Redmi Note 7 The Redmi Note 7 features a glass front and back with
Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection on both sides. The phone feels
incredibly premium, especially for its starting price of Rs. 9,999. The
6.3-inch LCD display produces decent colours and brightness
level is also very good. The Redmi Note 7 has a dewdrop notch, a
notification LED in the chin and a hybrid SIM slot. It’s powered by a
Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC which offers very good app and gaming
performance. MIUI 10 still spams you with a lot of ads and promotions
but you can disable most of them. The rear 12-megapixel camera on the
Redmi Note 7 captures usable daylight shots but the AI can make colours
look unnatural. Low-light camera performance isn’t stellar and so is
the video recording, but the selfie camera shoots decent images. The
4000mAh battery on the Redmi Note 7 will last you a full day on a single
charge and there’s fast charging support too, however that charger doesn’t come bundled in the box.

Realme 3
Realme 3 review summary
The Realme 3 is the successor to the Realme 2 and features an updated
design unibody design, with a dewdrop notch. The 6.2-inch display still
has an HD+ resolution, which is a little low for this price segment but
it produces good colours and is legible under sunlight. It also
supports two Nano SIM cards with Dual VoLTE and a separate slot for a
microSD card. The phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio P70 SoC, which
delivers good app and gaming performance. We didn’t notice any
overheating issues either. ColorOS 6.0 is based on Android 9 Pie, which
looks slick compared to previous offerings. The rear 13-megapixel camera
sadly, isn’t a consistent performer and struggles in low-light. The new
Nightscape and Chroma Boost feature do their job well. The selfie
camera is also quite average at best. The 4230mAh battery didn’t fare
too well in our battery loop test but does last a full day on one
charge. The Realme 3 is a decent upgrade but at this price, we think
you’d be better off with the Realme U1 or even the Redmi Note 7 by
Xiaomi, for a bit more money.

Honor 9N
Honor 9N review summary
The Honor 9N is a compact smartphone that sports a vibrant display
and a fresh and modern design. However, the sub-par performance, average
cameras, and mediocre battery life prevent it from competing with the
likes of the Redmi Note 5 Pro and Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1
