Xiaomi Redmi 4A review: A good budget phone for its price
In our review, we said that that Redmi 4A is a capable smartphone for its budget price. It’s compact and easy to use – and delivers on performance and specifications. However, as noted in our review Redmi 4A will face a tough competition from Redmi 3S, which is priced a bit high at Rs 6,999 but sports a metal body and a bigger 4100mAh battery. The phone has a competition in the form of Moto C Plus, which comes with a 4,000mAh battery and runs Android 7.0 Nougat out-of-the-box. Moto C Plus is priced at Rs 6,999, and is exclusive to Flipkart.
Xiaomi has recently started selling its Redmi 4 through offline retail channels. Launched in India last month at Rs 6,999, Redmi 4 was initially made available though Amazon and Mi.com.
