 PROS:

1. With a high RAM, Redmi 7 offers effortless multitasking. (With an impressive processing speed of 1.8 GHz, Redmi 7 executes the instructions and tasks faster.)

2. As Redmi 7 operates on an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 processor, this phone seamlessly executes 8 instructions at a time! 

3. The 6.26-inch screen is not only big and stylish but also offers you more space to work on your phone. Today mobile phones are used for doing a lot of personal and even office-based work. Hence a large screen size is beneficial. 

CONS:

1. Redmi 7 has a very high SAR value.

2. It gets heated up easily 

(SAR details of Redmi 7: 

Head SAR: 1.031 W/kg

Body SAR: 0.573 W/kg (at a distance of 15 mm)

Note:

SAR limit per 1 g of human body tissue (fixed by the Government of India) = 1.6 W/kg

The full form of SAR is - Specific Absorption Rate. 

SAR is a measure of the quantity of radiation emitted by an electronic device.) 

Personal experience

When I use my phone for a prolonged period (say 20-30 minutes), I feel drowsy and fatigued, maybe because of the abnormally high SAR value of my phone. The phone gets heated up on using it continuously! 

On the other hand, performance-wise, Redmi 7 is excellent!! 

My rating - 2 stars (out of 5)

For you

Mobile phone radiation adversely affects health. If you are a health-conscious person, I will not recommend this phone. 

If you are a person who wants a well-performing phone within 8,000 INR, then go for Redmi 7.
