While using Smartphone’s First of all we have choose right mobile with budget rate searching lots of sites to find there right mobile in right price. Then we bought the mobile all features were adopted useful to us. That’s why mobile has became a part of our life in now a days Let us discuss new entry of Xiaomi Redmi 4 mobile features….

The Xiaomi Redmi 4 has finally been launched in India, and looking at it, I can’t help but marvel at the evolution of budget phones. It’s no surprise that the budget segment in India is the most lucrative for Smartphone makers, and Xiaomi’s wildly successful Redmi series is testament to that. With last year’s Redmi 3S becoming the highest online-selling Smartphone in India, the onus falls on the Redmi 4 to carry forward the baton. And after a couple of weeks with the phone, I think it’s more than up to the task.

Design and display: curves all around

The Xiaomi Redmi 4 piggybacks on some of its predecessor’s design elements, with a solid metal body that feels surprisingly well made. Most noticeably, Xiaomi has used curved 2.5D glass for the display, making for a much sleeker look than the Redmi 3S. The corners also appear more rounded, and the reforming of the loudspeaker from the back panel to the bottom edge gives it a sleeker look.

My black Redmi 4 review unit made a refreshing change from the usual gold, and I found the matte finish rear to be pretty resilient to scratches. The back panel is also where you’ll find the primary camera, LED flash and fingerprint sensor, which is located within easy reach of your index finger. Unlike the Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime (review), where the former didn’t feature a fingerprint sensor, all units of the Redmi 4 are identical save for their RAM and storage capacities.

Cameras: surprisingly versatile

I found the Redmi 4 to be very versatile for a budget shooter, locking focus and capturing images in a jiffy. Daylight shots were impressive across the board, with natural colors and plenty of detail. Grain does tend to creep in when you shoot indoors and in low light, but results are surprisingly usable. The front camera can also manage a decent selfie – if you take it in good lighting.

Software: new MIUI, old Android

It’s unfortunate that the Redmi 4 still runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow at a time when even more affordable devices are launching with Nougat. However, Xiaomi has said there will be a beta ROM running Nougat available for Redmi 4 users when the device goes on sale.

Performance: goes the distance

The Redmi 4 is powered by the capable Snapdragon 435 SoC, an octa-core SoC clocked at 1.4GHz. Our unit came with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage (around 24GB available out of the box). The microSD card slot supports expansion up to 128GB. The other configurations include 2GB + 16GB and 4GB + 64GB. In my opinion, the 3GB + 32GB model hits the sweet spot, and should cater to the needs of most budget phone users.
