The Redmi Note series has managed to carve out an impressive list of favorites. Thanks to its exceptional manufacturing quality and tons of features at such a low price, it is becoming one of the most popular brands. Similarly, the latest offer of Xiaomi, the Redmi Note 7 Pro, follows the same path.
The device was launched with MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0 Pie. In terms of performance, the chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 runs on 8 cores. In addition, the internal memory is 128 GB and could be expanded via a microSD card. Regarding the camera, the dual rear camera has a 48MP + 5MP combination while the front one has a 13MP configuration.
But even with such amazing features, many users are running out of software, which is the custom Android that Xiaomi has to offer. The two main reasons are the tons of bloatware that MIUI has in itself and the presentation of ads, as well as in the Settings menu of the device. Although normal users do not have much choice in this regard, if you are one of the geeks who like to tweak the device software, there is definitely good news for you.
An OxygenOS port based on Android 9.0 Pie can now be worn on your Redmi Note 7 Pro. The process is quite simple. But before starting the procedure, please see the Prerequisites and Downloads section below.
