The Redmi Note 4 is one of the best phones you can currently buy for under ₹15,000. Whether you're looking to see what's new with the phone or are interested in learning more about the features it offers, these are top eight things you need to know about the Redmi Note 4.
Premium design: The Redmi Note 4 has an all-metal chassis that belies its price tag. The back of the phone now has gently curved sides that aren't as pronounced as those on the Redmi Note 3, and the display offers 2.5D curved glass, making for better in-hand feel. For a phone sold in the budget segment, the Redmi Note 4 definitely looks premium.
Powered by Snapdragon 625: The Indian variant of the Redmi Note 4 is powered by a Snapdragon 625. The 14nm node shrink allows for much better energy efficiency. The Redmi Note 4 handles everyday tasks with ease, and you won't notice any issues when playing visually-intensive games.
More memory and storage options: The Redmi Note 4 is available in three storage variants, offering up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage.
Rear fingerprint sensor: Xiaomi has a decent track record with fingerprint scanners on its budget phones, and that holds true for the Redmi Note 4 as well. The rear sensor is quick to authenticate, and you don't need to wake up the display for it to unlock the phone.
New 13MP camera with PDAF: The included 13MP camera has larger pixels and a new sensor, and it does a much better job of taking images in both well-lit and low-light conditions. Macro shots also come out looking great, with accurate colors and a lot of detail. If your primary consideration is camera quality, then you won't be let down by the Redmi Note 4.
Huge battery, but no fast charging: The Redmi Note 4 has an energy-efficient SoC and a slightly larger 4100mAh battery. You'll easily get a day and a half's worth of usage out of a full charge, and power users will not have to worry about the phone running out of juice before the end of the day. But the lack of fast charging means that the phone takes nearly two hours to fully charge. That is a drawback, but the great battery life makes up for the lack of fast charging.
