Home » News » Redmi Note 7 Teardown, the smartphone is cut to pieces!
Il Redmi Notes 7 presented last week in Beijing will be remembered as one of the most important smartphones in Xiaomi history and, in fact, the first device to officially launch the new brand Redmi.
Being the first Redmi device, however, is not the only reason why every newspaper seems to have talked about it so far, the Redmi Note 7 equips components that up to now were dedicated to mid range and that thanks to Xiaomi now will be available to a price ranging from 130 € up (at least in China).
Now, as happens almost every time after the presentation of a new terminal, we have the first video of the teardown, or we can admire the smartphone in all its hardware while it is disassembled. Have you already been intrigued? Then look at the video just published by our Russian alter ego Xiaomishka.
As we can see in the video, the teardown begins as usual from the glass back cover, it is heated and then removed with a suction cup. Having done this we can observe the various internal components such as the trolley for microSD / SIM cards and, by removing screws, you can then disassemble the metal supports that serve to give the smartphone solidity and ensure that you do not disconnect the components at the first fall .
Next, we can admire the much-loved 3.5mm audio jack to connect our favorite headphones without needing adapters. Following are disconnected other components such as USB Type-C, the case and we have a close view of the two rear cameras, the one from 48MP ISOCELL GM1 produced by Samsung and a secondary Samsung from 5MP, the S5K5E8.
The motherboard is then dismantled in which we find the front camera from 13MP, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 AIE processor, 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory (at least in this model) and other important components for the proper functioning of the smartphone.
Finally, after taking a look at the 4000mAh capacity battery equipped with the Redmi Note 7, the smartphone is completely reassembled in a few seconds.
How did you find the video? Have you found any interesting details? If so, please let us know in the comments section below!

After years of teaching elementary school, there's one struggling student in particular that Robbie Butler cannot shake from her mind.
Butler is hardly alone in feeling concern for students who don't have enough to eat and see their grades and prospects decline as a result.
A recent survey released by No Kid Hungry found that 76 percent of public school teachers reported students coming to school hungry regularly. While the study concluded that hunger is on the rise among children in the U.S. and that its consequences are immeasurable, the staff members polled agreed that a solution is already in sight.

The advocacy group surveyed more than 1,000 school employees nationwide to uncover the scope of the issue from those who are at the front lines.
For the first time ever, more than half of public school kids are from low-income families. Without proper nutrition, the students' attendance, participation and social interactions precipitously suffer, the study concluded.
While these kids may not have stocked fridges at home, most public schools actually provide free breakfast. But because the programs often fail to cater to students' logistical and emotional needs, many students don't take advantage of the critical nourishment they need to thrive.
Nearly 10 million kids who qualify for free lunch, don't eat free breakfast at school, according to a report released last month by the Food Research and Action Center. Many miss out either because the meal is served before school starts and kids can't get there in time or because students are too ashamed to admit in front of their peers that their families can't afford the basics.
But schools that have explored making minor tweaks -- such as simply serving breakfast in the classroom so it feels less shameful -- have reported increased participation in the program, which has led to rave results in their students' studies.
When kids eat breakfast, 73 percent of teachers said students pay better attention in class and 53 percent reported higher attendance.
CLARIFICATION: The number of teachers who see children coming to school hungry was updated to reflect a clarification in the No Kid Hungry report.


On Wednesday afternoon, the Legislature, led by Speaker Benjamin Cruz and education committee chairman Sen. Joe San Agustin, personally handed a $430,000 check to education Superintendent Jon Fernandez for school repairs.
Fernandez said the money will be used for repairs at Simon Sanchez High School.
San Agustin and Sen. Dennis Rodriguez introduced Bill 87-34, transferring $430,000 from the Capitol District Fund, which is controlled by the Legislature, for Sanchez High's immediate repairs.
"Because these funds that they are dedicating would expire at the end of September, we have to obligate these funds immediately towards some of the imminent projects and of course top of the list is Simon Sanchez High School, so what we're going to do is shift these funds into Simon Sanchez High School repairs," Fernandez said.
Fernandez said the winning vendor for Sanchez High's repairs secured a performance bond, and the contract has been forward to the attorney general for review.
San Agustin told Fernandez and other education officials during a brief check presentation Wednesday that another check, worth about $150,000, also will be given to GDOE, from Sen. Régine Biscoe Lee's Bill 94-34, which also was signed into law.
That bill directed more than $150,000 in savings from the rolled-back salary increases of senators, the governor and lieutenant governor.
A month before a brand new school year starts, on Aug. 17, the Guam Department of Education is still trying to fill 281 teacher vacancies, repair classrooms, fix air-conditioners, and complete a teachers' union contract, among other things.
Attorney General Elizabeth Barrett-Anderson returned, without her signature of approval, a proposed teacher's union contract the Guam Education Board sent to her office in March.
The attorney general listed concerns and recommendations about 11 items, including teacher's duty day, Superintendent Jon Fernandez said Wednesday.
Teacher's duty day is the maximum amount of time a teacher is required to be at the work site.
Under the proposed contract, a school year will consist of 186 work days or its equivalent, including 180 instructional days or its equivalent, two parent-teacher conference days, two to nine professional development days, and two teacher work days.
"So we think that there are 11 items in that letter. They varied, from some questions about the board's authority, to issues about clarifying certain language and adding definitions," Fernandez said.
He said some items would require further discussion and renegotiation with the union.
Late Tuesday evening, the education board voted 8-to-0 to direct the management negotiating team led by Fernandez to meet with the Guam Federation of Teachers to address the attorney general's letter.
When he was elected board chairman in January, Ada promised that among the board's priorities this year would be to make sure there's a teacher's contract in place.
After a new round of negotiations between GDOE and the teacher's union wrapped up in February, the education board on March 7 approved the union-ratified teacher's contract.
It was a major step toward a collective bargaining agreement, six years after the last one expired, on Nov. 6, 2011. There hasn't been a contract in place since then.
During Tuesday night's board meeting, Fernandez said there are 281 classroom vacancies but that number should dramatically drop by next week as GDOE finalizes the first round of selections.
Fernandez, in his report to the board, said GDOE continues to work with the Guam Waterworks Authority to restore water pressure to the Tiyan area.
The lack of water pressure affects Tiyan High School's gymnasium and the new GDOE offices.
Erosion at a ponding basin by L.P. Untalan Middle School also needs to be addressed soon, Fernandez said. He said GDOE is working with the Department of Public Works to assess safety issues.
GDOE will soon award a contract for the repair of Oceanview Middle School's D Wing, to help prepare seven classrooms needed to open the school, Fernandez said.
He said the middle school's A Wing will be restored next. The concrete structure has been closed down since early 2000. Once this wing is restored, it will provide 14 more classrooms to the school, Fernandez said.
Fernandez said John F. Kennedy High School's track will be repaired, and contractor has been given 120 days to complete the project.
