With a RAM of 3GB and storage space of 32GB, Xiaomi Redmi 7 is currently trading at Shs625000, putting it at mid-level price when compared with other Xiaomi smartphones in Uganda.

Redmi 7 will definitely strike you with its 6.26-inch HD screen, featuring Dot Drop display and a 19:9 aspect ratio. This is enriched with a resolution of 720×1520 pixels at a pixel density of 269 pixels per inch.
