There’s also a 3GB RAM version with 32GB storage at Rs 10,999. The most expensive is the 4GB RAM+64GB storage version at Rs 12,999.
The phone will be available on Flipkart and Mi.com from January 23 at 12 pm. There’s is no pre-registration needed for this phone, and it looks like Xiaomi is not going for a flash sale this time. Xiaomi is also introducing a matte black colour version of the phone this time, along with the grey and gold colour options.
Xiaomi, which has seen sales dip in its home market, is eyeing India as the next big space for its growth. The company claims it crossed $1 billion in revenue in India for the year 2016. For Xiaomi, its budget phones have done well in India; the Redmi series which includes Redmi Note 3, Redmi 3S, Redmi 3S Prime has managed to generate a lot of interest, especially for online buyers.
A large battery life has emerged as the USP of the Xiaomi Redmi Note series, and the same continues with the new Redmi Note 4. The newer phone was launched in China last year, and comes with a 4,100 mAh battery; its predecessor had a 4050 mAh battery. Redmi Note 4 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, which uses the new 14nm FinFET technology. According to Xiaomi, the processor is more power efficient and ensure a better battery performance, compared to the earlier phone which had a more 28nm Snapdragon 650 processor. The GPU is Adreno 506 with this smartphone.
Xiaomi says the new Redmi Note 4 performs 25 per cent better on the battery front compared to the earlier phone. In terms of specifications, the Redmi Note 4 has a 5.5-inch full HD display (1920×1080 pixels) with 2.5D arc glass design, a 13MP primary camera, and 5MP front camera. The rear camera uses a Sony CMOS sensor with 1.12 micron pixel size for better low-light performance. It also supports PDAF, and has an LED flash and f/2.0 aperture
This is the first Xiaomi phone which has a full 2.5D curved glass on the front. There’s also a fingerprint scanner at the back, and the phone runs with Android Marshmallow and MIUI 8.0.
Xiaomi says it is testing Android Nougat 7.0 with the device as well, and the beta version of this will be ready to download for those who are interested, once the phone goes on sale.
This will be a dual-SIM smartphone with 4G VoLTE smartphone. It has a hybrid dual-SIM slot with microSD included in it. The Redmi Note 4 has dual speakers at the bottom, instead of speakers at the back like the older phone.
India will get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 instead, which is not a bad offering. Currently, the Lenovo P2 is the only smartphone in the market to offer the same. The chipset is clocked at 2.0GHz and features an octa-core setup on a 14nm manufacturing process that brings in 35 percent battery life savings over the older Snapdragon 617 chipset. Another design difference is that Chinese model features an all metal construction while the model in India features coloured plastic caps at the top and bottom ends.
Coupled with the power-friendly CPU is an Adreno 506 GPU and 4GB of RAM combined with 64GB of internal storage. The internal storage can be expanded using the hybrid SIM tray with cards of up to 128GB in capacity.
It has a Full HD (1080×1920 pixels) IPS LCD display with a 2.5D Glass screen to protect it. Coming to the cameras we have a 13MP f2.0 CMOS sensor on the back with a 5-piece, 77 degree wide-angle lens. The module packs in Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) and uses an accompanying dual tone flash for low light photography. On the front is a 5MP CMOS sensor with an f/2.0 aperture but is a fixed-focus set up.
As for the connectivity options, we get support for 4G/LTE bands, Wi-Fi 802.1.1 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.1, GPS, GLONASS and Beidou. A micro-USB 2.0 OTG capable port sits at the bottom end for charging and data transfers. There’s also a handy fingerprint reader on the back for unlocking the smartphone.
The battery is a 4,100mAh unit which is small bump up from the previous one on the Redmi Note 3 from 4,050mAh, but keeping the low power CPU in mind, this should see better battery life compared to the older model.
