After creating all the necessary hype Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Note 4 today in India. This incremental update to Redmi Note 3 offers 20 percent more efficient battery performance thanks to the new Snapdragon 625 chipset, whose popularity is all of a sudden skyrocketing.
Display & Design
The new Note 4 looks elegant with a uni-metal design and 2.5D curved glass on top, but it’s still quite heavy tipping the scale at 165 grams. It comes with the same 5.5-inch full HD 401 PPI display as the Redmi Note 3. The phone also sport a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. You can buy it in black, gold and gray color options.

It comes with 2GB/3GB/4GB RAM and 32GB/64 GB storage depending on the variant they choose. 4G VoLTE support is standard among all three of them.

Not excited……Xiaomi really needs to work on the design part and availability in smaller towns in India.
Though many things are missing if you compare with competition, but still a good phone and as usual value for money and design better than RN3.
