Xiaomi Redmi Note 4: Is it really worth the switch from Redmi Note 3?

Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 3 turned out to be one of the best-selling smartphones of the year 2016 in India. The company sold around 3.6 million units which fetched the Apple of East over $1 billion revenue. And, if these numbers don’t convince you that the Redmi Note 3 was (still is) the company’s most successful smartphone, we don’t know what will.

Coming to the point, launching the next iteration of such highly successful phone in itself is a daunting task. Anyway, in an attempt to carry forward the legacy of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, the company had launched its successor, the Redmi Note 4 in India late last month.

Obviously, the smartphone brings along a few changes. In fact, it would be better to call them refinements rather than changes. For example, the Redmi Note 4 has an improved camera (both at the front and back), a slight design change (which is a refinement again), and more RAM and internal storage space.

The biggest change though comes in the form of the chipset. The Redmi Note 4 now packs Snapdragon 625 chipset in comparison to the Redmi Note 3’s Snapdragon 650 SoC. On first glance, this should seem like a downgrade. But, it isn’t if it were not for the graphic intensive gaming. You won’t see much difference in day-to-day tasks whatsoever.

Another big change as our readers pointed out in this article is the downgrade in support for LTE bands. The Redmi Note 3 supported most of the LTE bands in the country whereas its successor supports only Band 3, 5, and 40.
