Third-party reviews

What customers like about Xiaomi Redmi A7 Pro

  • The 6.9 inch screen gives plenty of room for video and reading.
  • A 120 Hz refresh rate makes scrolling look smooth.
  • 128 GB of storage holds many apps and photos.
  • NFC works for tap payments and quick pairing.
  • Camera and mic privacy controls help you keep the sensors in check.
  • Phase-detection autofocus helps the camera lock focus quickly.

What customers don't like about Xiaomi Redmi A7 Pro

  • 4 GB of RAM means many open apps slow the phone down.
  • A 1.8 GHz boost clock is slow for demanding games.
  • There is no 5G, so mobile data runs on LTE.
  • No optical zoom and no optical image stabilization make shaky video more likely.
  • No wireless charging means it always needs a cable.

Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi A7 Pro puts a 6.9 inch, 120 Hz screen at the center of a budget phone for watching, reading and messaging. Scrolling feels smooth, and the 128 GB of storage leaves room for a big library of apps and photos. NFC works for tap payments, and the camera and mic privacy controls are a welcome extra. The trade-off is speed: 4 GB of RAM and a 1.8 GHz boost clock mean heavy games and many open apps will slow it down. The camera is basic too. There is no optical zoom, no optical image stabilization and no ultrawide lens. It is a sensible pick for someone who wants a large, smooth screen for everyday use and does not play demanding games.
