Xiaomi Redmi 7A - User Reviews

  • What is the size of MIUI 11 update for redmi 7a

  • Here in South India I am still not getting MIUI 11 update for my Redmi 7A.. I am checking daily for update. But no update is available. Please kindly help me getting update. Recently my phone was hanged and I ROOTED it to factory data reset. Hard reset. Holding volume button and power button. Thanks friends in advance.

  • Does anyone have a problem with proximity sensor like I do? Apperently some times when I am on a call it lights up and sturt turning on things and open apps etc.

  • It's better but not perfect

  • Ok. The update is good and stable. They are no slow downs while unlocking phone and multitasking is faster. Battery is the same ram usage is the same. In conclustion the update is "must have" cause the phone is faster Hope this helps

  • Contrat IS horrible

  • Friends any of you get MIUI 11 update . Please inform me about MIUI 11 update. And results after update.

  • Left side is the mic and right side is the speaker.

  • Does it still happen after the update to MIUI 11 (v 11.0.4)?

  • Never encountered that. But I suspect that your BT and wifi signals are interfering with each other. Try to change your wifi router's channel. Your phone will then use a slightly different frequency to connect to your router and this hopefully eliminates/reduces the interference with your BT signal. BT and wifi both use the 2.4 Ghz band.

  • Perfect phone!

  • Device: Redmi 7A Codename: pine Region: Global Version: V11.0.4.0.PCMMIXM | 9.0 Size: 1.6 GB

  • Xaiomi never disappoints us , you can see good camera features , better gaming experience and best battery in this price range

  • im miui 11 already.. its good update.. same version here

  • Is anyone of you updated to MIUI 11? Mine I got earlier than the specified rollout dates. So far I didn't have any encountered problems, but still I managed to explore this which of them is having a bug. My version is 11.0.4.0 Global Stable

  • Very good phone..few grams heavier though..been using it for 3 days..Xiaomi never disappoint..

  • A very Good phone worth the price. Go for it if you are on budget you will never regret it. Enjoying my Redmi 7a now for 2 weeks. Thanks Xiaomi.

  • Me too sometimes so I have to turn on manually with the power button

  • 8.5k You can collect it from bashundhara city Thanks

  • There are 2 speakers at the bottom but the sound doesn't comes out from left one i think it is not speaker it is the mic.

  • If double tap does not work adjust your mobile to turn on if you pick it up

  • Yes, but it doesn't always react to the double tap, sometimes I have to try 2 or 3 times.

  • Yes

  • Yes.

  • does the redmi 7A suport the double tap to unlock screen ?

  • Mine works fine. Clearly is not a Mi 9 but for the price ($99 USD) is veeeery good. Maybe yours is faulty, return it and ask for a new one.

  • Redmi 7A is not a user-friendly phone. Setting is a pain. Touch screen is sluggish. Unable to set up at all. Going to the shop and ask them for assistance. No manual either. Not recommend this phone at all. My old Redmi 5 is way better.

  • Try to enter as Developer mode, there might an option like "Mobile data always active" toggle its on.

  • Agree! Mine usually lasts 2 days with typical use and the included 10W fast charger tops it up in about 2 hours.

  • Phone, data/charging cable, 10W fast charger, SIM ejection tool, documentation.

  • Because this device has a TÜV Rheinland® certified low blue light display. You can switch to a cooler palette by tweaking "color scheme" under "display settings".

  • no volte ?

  • Phone and charger.

  • What are the things inside the box

  • the battery is very good

  • Bluetooth wifi error! When bluetooth is on, wifi speed is very slow! Bluetooth off, wifi speed again high! What is the solution?

  • very nice phone for its price. Obiviously you don't get great photos and it has low ram but otherwise it has almost everything really needed including fm radio with internal antenna, audio jack, dual sim, microsd

  • How would I get redmi 7A official stable rom ? I was looking rom on miui official site but there is no rom there.

  • Tried several times with both wifi and 4g data network but still cant. Can u show another way. Thank you

  • its a good phone

  • This happened to me too and it was over good wifi network.

  • Anyone who can help me how to install GCam on Redmi 7a?

  • Maybe your network connection is the problem Just updated mine yesterday and my become smooth and fast.

  • Yesterday I got and update miui 11 but I couldn't download it . It was so slow and after a long time it says something wrong. try again one or two minute later. I tried but the result was same as before. If any one know the process please help me .

  • cannot transfer apps to sdcard on mi phones

  • Huh? My MT6739 manages PUBG just fine, even the older Nokia phone I had with MT6737 barely managed and you tell me this shiny new Snapdragon cannot?! O_O

  • I suppose you should know that it's an economy phone. It was never meant for graphics intensive tasks. So stop complaining about the games on this device. Black Shark or ROG phone shall be best if you are game enthusiastic user. You should have bought one of it.

  • It actually can with a couple of frame drops every now and then. You'll just have to set details to low. My bigger issue isn't with the performance of the device playing PUBG but the size of display. The text and control icons are so small that reading them and interacting with them takes significant concentration. Mind you my eyes are ok.

  • Yellowish screen display

  • Thank you. What about mobile legends?

  • snapdragon 439 cant handle pubg tbh, processor must be around snapdragon 660 and up

  • Is this phone compatible with mobile legends or pubg? thanks. I want to buy this phone for my brother.

  • I have used this mobile now for about a week. For normal day to day work this is a 5 star phone. Very nice and very reasonably priced. Manufactured at India facility is another plus point.

  • What's the price in Banglades?

  • A very good phone. Very reasonably priced (Rs.4999/-. Using it for 3-4 days. Flipkart delivered the phone promptly. That is a big plus too.

  • Have you already updated? Because mine has been fixed and it's now working properly

  • Or just need to root it? And also how to install gcam?

  • Hi I have an SD Card 16GB I want to transfer my apps to SD Card how can I do that to my Redmi 7a?

  • System occupied about 8GB... So I'm left with 24GB..

  • How much internal memory is free? (How much the system occupies?)

  • It's supports 10w charging which means(5v,2a) charger.in the box we will only get 5w charger.so purchase a new one

  • Unfortunately after just a month with absolutely the same daily usage the battery is draining three times faster than before. This means that if I almost achieved a three days usage with a single charge now it only lasts me a day. The worse thing is that even in standby it is losing 20% of its charge in 8 hours, so if the battery is at 100% at 10PM when i wake up at 6AM it had gone down to 80%. Oh well, it was really cheap so that is that.

  • really is a good phone , just simple.

  • Bad experience....there are battery issue..touch issue.. sounds issu..net surfing issue I request to everyone please don't purchase this device

  • I love this phone ...super fast accessing and battery is mind blowing 😍

  • Are you sure that it is CDMA ?

  • Turn off the speaker in radio setting. I hope it will work

  • I'm facing radio issue, after Bluetooth headphones connection, I tried to listen to the radio , But the sound didn't come through the headphones, it came from the speaker. Can I solve this?

  • Polycarbonate = sales talk for plastic... :<

  • I am using this phone since a week. Here are my observations * Decent performance for the price * Great built even if it is polycarbonate * Battery is great. It goes 48 hours for me in a single charge * Cameras are good for the price * compact size and easy to handle * Smooth performance I am yet to ch CK it's performance for games. Will update soon. Overall it's q great buy for the price tag.Much Better than buying craps from OPPO VIVO REALME.

  • Only for China.

  • For India and China? I can buy it in Romania. And it's International!

  • please does redmi 7a global version, support 10w charging?

  • Just

  • It' s a good procesor in low budget category! - Qualcomm 439 12nm !! On Mi A1 to say a example it's Qualcomm 625 but 14nm fabrication. It's a veritable to say octa core 8. I'm gonna buy this phone for the cheap stability and design.

  • Mine is a day and a half on normal use

  • I'm facing battery draining issue with this phone.. any suggestions?????????????

  • Wish to know endurance rating for this one

  • With a usb type C, I take it. Because it's cheap with fonctional caracteristics

  • There is a very strong competition in model Alcatel 1S. Less price, more features.

  • Best price and value for specs for real

  • Maybe the best quality/price phone so far.. Hopefully we'll soon see some custom firmware for 7A.

  • no....only wireless fm radio

  • yes...dual 4g

  • Please make it available in Pakistan. I like small size cell phones. This one complete all my needs and wants. Alas not available in Pakistan. Have been using 4A since two years. Haven't given me a single problem. Now want to upgrade. Come on Redmi send me one.

  • This phone have a IR sensor?

  • what about sim slot? both are 4G?

  • Anyways same thing when I tried, maybe they will fix it by next update

  • no

  • Infrared port?

  • yes supported

  • yes...source geekbench

  • This specs makes me excited for the Redmi 8A

  • Are you sure it's 32bit android?

  • What about usb OTG - it is supported or no ?

  • i have a redmi 5 and it takes better, clearer, faster HDR pic than this one..despite that phone being about a year older...

  • You can disable ads by turning off 'recommendations' in mi gallery, mi video, file manager etc...but these ads are really annoying and hope that miui 11 will get rid of these.

  • Redmi 7A even though running 32 bit android supports older versions of gcam and google camera api 2 'level 3' is enabled out of box.

  • Great phone : cheap, good camera, face unlock also dark mode feature, its worth

  • but the print is probably under the glass.

  • Use anti scratch full body

  • Then buy that.

  • Pro tip: There are a lot of other phones with a fingerprint sensor. Buy those.

  • Is anyone forcing you to buy this? If not, buy something else.

  • Why? To pretend it's something else? Nobody cares which phone you are using. You must be really self-conscious to think that other people would care about the small branding on your phone.

  • how to remove front branding?

  • Redmi 7a or Alcatel 1S?

  • &#304; have got a problem with a camera.sometimes it does not work properly

  • How do you do that ?

  • my bank use finger print to authenticate accesses... very very bad, in 2019, omit it

  • Not very good phone hasn't fingerprint scanner Xiaomi please better make

  • And costs more by 50%.. This is a 80 euro phone, and for that price its good

  • Pseudo Gyro.

  • No, Pseudo Gyro.

  • Yes, many people have (about 35%). A corresponding survey of Redmi 7A owners is taking place at the Russian forum ­

  • Yes

  • I've faced that problem and that is the problem in your headphone. Specifically the volume control. you can turn headphone volume control off from MIUI software or third party audio override program.

  • Better Samsung A20e

  • does this phone support gyroscope?

  • then why 64 bit app like gcam not working on pine aka redmi 7a

  • Still Redmi 5 better? because SD 450 & Fingerprint? but battery 3.300mah only

  • Finger print reader Is a must have for some apps Luke home banking.

  • Geekbench

  • NO it is 64.

  • Source ?

  • yeah but this phone has 32 bit os and system installed

  • Does anyone have a problem with proximity sensor like I do? When I talk screen turns on and it starts going in apps or turning on flashlight or something in notification area. Strange, its like a proximity sensor is not working well....

  • You can dissable ads inside evry app, its your choice if you want to see them or not.

  • No generally snapdragons mobiles does not support Dual Volte

  • From SD 410 all CPU are 64bit.

  • Can you try the cheapest mi earphones basic from Xiaomi. Just a suggestion only

  • Does it have dual sim and dual volte support

  • is this phone good for untill 2021 ad ?? bcoz after 2021 August 32 bit app will remove from playstore ???

  • Your earphones are not of good quality.... Plz use good quality earphones.... After that you never face problems....

  • If plug in an earphone jack the volume down to zero automatically and it always appear the that my volume is zero.

  • It has 64bit as the cpu uses cortex A53 cores, which support 64bit.

  • 5 specs missing which would've made the phone double in price.

  • So no gcam support.

  • No the indian one has better sensor

  • so there is no chance to get sdm 439 chipset with 64 bit and single camera phone ??? i like single camera phone rather than dual sensor

  • Sadly Xiaomi Redmi 7A (pine) is ARM (32bit). You can check the kernel source in MiCode GitHub. Regards

  • gcam support?

  • Chinese version has got better main camera

  • It doesn’t have any fingerprint; but it has got face id.

  • Is there fingerprint?

  • is there any camera sensor different on china and global variant ??

  • i asked redmi 7a 64 bit or 32 bit app handler ?? 2 gb ram enough for me im rom developer so i can make for myself smooth and good ram management rom

  • today even 3gb ram is not enought i work with RN5 PRO when i open 4 or 3 app, when i re-opened one app, the app will start from first so for usually used, u need 4gb ram at least for gaming u need 6gb ram this is not just about mi phones, i have exprience with all brands

  • Are you saying honestly. If yes than why so many Good Reviews in Flipkart.

  • I would love to pay extra bit more maybe $50 to $80 for all these 5 extra features if Xiaomi willing to do so.

  • What do you expect to get at the price tag? If you can give me name of One phone which gives you AMOLED and all the stuff you listed at the price of 7a. I will buy that. Even Micromax, Lava and Xolo brands won't give all that you are asking at the price point of 7a.

  • Do not buy 7 A 2GB version available in India . It is useless because only 1 GB RAM is available for use after first update of all apps like WhatsApp. please don't buy this phone

  • why redmi 7a not supporting 64 bit app like gcam 6.1 ?????

  • 5.45 inch with thin bezel is mini enough? Not mini enough. I want below 5 inch with thin bezel, there's any upcoming brand can possible to go mini version below 5 inch with thin bezel.

  • My only issues are no GALILEO, no IR blaster, no 5.0 Bluetooth, no dual speakers like Mi Max 3, and no AMOLED... 5 specs missing which would have made this phone perfect.

  • the price of redmi 7a 3/32 its equal with Nokia 3.1 plus so which one u choose & why?

  • Indian variant of Redmi 7A includes 5w adapter while Global Variant of Redmi 7A includes 10w adapter

  • Can anyone tell me if Redmi 7a has in-app ads? I bought the base model Mi Play and unexpectedly it has ads all over the place. I guess Xiaomi can offer good deals because of this, so I wouldn't be surprised if the 7a has ads.

  • Because MIUI or any UI is sucks

  • so does this device supports usb otg

  • Gsmarena please do a review on it, especially the GPS signal and 4G signal. And also, does it support 4G+ or 4G advance. What about the bottom speaker quality, comparable with Mi Max 2/3 or Redmi Note 5?

  • Yes

  • That' because stock android is shit

  • Does this phone has notification LED?

  • Lies and propaganda! Imagination PowerVR has the best GPUs ever made...

  • The phone has a good memory menagment so the 2gb is not actualy a problem. I have mi a2 lite with 4gb also and he kiks out apps faster from memory than this one, I dont get it...

  • Big forehead and chin when most of the phones put out has a water drop notch.

  • Nope

  • No it has the worst GPU ever it laggs in scrolling YouTube and facebook

  • Helio P22 is faster...

  • Depending on countries, in most europian countries it's from ~100-140€.

  • Maybe is cheap, simple, not attractive - but GSM Arena you sure could make some review, please.

  • 13 MP, f/2.2, 1.12µm, PDAF - China or 12 MP, f/2.2, 1/2.9", 1.25µm, PDAF - India That's what they wrote and this is true it's 13mp in china but 12mp in india

  • Xiaomi / Redmi has lost its USP that was best bang for the buck. At the same price Realme is offering C2 which offers better specs. Larger display with notch, better camera. Better design. These guys have to work harder or in next few years they will be another 'had been' brand.

  • Any one help me what about sound speaker 7a..plzzz

  • Global version has the same IMX486 12mpx camera. You can check it in unboxings.

  • Ideal for kids.

  • Camera isn't 13mp, it's 12 mp. fix it.

  • haven't

  • this have ir blaster

  • Mediatek Helio P22 is also on 12 nm manufacturing process.

  • No P22 is in 12Nm process

  • No they won't

  • Seriously they provided snapdragon 730 for redmi 7A. Hope they did this on the Redmi 7 variant and everybody will be happy on the budget lane.

  • Are u dumb or what ? the Snapdragon 439 is 12Nm Chipset and the Helio P22 is 28Nm i think now we both know Which one is better in Performance

  • Helio P22 would be better and faster! OwO

  • Stop writing nonsense this is a much better phone than redmi 3

  • and that's why and because.... (^___^)

  • pointless phone in my opinion! instead of making new phone they should relaunch redmi 3 phone. why to make this kind of joke xiaomi? make one decent compact phone, not jokes like that. redmi 3 is much better phone than this new phone. how to call that phone? shovel with small screen? definitely not compact. definitely old redmi 3 was better than this.

  • It is not 100 EUR. I order it from China for $80

  • Last time it was 70 euro since it fits my budget but now 100 euro? My god I'll switch to redmi 7 or redmi note 7 instead and I just save more money for that. The reasons to buy that is My backup phone. Better go the higher versions instead

  • in a few pages it says it's a 4x1.95ghz + 4x1.45ghz and here it says 2x1.95ghz+ 6x1.45ghz what are the correct spacifications??

  • Well for just 100 euro, you can't expect that much. It seems a nice phone for this price.

  • FM radio with built in antenna, that's nice. No notch, that's nice too. But for 100 euro I'd better go for the Nokia 2.2 which is 90 euro, despite the notch.

  • Yes, it's 2019 and we still get both affordable phones, and expensive phones. More options is a good thing.

  • tenk God it dosnt have notch xiaomi very strong brand

  • Yeah I agree, its 2019 already and we still get this.

  • around one year for redmi series, two years for mi series

  • Not Dewdrop notch its a dissapointed very poor

  • Is this one support usb OTG........?

  • just look at the chipset of the phone 12nm and the gpu is adreno 505.

  • Trash Mediatek SoC, ColorOS and you recommend these? Plus the Realme 3 is not in the same price bracket.

  • Realme C2 or Realme 3

  • Nope Same as Redmi 6A Just Single Camera Design Changes Redmi Logo on the front and back

  • when it will come in bangladesh?

  • Worst phone? Than suggest a better phone at this price

  • Wish it had no bezel, but same screen

  • No. It does not have infrayed blaster. The phone that you saying is also a worst phone.

  • No

  • Yes

  • Its have infrared blaster?

  • lol 70 euro is around 4k to 5k php.

  • U want to buy Huawei right now ? US trade ban dude.

  • 2GB+16GB – 549 Yuan ($80) 2GB+32GB – 599 Yuan ($86) 3+32 ???????? even redmi 6a have 3+32 any improvement to 4+64 ?! or 3+64 ?

  • here we have y7 prime 2017 WITHOUT fingerprint

  • no fingerprint?! at least make the battery REMOVABLE

  • Alcatel 1s SoC Cortex A55 with bigger fabrication 28nm vs Redmi 7A SoC Cortex A53 with tiny fabrication 12nm, I believe the latter is better than the former in term of battery efficiency because the smaller fabrication will have the better power consumption.

  • Ya agree

  • if only support 5ghz ac wifi, would be perfect

  • The regular Redmi 7 should have had these dimensions but with FHD+ screen.

  • Unfortunately, no one is buying alcatel anymore. Soon it will be like the dodo bird.

  • Atleast they improved the battery on this and the Redmi 7. The Redmi 6 and 6A had crappy batteries.

  • 80$ Phone+ splash resistent is best for price :) oppo phones have no water resistance or splash resistence, a lot of brands dont :(

  • Be like apple? Check how last year went for them

  • Because redmi 4x is more expensive

  • you write here that it's dualsim and in the news that it's hybrid dualsim. so what is it? hybrid dualsim is a deal breaker for me.

  • Alcatel 1s is better option I think, 3/32gb from start, fingerprint scanner, double camera on the back, a bit bigger screen with almost the same body size, there is also notification led. Alcatel has smaller battery than Redmi BUT there is Cortex A55 soc.

  • how to remove the logo from the front?

  • It's not even better than Redmi 4X from 2017 so why should anyone buy a phone that's not better than a budget phone from 2 years ago

  • Bigger Battery, 10w charging, 12nm SD439, 5.45 inch 18:9, Android Pie Out of the Box, Redmi Logo on the front.

  • Why are they so cheap ? For specs

  • dedicated memory slot & helio p35 would have made it buyable.

  • Better than the redmi go.

  • why no fingerprint?! spec and size all perfect. hope they make another version with finger print price under 100euro.

  • That is not my problem say that to Xiaomi

  • also xiaomi phones they doesn't support KNOCK CODE in setting. thats actually returns to 6 or more years ago to use it instead fingerprint jus face unlock in this phone thats not cool

  • no big size, great battery, jack, radio fm, xiaomi price, and (i hope) decent camera. Perfect for me to use whatsapp, facebook, youtube, and googlemap. I don't need fingerprint.

  • Does anyone know for how long Xiaomi support their non-Android One phones?

  • no fingerprint !!!!! no buy

  • Nice phone and not expensive

  • If I were Xiaomi I'll just put my money to phones that you can get profit from it, a great example is Redmi Note 7, I hope they don't go like Samsung who produce phones that are completely useless, be like Apple, were all phones are profitable

  • Xiaomi - hmm we have lots of phone components left what shall we do? Yeah let's release a new phone

  • this is what Samsung a20 might have been if Samsung didn't decide to fight against the Chinese companies

  • No fingerprint sensors, its ok for me. Overall this phone specs its ok for me.
