Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 launched in India with Snapdragon 625, starting at Rs. 9999 (Update: First sale)

Just as expected, Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Note 4 in India running on the Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor with several memory options. The base model with 2GB RAM and 32GB onboard storage starts at Rs. 9999.

It packs a similar 5.5-inch 1080p IPS display as the Redmi Note 3 but runs on the SD625 instead of Snapdragon 650. The 14nm process used to manufacture the Snapdragon 625 makes it more efficient and less prone to heating issues. On the software side, we have MIUI 8 running on top of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. For photos, you have a 13MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture and a 5MP front camera as well.

It has a soft matte finished metal body with chamfered edges, a fingerprint sensor on the back and 2.5D curved glass in front to protect the display. It has a hybrid SIM card slot, so you can expand storage but then a SIM card slot would have to be sacrificed.
