Today, Xiaomi launched the Redmi 4 in India. Available in three variants, the device is priced at Rs 6,999, Rs 8,999 and Rs 10,999. While all three variants are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 435 SoC, the difference is in the RAM and internal storage. The base variant comes with 2GB of RAM, and 16GB internal storage, the mid variant comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage, while the most expensive variant comes with 4GB of RAM, and 64GB internal storage.

The moment you lay your eyes on the Redmi 4, two things strike you. One, it looks premium, and two it looks like a carbon copy of the Redmi Note 4. Ask Xiaomi, and it seems to be a deliberate move on the part of the company. The Redmi Note 4 set the standards on what an affordable smartphone should look and feel like, and the new Redmi 4 carries forward that tradition.
