Moving to the battery aspect, the Samsung device is equipped with a 3,500 mAh battery, while Xiaomi goes for a beefy 4,000 mAh cell on the Note 7 Pro. it is highly likely that the Redmi Note 7 Pro will offer a longer battery compared to its rival.

Software-wise, they both ship with Android 9 Pie with their respective custom UIs on top.

On the Redmi Note 7 side, it has a larger 4,000 mAh battery compared to the 3,500 mAh cell on the M40. So specs-wise, it is hard to say which phone is better. However, it is clear that the Redmi phone has a more competitive price in comparison with its Samsung rival.
