Xiaomi launches Redmi Note 7 in India but the Redmi Note 7 Pro steals its thunder

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7

In a press conference in New Delhi, Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 7 in India – just a couple of months after it launched the Redmi Note 6 Pro in the market.

Xiaomi has been the number one smartphone brand in India, the company’s biggest market outside of China, since over a year now and much of its success and positive mindshare has been piggybacking on its bestselling Note series.

The Redmi Note 7 is Xiaomi’s first smartphone under its new Redmi sub-brand.

Not the 48MP camera

While the Redmi Note 7 Pro sports the much-hyped 48MP rear camera, the Redmi Note 7 pro comes with a 12MP camera combined with a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there’s a 13MP camera for your selfies. Of course, there are the AI smarts like the scene detection, AI Portrait 2.0, et al.

A new design, finally

Xiaomi has finally decided to refresh its design language with the Redmi Note 7 going with the now common glass sandwich design. It does sport some eye-catching gradient colors making the smartphone stand out in a crowd.

The display on the front is 6.3-inch Full HD+ LCD.

Mid-range specifications

The Redmi Note 7 is powered by a Snapdragon 660 chipset, which is pretty powerful for a budget device. The Redmi Note 7 packs comes in two memory variants – 4 GB + 64 GB and 6 GB + 64 GB.
Other specs include a 4,000mAh battery, USB Type-C connectivity (finally!), an IR blaster, and a headphone jack.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14

Face unlock easily defeated with photo in over 30 smartphone models

We’ve seen a resurgence in face unlock across the mobile industry, arguably due to Apple’s  iPhone X  touting the technology. Unfortunately, a new study shows that plenty of phones can be defeated with a simple photo. The Dutch  Consumentenbond organization found that out of 110 devices tested, 42 could be unlocked with a high quality photo of the owner (h/t: The Register ). To be fair, the organization counted regional and dual-SIM variants as separate models in its testing, so the real number of dodgy devices is actually in the 30s. Nevertheless, this still represents a massive number of devices that are vulnerable to a simple photo. The list wasn’t restricted to a few manufacturers either, as the likes of Alcatel , BlackBerry , Huawei , Lenovo , Nokia , Sony , and Xiaomi were all featured here. Most of these phones were budget devices, but we also have a few flagships affected by shoddy face unlock. These devices include the HTC U11 Plus , the Huawei P20 Pro , and Sony’s Xper
