Redmi Note 7 Used as a Skate, Thrown Down the Stairs in Latest

HIGHLIGHTS
*Redmi Note 7 undergoes guerrilla durability tests and comes out a winner
*The phone is thrown down the stairs in a dustbin
*The Redmi Note 7 comes out unscathed after being used as skates

 
 

Redmi Note 7 was introduced earlier this month in China as the first smartphone for Xiaomi's brand-new sub-brand Redmi. The phone was teased heavily before launch, and its durability was highlighted as one of its key features. Before launch, the company shared video footage of employees stomping on to the Redmi Note 7 multiple times, but the smartphone survived the horror apparently without any visible damage. Now, two weird durability tests have been performed on the Redmi Note 7 - one that involves it being thrown down the stairs, and another shows a man skating on top of the phone. In both cases, the Redmi Note 7 comes out unharmed, without any scratches, broken glass, or bends.  
 
Redmi Note 7 dropped from stairs
 
In the first video (reposted below from YouTube), Redmi CEO Lu Weibing throws the Redmi Note 7 down a staircase, inside a garbage can that has been sealed off with tape. During the descent, the Redmi Note 7 is seen thrashing and tossing in the bin, but it scrapes through the ordeal without any damage. This can be attributed to the Redmi Note's phantom grade double-sided Corning Gorilla Glass 5 body. 
 
Redmi Note 7 used as a skate
 
In the second video (reposted below from YouTube), a user apparently decides to duct tape the Redmi Note 7 with wheels, and use it as skates. The blogger proceeds to put all of his weight on the phone and skate for a decent amount of time. The wheels lose its grip, which forces him to stop, but upon inspection at the end, the Redmi Note 7 is completely unmarked, without any scratches or broken glass. The phone is seen working perfectly fine after suffering the ordeal - a decent testimony to its tough exterior. Of course, we'd urge readers to take both videos by the official Redmi CEO and the blogger with a pinch of salt, and recommend not trying such tests on your own smartphones back home.
 

The smartphone's major highlights include the 48-megapixel sensor present in its dual rear camera setup, a waterdrop-shaped notch, fingerprint sensor on the back panel, and a 4,000mAh battery.

Redmi by Xiaomi is already working on the Redmi Note 7 Pro smartphone, which is likely to be the international variant of the Note 7. The phone's purported price-tag was leaked recently and it is quite possible that we will see a similar pricing in India.
