Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime review: Fancy on a budget

25 November 2016
Redmis, Redmis everywhere. The Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime is the top-specced one of the forth generation, which so far consists of three phones (remember, the Redmi 4 and 4a were announced alongside the 4 Prime).

          In 2015 i buy redmi 2 (2015), 2 years later (2017) the phone suddenly dead, cant turn it on anymore, then i buy this redmi 4 prime, 1 year later (now) the charging port is broken (cant charge this phone battery). Terrible build quality, not reliable, only good on paper specification, i'll sell this phone and buy other phone from well known and reliable brand, no more xiaomi, and wont recommend it to anyone

                          Still missing OLED/AMOLED display. Hope LCD panel will be replaced by OLED in Redmi 5.

                                So after reading this and many other reviews i bought this phone. It's simply superb.

                                Pros
                                Great battery life
                                Compact size (my preference)
                                Good chipset
                                Good aux sound quality
                                Great build

                                Cons
                                Decent but not great camera
                                Display is okay ( I'm spoilt by my previous AMOLED)

                                (The screen glass is also pretty decent despite not being gorilla glass and is fine for protecting against everyday scratches )


                                However every time i remember the price all the cons seem very small

                                      Phone has gorila glass so it is better than most phones.
