Xiaomi Redmi Note 4

The Best Selling Redmi Phone Has Got a Better Sibling.

It goes without saying that Redmi Note 3 was one of the best-selling phones for Xiaomi in 2016. The phone basically opened up the sub-15k Indian smartphone market and sold about 36 lakh units in one year alone, which is a testament to how popular the device was. Now the company is following up with the Redmi Note 4, which tries to overcome some of the shortcomings of the Redmi Note 3 and bring in some additional specs. We’ve been playing with the device for a few weeks now and this is what we think.

Design-wise, there are subtle but important changes that sets the Redmi Note 4 apart from its predecessor. The back looks more refined due to the metal design and clean anodised aluminium separation lines. The tapered edges make the phone look slimmer despite being just 0.2mm thinner than the Redmi Note 3 and seamlessly blends with the front, thanks to the 2.5D curved glass that protects the display panel.
