Xiaomi Redmi 4A and Redmi Note 4 will be up for pre-order on Mi.com at 12 noon today. Xiaomi has adopted this pre-ordering tactic for its popular Redmi smartphones. The Chinese smartphone maker notes that pre-ordered devices will ship within five business days, and you can add 1 to 2 products per pre-order. The other key thing to keep in mind with pre-ordering the phones on Mi.com is that consumers do not have cash on delivery as a payment option. They will need to pay the entire amount online while placing an order, and it can be cancelled before the phone starts shipping as well. The entry-level Xiaomi Redmi 4A is priced at Rs 5,999. It gets a 5-inch IPS LCD screen with HD resolution (720p) and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor coupled with 2GB RAM. The 16GB internal storage is expandable up to 128GB via a microSD card. It features a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. The battery on the Redmi 4A is 3120mAh, and the phone sports a plastic body. It comes in gold, rose gold and dark grey colour options. In our review, we had said the Redmi 4A is a very capable phone for its budget price of Rs 5,999, since the phone doesn't compromise on overall performance, be it daily tasks or camera.
