Redmi Note 7 Pro with 48-megapixel to be launching next month

Redmi Note 7 was introduced just two days ago, but the official announcement missed to mention an important feature – the ports and buttons have watertight seals. Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun now confirmed that on Weibo.

He says that the engineering team put a lot of effort to design watertight seals for all the weak points of the handset – the SIM card tray, USB-C port, 3.5mm audio jack, the buttons and you can even find some around the camera module. Moreover, there’s a membrane on the loudspeaker as well.

According to GizmoChina, Redmi plans to launch the Redmi Note 7 Pro smartphone in February, after the Spring Festival (February 5th). The smartphone will have the Sony IMX 586 sensor that can capture images of 48-megapixel resolution. On the other hand, the Samsung GM1 sensor “can only do 12-megapixel but interpolates to 48-megapixel.”

In fact, the Xiaomi wanted to use the Sony sensor on the Redmi Note 7 as well, but had to go for the Samsung sensor due to supply chain constraints. But it seems those issues will be sorted over the next month and we can expect a better photography experience with the upcoming Redmi Note 7 Pro.
