The Redmi Note 7 brings a lot of firsts to the Redmi lineup, and according a recent post by CEO Lei Jun on Weibo, one of those is a water-resistant design, thanks to watertight seals on all ports, buttons, mic, loudspeaker and around the camera modules.
It’s worth noting that water-resistance was not one of the features that were advertised during the phone’s launch last week, and the company admits that it doesn’t have any official IP-rating.
According to Xiaomi, the phone is only resistant to small amounts of dust and water so it would be for the best if you didn’t take it for a swim any time soon.
