I recently bought the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (4 GB RAM with 64 GB memory) for $210 (13,500 INR). Considering other phones with the same specifications, this was a steal deal. This was my first experience with a Xiaomi device and I must say that there are reasons why the brand is called ‘Apple’ of China.
Let’s quickly have a look at the Pros and Cons of the phone:
Pros: • Once you’re logged in to your MI account, all the messages and call logs will appear on your phone just like you left it with your last Xiaomi device. • The in-built apps like Cleaner, Security Compass, Notes work like a charm. • The battery easily lasts for 1.5 days with mixed usage. • It has great customization options. You can even flip the placements of buttons (multi-tasking on the right and back on the left or vice versa) or turn their lights off • Octa-Core Snapdragon 625 SoC works flawlessly in most of the situations. I had a good experience playing Asphalt 8.
Cons: • It still uses micro USB when the whole world is adopting USB Type C. • It takes a while (around 2.5 hours) to charge the battery from scratch.
