I dont get why you are upset with buying the note 7 over the redmi 7...

if you are upset with the note 7 just becus you bought it without knowing they only include 10w charger, it just means u dint do ur due diligence in your research before buying.

Not including a qc4.0 charger at this price point, i dont think its something that we can complain about. Saying that you should have bought the redmi 7 over the note 7 just becus the charger included charges the same speed as the lower end varient is like saying you will buy the iphone 7 over the iphone xs max becus the included charger does not support fast charge.

One possible justification for the lack of qc4.0 availability is the rise of USB C-PD which is the only official/usb recommended way for fast charging. I hope you have researched into how qc charging works over usb. Becus knowing that fact will make u realise why there is lesser adoption for qc charging nowasdays.


redmi 7 don't have qc, redmi note 7's qc cannot use, so there is no difference at the end of the day, out of the box, both redmi 7 and redmi note 7 charge at the same rate.

to use the feature, you need to spend another ~60sgd separately purchased compatible hardware.

if you are getting the phone for your parents, i recommend the 7, chances are your parents won't miss the difference in camera and processor and you won't have to purchase new cables for them.

it's decent mid-entry level phone with a premium phone feel due to the glass back. but both the redmi 7 and note 7 will feel the same way in hand.

Most of the user here choose black or blue color? The gradient blue looks nice actually, but a bit looks ah beng-ish and will fade over time. Black color is safer choice?

So now Redmi Note 7 Pro can request to unlock to install global ROM?

Can, need to sign in and bind mi account under developer setting. Then wait for 360hours to unlock bootloader.
Then flash Indian aka global rom.

hydrogel film screen protector.

Hydrogel is super thin film type? I tried once and encounter a lot of bubble and worse cannot reapply since it is very thin and elastic type. Which online seller did you buy from?

Hydrogel is like plastic film (maybe it is). Now it come with an application/guide to assist the user to apply the film on the phone. 3 small bubbles after application but they disappeared the next day. Did not try reapplying because with the applicator/guide and steady hands, the first try went perfect. Bought from Taobao, also available in Aliexpress.

take note the empire international set do NOT come with imda sticker also 2 pins plug
i only buy from empire after reading those reviews but none of them mentioned the lack of imda sticker, too bad consolation it's not costly

whereas ks mobile set has the imda sticker c/w 3 pins plug

I see. Let me share when i received my set next week. I bought from flower mobile through lazada this morning.
As long as local xiaomi verify the warranty should be ok, even without sticker.
