Xiaomi Redmi 4 review: Blue-plate special

05 July 2017
There's affordable, there's dirt cheap and then there's the Xiaomi Redmi lineup. The latest to come out of Xiaomi's bargain bin is the Redmi 4, or what’s known in China as the Redmi 4X - just Xiaomi’s naming scheme. The important thing is that it's running an international ROM right out of the box, complete with full support for Google services.

        The Xiaomi Redmi 4X is the best phone I ever owned. I used it now for over 2 years and must upgrade now... But nothing compared with this phone!!!
        I wished I had brought a 32/64 internal memory instead of a 16g. This was my only problem!!!
        I love taking pictures and it compares very good to my friends Sony and iPhone's.
        The battery life is excellent and last after more than 2 years longer than a day.
        Great work Xiaomi...
        ❤️

              Completed a year of using this. Still runs 2 days on normal use. One and a half under heavy use. Gets regular updates, too. Not of the OS, but just security patches and MIUI, which I am happy with. If you don't need to showboat, this is all the phone one would ever need. Its successor, the Redmi 5 has only become larger, heavier and gets a smaller battery. The Redmi 6 doesn't even used an SD processor. All Xiaomi needed to do update this phone is slightly trim the top and bottom bezels, retain this 5-inch 16:9 screen, put in the latest SD 4xx or 6xx processor, put in USB C, perhaps enable it with FHD and call it a Redmi 7. I came to MIUI after 3 years of plain Android (JellyBean to Lollipop). And after one year of MIUI in this, I tried Android Oreo on a Sony flagship. Though I loved the hardware, I found plain Android tiresome after MIUI. I returned the Sony and am happy to be back to the Redmi 4. I wish small screens -- 4.3 to 5-inch (16:9) notchless phones were still made.

                Now Quick Charging is available after a system upgrade. Please check it.. Seems RedMi 4X is the best budget phone now..

                        Miui 9.xx (whatever= is not reliable, I switched versions to get errors removed such as problems with screen rotation or black screen, kind of worked. Question is what is next? I need a phone that works not one where I can constantly update my understanding of current phone technology. Android, apple os, blackberry os, windows 10 worked ok for me, Miui does not.

                              In call sound quality is questionable at best. I can hear others well, but my call mates are complaining about my voice come and go.
                              This is so disappointing for an otherwise great device.
                              If this isn't a problem for you, go buy it. For me, it's a deal breaker.

                              So, why exactly telephony test has been left out...?
