Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 3 back in February last year (in India), and in just over 10 months the company managed to sell over 3.6 Million Redmi Note 3 units in the country. Now, that’s quite an achievement, one must say.

Continuing the legacy of the Redmi Note 3, the Apple of East has launched its new mid-range warrior, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 in India a couple of weeks ago. Given the kind of success it’s predecessor had received, the Redmi Note 4 has some big shoes to fill — which will only happen if there’s a significant upgrade on the whole. That exactly brings us to the question: what has changed from Redmi Note 3 to the Redmi Note 4?
Well, here’s the answer.
Subtle design changes
For the most part, the Redmi Note 4 carries the same design language we have seen on its predecessor. Having said that, there are a few subtle changes (or improvements, if we must say) as far as design is concerned. For instance, the speaker grill (remember the muffled sound produced by Redmi Note 3 when placed on a flat surface?) is now located at the bottom of the phone close to the Micro-USB port. Also, the back has slightly more curved edges which offers a better in-hand feel.

At 165g, the Redmi Note 4 is on the heavier side (in comparison to its predecessor). However, thanks to the proper weight distribution that won’t be a problem.
