On the front of the Redmi Note 7, sits a 6.3 inch LCD display with a small waterdrop notch up top. The display panel has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio with a resolution 2340 x 1080 px and pixel density of 409 ppi. For protection against scratches, it also has Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The top, left and right side bezels around the display are negligible while the bottom bezel is comparatively thicker.
The right side of the Redmi Note 7 is occupied by the power button and volume rockers while the left side accommodates the Dual-Sim slot. The USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer is present on the bottom of the device which is flanked by loudspeaker and microphone grille. The top side of the Redmi Note 7 harbours a 3.5 mm audio jack and an IR Blaster.
The rear gradient panel of the smartphone is made out of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 which houses the fingerprint sensor, Redmi branding and dual camera setup. The smartphone is available in three colour options which are as follows:

The front facing selfie camera of the device uses a 13 MP sensor which is housed in the waterdrop notch above the device. Noteworthy, the smartphone has P2i hydrophobic nano coating which will allow the device to sustain accidental liquid splashes.
The Redmi Note 7 is kitted with the Snapdragon 660 SoC which consists of Adreno 512 GPU and an Octa-Core CPU. Out of the eight CPU cores, four Kryo 260 cores are clocked at 1.8 GHz for better battery efficiency and four Kryo 260 cores are clocked at 2.2 GHz for maximum performance.
