Xiaomi has sent out early invites for a launch event in New Delhi on January 19, and the Chinese company is expected to launch the Redmi Note 4 in the country. The highlight of the smarpthone is its metal build and deca-core SoC, though the company may launch another variant in the country.
To recall, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 was launched in China back in August. It was made available in two variants - 2GB of RAM/ 16GB inbuilt storage model was priced at CNY 899 (approximately Rs. 9,000), while the 3GB of RAM/ 64GB storage model was priced at CNY 1,199 (approximately Rs. 12,000). We can expect Redmi Note 4 price in India to be roughly the same. The smartphone was launched in Gold, Grey, and Silver colours. It bears a fingerprint scanner on the rear panel.
The dual-SIM (Micro+Nano) Redmi Note 4 runs MIUI 8 based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and sports a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) 2.5D curved glass display with a pixel density of 401ppi. It is powered by a deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 coupled with Mali-T880 MP4 GPU.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with PDAF (phase detection autofocus), an f/2.0 aperture, and dual-tone LED flash. The 5-megapixel front camera sports an 85-degree wide angle lens. The smartphone supports expandable storage via microSD card (up to 128GB) in a hybrid dual-SIM card configuration.
Apart from the fingerprint scanner, the Redmi Note 4 also sports an infrared sensor. Connectivity options include GPRS/ EDGE, 3G, 4G with VoLTE, Bluetooth, GPS, Micro-USB, and Glonass. The smartphone is powered by a 4100mAh battery, measures 151x76x8.35mm, and weighs 175 grams.
In India, Xiaomi is expected to introduce the phone with a Qualcomm processor, since it is not allowed to sell MediaTek processor phones here due to a patent dispute with Ericsson. Earlier a Redmi Note 4X smartphone was leaked from China, which runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with MIUI 8.1 on top, and features 4GB RAM coupled with 64G storage. The processor on this phone is supposed to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 processor, although this device also has a 5.5-inch Full HD display.
