Flipkart starts registration.
By Dileep Thekkethil
BENGALURU: A few hours after Flipkart closed the sale of Redmi 1S, it announced the arrival of Redmi Note 4G, which will go on sale for Rs. 9,999 ($158), starting from December 30th.
Xiaomi had to discontinue the sale of the 3G version of Redmi Note due to a ruling of the Delhi High Court banning the Chinese manufacturer from selling MediaTek powered smartphones in India due to a patent issue with Ericsson.
The new 4G version of Redmi Note, unlike all other Xiaomi smartphones released in India, is a single SIM smartphone and is powered by a Snapdragon 400 processor, which has a superior graphics rendering capability in addition to 4G LTE support. The earlier 3G model of Redmi Note had MediaTek octa-core processor that lagged while playing high-quality videos and graphics heavy games.
The registration for the Redmi Note 4G has already started in Flipkart and it is mandatory for buyers to register in order to participate in the flash sale. The registration window will be open till Dec. 29th midnight.
As of now, Xiaomi has not commented on the number of units that will go on sales but, going by the trends, Xiaomi will stock at least 50,000 units of Redmi Note for the upcoming sale.
The new Redmi Note 4G is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8928 processor and Adreno 305 GPU coupled with 2 GB RAM. Like its 3G variant, this smartphone also has a 5.5 inch HD IPS display with 1280 x 720 pixels. Coming to the camera department the device, it has a 13 MP rear camera with LED flash and a 5 MP front camera for clear selfies.
Redmi Note 4G has an inbuilt storage capacity of 8 GB that can be expanded up to 32 GB via external microSD card.
The device is backed up by a 3,100 mAh battery, sufficient enough for running the smartphone for a whole day. In our review of the Redmi Note 3G we couldn’t find the heating issue, which has been prevalent in the other models of Xiaomi smartphones.
Redmi Note 4G runs on Android 4.4 optimised with MIUI version 5 on top, upgradable to MIUI v6 early next year.
