As the name suggests, the upcoming smartphone is the successor to the highly popular Redmi Note 3. Recently, the Redmi Note 4 was listed on Amazon India. The listing showed two variants — 16GB storage with 2GB RAM priced at Rs 21,491, and 64GB storage with 4GB RAM priced at Rs 27,055. But these were basically imports, and the official price tags are expected to be much lower.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 was launched in China back in August last year. In terms of design, the Redmi Note 4 look a lot similar to its predecessor. The one major difference however is the presence of a 2.5D curved glass on the front, which adds to the premium-ness of the device. There’s still a unibody metal design, and Mi 5-like chamfered edges.
