Foreplay
Last year in March Xiaomi announced the Redmi Note 3, and it’s not a mystery that it gained a huge success in India as well as at a globe level .
Now to rewrite their success story (maybe), Xiaomi in August 2016 announced the Redmi Note 4,the successorof Redmi note 3. The Note 4 is selling in China for about 899 yuan ($135 converted), for a version packing 2GB RAM and 16GB of onboard
storage. A slightly more powerful variant, with 3GB RAM and 32GB of storage, will sell for 1,199 yuan (approximately $180).
Design
The Redmi Note 4 is exactly identical to the previously launched Redmi Note 3 with some very minor difference. Maybe the phone designers were very lazy to spend time and effort on a successor device. Personally we think Xiaomi should have given a second thought on the design. Anyway the Redmi Note 4 has a metal back panel with a brushed finish, although the top and bottom are plastic for the signal receiver. The sides have a curve which make it easier to hold. There is a 13 MegaPixel shooter at the back with dual-tone LED flash. It also has fingerprint sensor at the back which can save up to 5 fingerprints.

The Indian Variant has the same specification as the China Variant, the only difference will be the Chipset. As the Supreme Court of India had ordered Xiaomi that they can’t sell their handsets with Mediatek processor in India. So we are excepting the new Redmi Note 4 with be powered with Snapdragon 652 SOC (it’s not confirmed yet).
