Reviews for the Xiaomi Redmi 4

Xiaomi Redmi 4 review
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
Xiaomi's on a winning streak with them Redmis and the Redmi 4 is another in a long list of super affordable 5-inchers that cover the basics without breaking the bank. Love our flagships as we might, not everyone (definitely not everyone's mom) needs the latest hardware or has money to burn, and that's where the Redmi 4 comes in.

Among the several entry-level smartphones, the Redmi 4 shines out loud. There’s no doubt the phone is excellent value for money, hence, the tagline budget king justifies. So far, Redmi 4 takes over the competition with the battery and performance. The rear camera is another thing that comes decent in the package. Wrapping it up, this is the best smartphone currently in the market.

Yeah and it appears to be a conscious move from Xiaomi to use similar design language. The more curved edges and metal finish should also theoretically provide a better grip.

Xiaomi Redmi 4 review: This budget phone is ahead of the competition
Source: The Indian Express English Archive.org version
Xiaomi Redmi 4 is for those users, who want long battery life, and a phone that works just right without paying over Rs 10,000. I’d say this phone has the advantage over Redmi 4A because the battery will last you much more, and for Indian users this is a crucial factor to keep in mind.

84% Xiaomi Redmi 4 Review: The New Budget Hero!
Source: Tech PP English Archive.org version
We think Xiaomi has again waved its budget magic wand and has another winner on its hands. The interesting part, however, is that the Redmi 4 faces stiff competition not only from the likes of the Lenovo K6 Power and the Moto E3 Power, but has also got to contend with its own siblings (the Redmi 4A, the Redmi Note 3 and the Redmi Note 4).

80% Xiaomi Redmi 4 review: High on performance, low on price
Source: Gadgets Now English Archive.org version
At a starting price of Rs 6,999, the Xiaomi Redmi 4 is definitely a well-rounded budget smartphone. Features like fingerprint scanner, metallic body and a large 4,100mAh battery all make it a value-for-money device. If you're looking at alternatives, you can go for Moto G which offers all the essential features but is a bit expensive as comapred to the Xiaomi Redmi 4. The Moto G is available at of Rs 11,999.

The Xiaomi Redmi 4 is an iterative update, which still makes for a good budget smartphone. The camera is improved this time, and the phone is a good buy at the budget range. Of course, it's no "upgrade" for a Redmi 3s/3s Prime user.

Xiaomi Redmi 4 Review

So the sub-10K category which was currently ruled by the Redmi 3S Prime can gracefully be passed on to the Redmi 4. Priced at Rs 8,999, Xiaomi has done necessary improvements while keeping the rest of pillars almost similar. Compared to the Redmi 3S, you get a slightly better processor, a better camera, a slightly more compact design and a new matte black colour variant. If you are looking for a sub 10K device and Redmi Note 4 is too big for you, this one is meant for you.

Source: Fone Arena English Archive.org version
There’s little doubt that the Redmi series has changed the definition of a budget smartphone. Xiaomi’s budget line singlehandedly changed market expectations and has truly disrupted the segment. The Redmi 4 feels like the culmination of several years of experimentation and absolutely nails the formula.
