Just about a year after the launch of the extremely successful Redmi Note 3, Xiaomi has finally brought the Redmi Note 4 to India. Priced from Rs 9,999, the phone sticks to the competitive price position of its predecessor, offering a similar set of features and specifications, and an all-round approach to the smartphone. The Redmi Note 4 first sale on 23rd January at 12PM on Flipkart and mi.com/in and the next sale will on 1st March at 12PM, with three variants available. The most affordable 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage variant will be priced at Rs 9,999, while the 3GB RAM and 32GB storage variant will cost Rs 10,999, and the 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage variant will retail at Rs 12,999. The phone will be available in three color variants: gold, dark grey and matte black. The matte black variant won’t be available at launch, and will be made available at a later stage.
Although the device is a successor to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, it features an SoC that could be considered a slight downgrade from that of the Redmi Note 3. While the older device runs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 SoC, the newer phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 clocked at 2GHz. Although the 625 is an octa-core SoC as compared to the hexa-core 650, the latter has two ARM A72 cores as the secondary processing unit, while the latter uses a total of eight ARM A53 cores. However, the Snapdragon 625 is fabricated using the 14nm process, and this may have a positive impact on the performance and efficiency of the SoC.
However, the Redmi Note 4 does get a boost in RAM and internal storage, with the higher variant bumping the RAM up to 4GB and the internal storage up to 64GB. The device runs MIUI 8 on top of Android Marshmallow, while the primary camera is a 13-megapixel shooter and the secondary camera is a 5-megapixel unit. There is also a fingerprint sensor at the rear, which can unlock the device from standby mode. The phone has a large 4100mAh battery, which is a marginal upgrade from the 4050mAh unit on the Redmi Note 3.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 will take on the recently launched Honor 6X, the Coolpad Cool 1 and the Moto G4 Plus, with similar features and pricing. While the Honor 6X runs the Hisilicon Kirin 655 SoC, the Coolpad Cool 1 and Moto G4 Plus run the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 and 617 respectively. However, of these options, only the Redmi Note 4 and Honor 6X come with 64GB internal storage variants, making them stand out for their larger storage.
