Both devices sport large screens above 6-inches with tiny notches. The Galaxy A50 though is slightly larger but only by 0.1-inch. The pixel density is also in the same range with Redmi Note 7 Pro having a bit of an advantage. Perhaps the biggest difference between the two is in the choice of panels.
