at Rs. 22,000 (checked 2026-10-11) — confirm the current price with the store.

How is the Redmi 7 different from the Redmi 7A?

The 7 is the bigger, stronger model: 6.26-inch display (vs 5.45-inch), Snapdragon 632 (vs 439), dual rear camera (vs single), 8MP front camera (vs 5MP), and a fingerprint sensor (vs none). The 7A is smaller, cheaper and simpler.

What processor does it use?

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 632: octa-core (4x 1.8 GHz Kryo 250 Gold + 4x 1.8 GHz Kryo 250 Silver) with Adreno 506 graphics.

Does it have Gorilla Glass?

Yes — the front glass is Corning Gorilla Glass 5, and the body is rated splash resistant. That was exceptional protection for a 2019 budget phone.

Is it worth buying in 2026?

As a cheap spare or basic-use phone, it is one of the better used options at this price thanks to its chip and battery. As a main phone, its dead software support counts against it.

Is it PTA approved?

PTA status is per-device. Verify the specific unit's IMEI by SMS to 8484 before purchase.

Final Verdict

The Redmi 7 earned its reputation as a 2019 value champion, and on the used market it remains the strongest of these older Redmis: best chip, biggest protected screen, big battery. Its limits — old software, soft 720p panel, slow charging — are the price of its low cost. Inspect the unit in hand, favour the 3GB/32GB or 4GB/64GB versions, and verify PTA status before paying.
