You can buy the affordable Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 in the UK from May 7
Xiaomi continues to bring its older phones to the UK
Xiaomi is in the process of bringing some its most popular phones to the UK, and now we know that it's bringing the Redmi Note 7 to our shores very soon as well.
The Redmi Note 7 will be available in the UK from May 7 – at least, one version of it will be. A black Redmi Note 7, with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, will be available from May 7 at £179, but you'll have to wait a little longer for some variety.

According to Xiaomi, 4GB / 64GB and 4GB / 128GB options will be available a few weeks after the smaller version, as well as a blue color handset.
You'll be able to pick up the Redmi Note 7 from the Mi website, as well as the London Mi store, as soon as it's released – at the moment there's no word on any phone companies offering it as part of a contract.
What is the Redmi Note 7?
The Redmi Note 7, as its price suggests, is an affordable smartphone that Xiaomi offers as part of its lower-end Redmi Note series, as opposed to the mid-range Mi phones like the Xiaomi Mi 9.
One of the selling points is the Redmi Note 7 camera, a 48MP main snapper joined by a 5MP depth sensor, which should be good for taking high-detail portrait and close-up pictures.
Other noteworthy features include a sizeable 4,000mAh battery, 6.3-inch display, and a Snapdragon 660 chipset which is respectable for such a low price.
