Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. What’s the difference between Redmi 7 and Redmi Y3 (both onclite)?
Both share identical hardware except for the front camera. Redmi Y3 features a 32MP front camera while Redmi 7 has an 8MP front camera. The firmware is compatible for both, but camera performance will vary based on hardware.

Q2. Why is the China ROM on Android 10 while Global is on Android 9?
Xiaomi typically provides longer update support for the Chinese market. The Global variant received Android 10 only in some regions, while China got more consistent updates.

Q3. Can I upgrade to Android 11 on Redmi 7/Y3?
No, Android 10 was the final official Android version for these devices. However, there are custom ROMs available based on Android 11 and newer if you unlock the bootloader.

Q4. My device is experiencing rapid battery drain. Can flashing help?
Yes, battery drain is often caused by software issues. Flashing the stock ROM and calibrating the battery (charge to 100%, drain completely, then full charge) can significantly improve battery life.

Device-Specific Troubleshooting

Camera Issues: Redmi Y3 users may need to ensure they’re using firmware that properly supports the 32MP front camera sensor.
