Design and Display
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X understandably looks a lot like the original Redmi Note 4. It retains the solid full metal unibody design. The construction is pretty impressive for a smartphone at this price, but that is no surprise with Xiaomi. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X is virtually the same in size and weight as the first device at 8.5 mm and 171 g respectively.
It rocks a large 5.5-inch IPS display with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This boasts Full HD resolution for high pixel density of slightly over 400 pixels per inch. Images should come out sharp here.
Camera
The camera department is one of those that have been tweaked. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X loses the Samsung S5K3L8 sensor on the back and comes instead with a Sony IMX258 sensor. Significantly similar results should still be expected. The 13MP shooter is actually more likely to deliver better images. The selfie camera has a resolution of 5 megapixels.
Hardware and Software
Like the Redmi Note 4, this one also uses an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 – the international model, that is. Units for the Chinese market pack a 10-core MediaTek Helio X20 chip.
RAM and onboard storage differ between models: 3GB/32GB or 4GB/64GB. You can expand storage via one of the SIM slots. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X boots Xiaomi’s MIUI 8.1 software based on Android Marshmallow.
Other Features
Abundant power is still on offer here, with a 4,100mAh Li-Polymer battery onboard. The dual SIM Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X supports 4G LTE connectivity, although bands differ between markets. Bluetooth feature has received an upgrade from version 4.1 to 4.2. You still get the IR blaster, a feature that is becoming less and less available on devices these days.
Pricing and Availability
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X is not yet available in Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X Price in Nigeria is expected to range from 61,500 Naira to 150,000 Naira depending on your location in Nigeria.
