this is my first redmi device. 8th smartphone and 6th android. in terms of price this is third highest,
but this is the most beautiful most customizable ui and some outstanding features.
Qualcomm snapdragon 625 rocks, battery is best in class under 18k i think only lenovo p2 is better back up than this one. i bought 32gb /3gb variant.
camera is better than note 3 but if you are camera buddy than increase your budget 2k and buy honor 6x.but for a normal person and for a normal selfie taker person wouldn't disappointed about camera. low light photography improved very much. note 3 might having 16 mp camera but 13 mp note 4 camera is way better and the difference of pics easily shows. video recording is ok but mic quality is awesome. dont get overexite avoylut slow motion recording its just an entry level slow motion recording.
dual apps and second space is one of the most special feature of miui according to me. the second best ui in android(cynogen/oxygen hold rank 1)
display quality very nice
sound is way better than note 3 and placement of speaker in the bottom looks premium.
now i directly tell you pros and cons

now i tell you why you should buy redmi note 4(pros)
customizable
battery back up
decent sound quality
made in india
custom roms, accessories flooding
nought update
no heating yes no heating issue while playing heavy games thanks to finfet technology
vr support
why you shouldn't buy redmi note4
hybrid sim just hate that technology
nfc unsupported
fast charging unsupported
complicated ui for those who used their phone only for calling surfing texting this ui is not for you.
decent camera but i previously mention if your first priority is camera than opt honor 6x.
verdict: at ₹10999 redmi note 4 is surely best in class many phones may be beat them in on functionality but in terms of head to head with in 14 k this is the best.
All rounder one.
