The Redmi 4 has been launched in India. Though it is called the Redmi 3S successor, there is not a big leap when it comes to hardware upgradation. The price however is quite tempting – Redmi 4 price in India starts from Rs. 6,999.

Hello Gogi sir,
I’m vishal and I just wanted to know whether I should pick lenovo p2(3gb) or honor 6x (4gb)as I have ordered both @13000/- and now I’m confused. I have to pick one only.
So all the experienced users pls help
Gogi bro, when your Redmi 4 full review will be up? am waiting for it.
Will be up tomorrow, I am working on it.
Thanks bro!
I want to buy 2gb varient coz i am not a multitasking user. Is it ok? , I don’t want to spend rs 2000/- more only for 1 gb more ram and for 16 gb more stoeage. Can any one advise me for this.
For your kind of usage 2GB is more than enough. Even on 2GB you can multitask to a very good extent.
Same thought buddy!!
Thanks for kind advise.
Gogi Ji redmi note 3 is currently showing available (2GB/16 ROM) in Flipkart, should one buy it over Redmi Note 4?. Your valuable suggestions Pls.
Gogi, 2GB ram with finger print ?
This one I have is 3GB/32GB, but 2GB is more than enough. All depends on which is easily available.
2g ram for Xiaomi phone is very less
apps will be closed automatically frequently as we will open a new app.
You are right at least 3gb ram is considered as good in Xiaomi phones…
Most of the people in this forum recommend to go for Note4, but we ‘ve to keep the ease of use in mind too, With a 5 inch screen, it is very easy to use with one hand. Imagine you are travelling or searching on google on the go, 5 inch screen will be always handy
bro is 2gb version of redmi4 have fpsensor ?
Yes! All the versions of redmi 4 have fingerprint reader!
Yureka? I am surprised to see people still interested in purchasing outdated products.
It may be outdated raj, but when i asked people who still using the phone they are satisfied and recommending the phone. Can u provide any phones under 7000 range?
Sorry… Can u suggest any phones?
Agree 🙂
Thank you Ranjan… is there any suggestions from you?
After review I just want to know that weather redmi 4 with 3gb,32 GB is good @8999 or redmi note 4 with 2gb,32 GB @9999 rs , which one is more better?? Thanks
Redmi note 4 is better.
Should I go for redmi 4 or redmi note 4…first time buyer..not a heavy phone user
Still go for note 4 if u can afford .
One thing is for sure…Redmi phones still lags a notch behind in terms of build quality. Hopefully they might improve in their future Redmi series launch.
Compared to what? In that price range.
I am looking for a removable battery, two sim slot phone under 7000. Any suggestions leo?
galaxy On7 pro suits you better .
It has got everything you need.
Thank you sankalp….
May be compared to moto g
Which phone is good to buy under 7000? Lenovo vibe k5 plus or yu yureka plus. anyone help me?
Do not even think about Yureka Plus… its a waste … go for Vibe if you like it.. or else look for any other option.
Thank you deepak… can you suggest any other option where you are your Friends using or used?
Where u r getting yureka in 7k?
Bhai offline 5,500 me mil rha tha yureka.
Go for Motorola e3 power
Moto e3 power is best.
e3 power has non removable battery and Mediatek pros so, i have to stuck with these to models. Any suggestions?
Moto g4 plus.
I mean G4 Play.
moto g4 priced around 8k…
Those looking for 4A follow. Redmi 4A (Gold, 16GB) http://amzn.to/2pKPv9p
I was able to add to cart at 6:25. I wonder if it is a bug in amazon or what, the sale is tomorrow and able to add now! How?
But can’t checkout!
This phone will be even more difficult to get than 3s and 4a.
Waiting for Xiaomi to launch MI6 in India. This is basic phone, good for price sensitive & low end users. For someone already using SD 625/425, upgrade to Redmi 4 doesn’t make sense.
MI has to seriously think of improving their front camera & provide dual rear cameras. Lot of market is been lost out to Oppo/Vivo/Gionee.
Not at all. Xiaomi gets sold out completely in few minutes.
Is this phone as slippery as redmi 3s. Is the screen like 3s
Does 2GB varient have Fingrprint?? pls rply
Yes it has.
All variants came up with FPS.
Yes, all variants have fingerprint sensor.
Confused between 2GB version or 3GB? This is my first Xioami phone (4G phone also) going to buy. I am a moderate user only. Which one suits me? Required your suggestions.
Get 3gb 32gb, if you are medium user (e.g. some games, continuous surfing throgh chrome, apps, youtube and takes pictures with camera)..
If you don’t do all these then 2gb 16gb is enough
2GB ram is more than enough for a moderate user .
Go for 3GB variant. You will definitely use it for next 1.5 year.
In terms of looks It’s a exact copy of Redmi note 4…just the size is smaller due to 5 inch screen.
Well, Sachin11 you must give a second look to Redmi Note 4….
tell me the diffrence if you have taken second look.
Is fingerprint sensor available in all variants ?
Hi Sandeep,
Yes sir the Fingerprint sensor is available in all the variants
Dear Gogi,
Please also mention SAR value and camera sensor used in Redmi 4.
Whether images are better than Redmi 3s or Redmi note 4?
Its not a uniqu model, there is no new features?they have to add front flash, now androind 8 is coming..they are giving only android 6.
Bhai, what else u expecting @7k? Metal body, finger print scanner , decent front and back camera, good 4100maH battery, SD 435.. I think its more than enough.
yes you are right @Sanjay
Hi gogi,
does it support fast charging??
shinaagam
Shinaagam,
Although SD 435 supports fast charging, it’s been disabled in Redmi 4. So officially it doesn’t support fast charging.
if even after an year redmi 3s is not available…then this cell will not be available easily for an year or 2….so
Despite Xiaomi now claimed they ready 1 handset per second
what are the differences between this one and 4A??
Snapdragon 435 instead of 425 in 4a.metallic body with fingerprint sensor.
Much better than Moto C and Moto C+ which are in similar price range with 1GB/16GB.
It means , a redmi 3s prime owner should not upgrade to redmi 4 (3gb/32gb) varient.
Everything is same.
Good unboxing. Looking forward to the full review.. Just waiting to see the performance improvement over SD430. Wondering If Xiaomi Will Ever Stop This Flash Sale Model And Just Give Everyone The Chance To Buy In A Good, Less Sucky Way?
