Review: Xiaomi Mi 4

Price: Rs 20,000 (Flipkart.com)

After taking the Indian mobile market by storm by starting a trend of offering mobile phones with premium features at affordable prices, Xiaomi has offered the Mi 4, which is basically upping the ante from the hugely successful Mi 3. This high-end phone features a Snapdragon quad-core CPU with 3 GB RAM, 5” Full HD IPS screen, and 13 MP camera with up to 4K video recording. Xiaomi has been generous enough to send across a review unit, therefore, a review was in order. Do the high-end specs really translate into a pleasant smartphone experience? Read on.

Review: Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G

Price: Rs 10,000 (Flipkart.com)
Xiaomi has for long had a policy of selling only one handset at a time in India, probably to prevent cannibalisation within its own camp. The company has discontinued the Redmi Note a week ago, but is now selling its replacement – Redmi Note 4G, along with the smaller and previously discontinued Redmi 1S, probably because it seems to have realised that these are two completely different devices at different price points for different demographics and will not hinder the sale of one another. The phablet Redmi Note 4G may look the same as the Redmi Note, but the internals are different. While the older model was a dual SIM handset with a MediaTek octo-core CPU, the newer model has a single SIM but with 4G capability, and features a quad-core Snapdragon CPU. At a price point of Rs 10,000, which is a thousand rupees more than the previous version, let’s find out if the Redmi Note 4G is really worth the extra premium. Please note that this review may appear like a copy-paste of the Redmi Note review, because it is partially true, where the two devices have the same features.
