Design

The improvements start from the design itself. The Redmi cảnh báo 3 came clad in metal, but didn’t really rock our boat in terms of looks. The note 4 changes that, not drastically we admit, but enough to improve the in-hand feel quite a bit.

The addition of a 2.5 chiều curved glass on the fascia, & chamfered edges on the side make the new phone seem much more premium in terms of look và feel. We also appreciate the trắng bezels on our gold unit (the gold Redmi lưu ý 3 bore the same gold colour on the fascia too). Yet another kiến thiết aspect of the Redmi note 4 worth noting is that the speaker has now been moved to the bottom, next to the micro-USB port. If you remember, the chú ý 3’s speaker was placed at the rear, resulting in the audio getting muffled when the device was kept on a flat surface. While you may not be able to differentiate the chú ý 3 and cảnh báo 4 from a distance, the thiết kế differences are enough for us to lớn count them as a big plus.

Display

The new phone sticks khổng lồ the same 5.5-inch FHD IPS display used by the predecessor, và it’s quite capable in terms of most parameters, including colour reproduction, sharpness, cảm biến response, sunlight legibility and viewing angles. As usual, you can tweak display output đầu ra to suit you preferences, & there’s a night mode for more comfortable reading after dark too.

Cameras

Moving on lớn the snappers, the Redmi chú ý 4 actually drops the megapixel count khổng lồ 13 (in comparison lớn 16MP on the predecessor). On the front is the same 5MP shooter as before. Don’t get disappointed with the reduction in megapixels though, as the Redmi cảnh báo 4 is a far more accomplished shooter than the older model.

The lưu ý 4 can take vivid và crisp shots in daylight, và even the low light shots aren’t half bad. If we were khổng lồ nitpick, we’d say that shots from the Redmi chú ý 4 can look a tad oversaturated in some cases, & there’s some softness visible when you magnify the images substantially. There’s no tự động HDR mode, & HDR processing takes a little bit of time, but switching on this mode improves image chất lượng subtly well, correcting saturation & highlighting the darker areas nicely. Overall, most casual users should be pleased with the image unique – both from the primary, as well as the selfie shooters.
