2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Nice, well-built, polycarbonate body
- Small and light, and therefore easy to use with just one hand
- The rear panel of this phone has a matte finish and offers a good grip
- Nice, vivid display with decent viewing angles, and sunlight legibility - also has a Reading mode which makes colours easier on the eyes
- MIUI is one of the nicer, more refined Android UIs - and comes with useful add-on functionality - such as support for Indic languages, Dual Apps, Second Space, and Quick Ball shortcut button
- Good, reliable overall performance - with no lags when multitasking, or streaming videos and movies - gaming performance is decent too
- The camera app is easy to use, and most modes are accessible with just one tap
- The loudspeaker on the handset is pretty decent and loud enough to fill a small room
- Audio quality via earphones is decent too (earphones don't come bundled though)
- Decent call quality
- Good battery life - easily lasts for over a day with regular use
- Decent charging speed too - takes less than two hours to charge fully
- The Infrared emitter on the Redmi 4A works as a universal remote and lets you control various appliances at home and works well with a variety of set-top boxes and TVs
|
- Good looks with a solid build, plastic unibody design, and a compact feel
- The gentle curves at the edges are a nice upgrade over the Redmi 4A which was more square-ish
- Good display for the price
- MIUI continues to be one of the more well designed Android UIs - it's clean, efficient and has a number of useful add-on apps like Mi Drop, Mi Security (lets you set passcodes on individual apps, set up dual apps or a second space on the device, block SMS senders and more), and Mi Remote
- Decent performance in daily use
- Acceptable cameras given the price point - take good shots in good light, and single-tone LED flash at the back will help you get a little more visibility in low light conditions
- Decent battery life - with the low power usage of the Snapdragon 425 and the frugal HD screen, you can easily get a full day’s use out of the smartphone before needing to charge
- Additionally, the company has taken user feedback and gone with a non-hybrid SIM tray design - there are separate slots for a microSD card and both SIMs, therefore not forcing users to have to forego one or the other
- Overall it's a decent upgrade over the Redmi 4A, and the small changes will help in keeping the phone current - and offer very good value to users looking for a nice entry-level smartphone
|
2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- The rear camera is decent for the price but definitely not the strongest point of the phone - in proper lighting conditions, it can deliver good photos and the colours are well-balanced - but overall details are lacking, low light performance is average, and video recording capability is pretty ordinary too
- The selfie camera is again acceptable for the price, but in low-light conditions, it is slow and struggles to take decent pictures
- The Redmi 4A is a pretty solid phone overall, and a good choice especially for entry-level phone buyers - but it's most tough competition actually comes from its siblings - the Redmi 3S and the Redmi 4 - for just a little more, users can get a better design, a better display, a better Snapdragon 430 series processor, a slightly better camera, and more battery power
|
- Performance is only good for basic use - you will of course need better specs (and a more expensive phone) if you intend to use heavy apps, or play a lot of games
- Camera quality is basic too - again as would be expected at this price point
- No fast charging support
