Questions people ask
What model number is the Redmi 7?
A real Xiaomi Redmi 7 reports ONC or REDMI 7 or REDMI Y3. In Chrome, Phone Checker reads it from the phone itself, so a copy can't hide behind Settings.
How much RAM does the Redmi 7 have?
At least 2 GB in the smallest version sold. A copy often has less, whatever its Settings say.
Which Android versions does the Redmi 7 run?
It came with Android 9. A version older than 9 means a different phone.
How do I know if my Redmi 7 is original?
Open ogphonechecker.com on the phone itself and tap Check this phone. In about 20 seconds it compares the model code, graphics chip, RAM and screen with a real Redmi 7, for free.
