रेडमी फोन का जबरदस्त आगाज

अब, नोकिया के एक और मजबूत दावेदार के बारे में बात करते हैं, जिसने स्मार्टफोन बाजार को बेहतरीन मूल्य, शानदार डिजाइन और उच्च हार्डवेयर के साथ हिला दिया है। हम बात कर रहे है चीनी स्मार्टफोन निर्माता जियाओमी की |  ये एमआई के रूप में जाना जाता है, पिछले कुछ सालों में, एमआई ने अपने फीचर्स लोडेड स्मार्टफोन्स और कीमतों के साथ खुद को साबित कर दिया है।

रेडमी 4 के 1 मिलियन यूनिट 30 दिनों में भारत में बेचे गये, 45 दिनों में रेडमी नोट 4 की 10 लाख यूनिट, जिसका अर्थ है कि प्रत्येक चार सेकंड में एक फोन बेचा  गया। रेडमी 4 ऑनलाइन बिक्री के मामले में भारत में सबसे ज्यादा बिकने वाला स्मार्टफोन बन चुका  है। एमआई ने यह खुलासा किया कि 2015 में “70 मिलियन से ज्यादा” फोनो की बिक्री की गई थी। एमआई ने पहली बार भारत में वार्षिक आय में 1 अरब डॉलर का बिज़नेस किया।
रेडमी नोट 4 ने बजट स्मार्टफोन श्रेणी को जीत लिया है। हालांकि, नोकिया फोन के आगमन के बाद, नोकिया 6 रेडमी नोट 4  के लिए कड़ी प्रतिस्पर्धा दे रहा है| लेकिन इन दोनों के बीच मूल्य अंतर एक बड़ा कारण है।

अच्छा स्मार्टफोन लेने के लिए निंम्न बातो पर विचार करे |

1 . मूल्य सीमा
2.  प्रदर्शन
3 . डिज़ाइन
4 . ब्रांड
5. ऑफ़लाइन / ऑनलाइन बाजार
6. बिक्री के बाद सपोर्ट और वारंटी
7. ओएस अपडेट और सुरक्षा पैच

नोकिया फोन के आने से पहले, रेडमी ने डिजाइन गेम को बदल दिया है। अधिकांश मध्य-श्रेणी वाले फोन बच्चों के लिए प्लास्टिक के खिलौने की तरह महसूस होते थे। लेकिन रेडमी नोट 4 ने  हर किसी को प्रभावित किया और इसकी जबरदस्त बिक्री इसका प्रमाण है |
इन दो फोनों के बीच चयन करना व्यक्तिगत वरीयता पर निर्भर करता है क्योंकि दोनों फोन प्रीमियम डिजाइन और अच्छी  गुणवत्ता के साथ आते हैं। रेडमी नोट 4 डिजाइन का डिज़ाइन ऐप्पल से थोड़ा प्रेरित है और नोकिया 6 का लुमिया जैसा क्लासिक लगता है।

स्टॉक या कस्टम एंड्रॉइड

स्टॉक एंड्रॉइड के साथ, नोकिया 6 कम हार्डवेयर के साथ भी पूरे दिन के लिए शानदार प्रदर्शन करता है यह ब्लोटेटवेयर मुक्त, एंड्रॉइड के एडवेयर फ्री, स्टॉक अनुभव प्रदान करता है। नोकिया 6 सॉफ्टवेयर अनुभव के क्षेत्र में सब कुछ अच्छे रूप से संभालता है। आपको हर सेटिंग खोजने के लिए संघर्ष करने की आवश्यकता नहीं होगी। नोकिया ने उपयोगकर्ताओं के लिए समय पर एंड्रॉइड अपडेट और सुरक्षा पैच का वादा किया है जो वास्तव में एक विशेष लाभ हैं।
अगर हम रेडमी नोट 4 के बारे में बात करते हैं, तो यह बहुत ही उच्च हार्डवेयर वाला है और विभिन्न अतिरिक्त सुविधाओं की पेश करने करता है, जो आपको विभिन्न एप्लिकेशन इंस्टॉल करने से मिलेगा। रेडमी कस्टम ड्यूल ऐप्स, सेकंड स्पेस, इनबिल्ट वायरस सुरक्षा, बैटरी प्रबंधक, क्लीनर, ऐप अनुमतियां, ब्लैकलिस्ट कॉल और बहुत सारे फीचर्स प्रदान करता है। यदि आप अपने फोन के प्रत्येक पहलू को कस्टमाइज़ करना चाहते हैं तो आपको गूगल प्ले स्टोर से कम से कम 10-20 ऐप्स की आवश्यकता होगी। आप रेडमी नोट 4 में इन सुविधाओं को नकार नहीं सकते हैं|  अधिकतर समय आपको 4 जीबी रैम के बाहर 2 जीबी खाली मिलेगा।

रेडमी नोट 4 अभी भी नोकिया 6 से आगे है क्योंकि यह गेमर्स के लिए एक बेहतर विकल्प है जो अपने फोन से सब कुछ निचोड़ना चाहते हैं। लेकिन अधिकांश उपयोगकर्ता ब्लोट मुक्त, विज्ञापन के बिना, अपने फोन पर एक साफ अनुभव पसंद करते हैं। फिर भी स्मार्टफोन आज के समय में ज़्यदातर सिर्फ कॉलिंग, चैट, सर्फिंग, मूल फोटोग्राफी और बाद में विशिष्ट ऐप्स के लिए मूल उद्देश्य को हल करता है।
नोकिया 6 एंड्रॉइड 7.0 ऑफर करता है, जबकि रेडमी नोट 4 एंड्रॉइड 6.0 से लोड है, जिसे जल्द ही उन्नत करने का वादा किया गया है।

ऑफ़लाइन स्टोर बनाम ऑनलाइन फ्लैश बिक्री

जब हम रेडमी फोन के बिक्री मॉडल के बारे में बात करते हैं, तो केवल एक चीज जिससे सभी को नफरत है वह है ‘फ्लैश सेल बिक्री’ है आपको पूरे महीने या एक हफ्ते तक 1 मिनट (यह 1 सेकंड के रूप में कहना ज्यादा सही है) बिक्री की प्रतीक्षा करनी है। आप अपने लिए या किसी और के लिए फोन खरीदने की सोच रहे हैं, आप बिना किस्मत के इसे आसानी से नहीं खरीद सकते। अगर आप रेडमी फोन खरीदने के लिए अंतिम क्षण में हैं तो अपना विचार छोड़ दें हालांकि, रेडमी ने धीरे-धीरे अपने स्टोर्स को शुरू करके से इस अंतर को भरना शुरू कर दिया। आप कुछ अतिरिक्त शुल्क के साथ कुछ मॉडल भी बुक कर सकते हैं। लेकिन यह वास्तव में सही नहीं होगा यदि आप एक ही फोन के लिए 1k 0r 2k का भुगतान कर रहे हैं जबकि वो ऑनलाइन सस्ता उपलब्ध हो।

बिक्री मॉडल के साथ नोकिया के लिए एक और जीत है, उन्होंने 3 और 5 के लिए ऑफ़लाइन मॉडल और नोकिया के लिए सिर्फ ऑनलाइन दोनों का विकल्प चुना है। नोकिया ने अपने फोन को बेचने के लिए भारत में 400 वितरकों और 80,000 स्टोर के साथ करार किया है। इसका मतलब है कि आप आसानी से रेडमी की तुलना में नोकिया फोन प्राप्त कर सकते हैं।
भारत में, अधिकांश लोग फोन को देख कर खरीदना पसंद करते हैं और फिर भी दूर-दराज के क्षेत्रों में ऑनलाइन उपलब्धता एक गंभीर मुद्दा है। खुदरा स्टोर से खरीदना ज्यादा सुखद लगता है अगर आप ऑनलाइन शॉपिंग पसंद नहीं करते हैं

अंतिम फैसला : आपकी पसंद

नोकिया और रेडमी दोनों ही फ़ोनों का निर्माण और डिज़ाइन अपने आप में उत्कृष्ट है | रेडमी नोट 4 उन लोगों के लिए है, जो कम पैसे में उच्च हार्डवेयर और डिज़ाइन चाहते हैं।
इसके अलावा, यदि आपके पास 15  हजार के आसपास बजट है और आप एक विश्वसनीय ब्रांड और लम्बे समय के लिए टिकाऊ और ठोस फोन के साथ जाना चाहते हैं तो आप नोकिया 6 पर विचार कर सकते हैं। इसकी ठोस बिल्ड गुणवत्ता और स्टॉक एंड्रॉइड अनुभव आपको निराश नहीं होने देंगे।

Redmi revolution

Now, let’s talk about another strong contender to NOKIA which has shaken smartphone market with its motto of ‘Value for money’ and superb design and specifications.  Yes, you thought it right, we are talking about none other than Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi or known as MI. In past few years, MI proved itself with groundbreaking prices of their feature loaded smartphones.

Mi reached $1 billion in annual revenue in India for the first time.

Redmi Note 4 has conquered the budget smartphone category. However, after the arrival of NOKIA phones, NOKIA 6 give stiff competition to Redmi Note 4. But the price difference is a great factor between these two.

Budget phones can also look premium NOKIA vs Redmi which is best in design

Redmi broke the myth that mid range phones can’t look premium. Design appeal in Redmi phones has been upgraded drastically with the use of metal body. The Redmi Note 4 comes with a full-metal body with polished antenna lines at the back alongside 2.5D glass at the front for better in-hand feel. The smartphone looks sleek and is built very well.

On the other hand, the Nokia 6 designed with a philosophy of nostalgia. NOKIA managed to make it premium with integrity from seamless precision-milled aluminium, Corning Gorilla Glass display.

Before the arrival of NOKIA phones, it was Redmi that changed the game of design. Most of mid-range phones felt like plastic toys for kids. But Redmi Note 4 managed to bring sleek and solid built to impress everyone.

Selecting between these two phones depends upon personal preference as both phones come with premium design and stable built quality. Redmi Note 4 brings design little inspired from Apple and NOKIA 6 feels classic with LUMIA- like looks.

Nokia vs Redmi Specs sheet and hardware

Top variant of Redmi Note 4 comes with Snapdragon 625 processor, 4 GB RAM, 506 GPU, 64 GB internal storage and 41000 mah battery. On the other hand, NOKIA 6 comes with Snapdragon 430 processor, 3 GB RAM (4 GB in Black edition), 505 GPU, 32 GB internal storage and 3000 battery.

Specs of NOKIA 6 might look down on paper in front of Redmi Note 4 and could change your mind. But high specs never considered for high performance. Actual performance of a smartphone is borrowed from the balance between hardware and software.

NOKIA vs Redmi stock or custom skinned Android experience

With optimised software and stock Android, NOKIA 6 performs flawlessly for the whole day even with low specs. It offers bloatware free, adware free stock experience of Android. NOKIA 6 handles everything smoothly in the field of software experience. You won’t need to struggle to find each and every settings and customisation. NOKIA also promises timely Android updates and security patches for users which are really a great advantage.

If we talk about Redmi Note 4, it is highly skinned and customised to offer various extra features which you would get from installing various apps. Redmi offers custom Dual apps, Second space, Inbuilt virus Security, Battery manager, cleaner, app permissions, call blacklist and lot more. If you want to customise each and every aspect of your phone you would at least need 10-20 apps from Google play store. You can’t ignore these precious features inbuilt into Redmi Note 4 but all these come at a cost of RAM utilisation. Most of the time you will get 2 GB free out of 4 GB RAM.

Redmi Note 4 is still ahead of NOKIA 6 as it is a better option for gamers and who want to squeeze everything from their phone. But the majority of users prefer Bloat free, ad free, a smooth experience on their phone. Still, smartphones solve the basic purpose of calling, chatting, surfing, basic photography and later to the specific apps.

NOKIA 6 offers Android 7.0 out of the box while Redmi Note 4 comes preloaded with one-year-old Android 6.0 which is promised to be upgraded soon. Timely OS updates and security releases are a ‘must have’ requirement over latest smartphones.

Offline brick mortar store vs Online flash sales

When we talk about sales model for Redmi phones, one and the only thing which all hate is their ‘flash sales’ model. You need to wait for the whole month or a week for 1 minute (say it as 1 second) sale. You are thinking to buy a phone for yourself or for someone else, you can’t buy it easily without a luck. Drop your idea if you are in last moment for buying Redmi phones. Though, Redmi slowly filling this gap by introducing their brick mortar stores. You can also pre-book few models with some extra charges. But it will really hurt if you are paying 1k 0r 2k for same phone available cheaply online.

Another win for the NOKIA with their sales model is they have opted both offline models for 3 & 5 and exclusive online for NOKIA 6. Nokia has tied up with 400 distributors and 80,000 stores across India to sell their phones. It means you can easily get your hands on over NOKIA phones comparative to Redmi series.

In India, most of the people prefer to purchase phone physically and still online availability is a great issue in remote areas. Buying from retail stores can give pleasant feeling if you are not fond of online shopping.

Final Verdict : It’s all your choice Nokia vs Redmi.

Both the phones from NOKIA and Redmi are solid phones considering their build and design. Both have their pros and cons and aims to different customers. Redmi Note 4 is aimed for those who don’t want to compromise on specifications and value for money.

Moreover, if you have a high budget and want to go with brand and nostalgia factor you can consider NOKIA 6. Its solid build quality and stock Android experience won’t let you down. The assurance of a trusted brand adds to its appeal.

Redmi 4 Unboxing and first look

We got the Black color variant with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. As soon as you open box and take phone in hand, you would realise how phone looks so premium and unique in design. In the box, you will get charger, data cable, sim ejector pin and manual. Redmi 4 has completely changed the myth that you can’t get a premium looking smartphone under a budget of Rs 10,000.

The new Redmi 4 is encased in a beautiful metal frame that is made of anodised aluminium. The back enclosure has gone through a diamond cutting process that produces two bright strips, giving an additional brilliant sparkle to the entire phone. The 5 inch almost edge to edge display looks really impressive and produces excellent colors. With 2.5D curved glass, phone feels really smooth when you type or swipe fingers across the screen. The fingerprint is placed exactly where it was meant to be placed. At the back you will get 13 Mp camera with flash placed at top left. Charging slot is present in between speaker grill at below. Audio production is pleasant to hear and audible in most of conditions.

Redmi 4 fits comfortably in your palm and you never feel to stretch while accessing all areas of the screen. Though device feels a little bit slippery and you need to keep extra attention if you don’t place any safety cover to it. Navigation buttons at below are non-illuminated and you need to struggle a little bit in beginning.

Let’s talk about phone performance under normal usage. Snapdragon 435 processor handles every app smoothly and generates balanced multitasking performance. You can notice free 1.5 GB RAM most of the time with normal usage of apps. The display is really really crisp and colors, icons, text are produced flawlessly. If you ever used Redmi Note 4, you can notice the difference, everything looks more pleasant than its elder in Redmi 4. Phone is packed with 4100 mah battery which is a beast for any 5 inch phone. Redmi 4 runs smoothly for the whole day without any sign of low battery under heavy usage of Wifi or 4G LTE network.

Installed with Android 6.0.1 and MIUI, Redmi 4 outperforms on it software part. You get Dual apps, second space, security, app permission, call blacklist and other important features under one roof without any need of third party apps. This is a huge advantage for any beginners as you might struggle to choose right app with trial and error method. Intensive games with good graphics also run comfortably if you keep background usage of RAM low. You can tune the behaviour of apps through control or permission system.

Also read: 30 days with Redmi Note 4 Matte Black, 4GB edition, MIUI detailed review

13 MP camera in Redmi 4 performs perfect in good lighting conditions but produces low photographs in low light conditions. 5 MP front cam works great with some embedded software filters. All in all, camera performance is perfect for normal usage but you can’t consider it for great looking panorama or macro shots. You may need some time to adjust with its focus locking feature as it takes few seconds to lock objects in a frame.

You can either choose to insert two sims or one memory card as you got hybrid slots. This is a common feature in Redmi phones, this may sound disappointing to those who store large files on the phone for a long time.

FINAL VERDICT- Should I buy Redmi 4?

Redmi 4 proved with its design and performance that you don’t need to shell heavy amount for a premium looking device. If you are looking for a phone with a balanced performance and budget, you can grab it without thinking further. But, what can stop you from having your hands on Redmi 4 is its much hated Flash sales.  You really need to have the patience to get it from 1-second flash sales. Further, Xiaomi also expanding its offline stores and starting offline booking for Redmi 4 and Note 4.

30 days with Redmi Note 4 Matte Black, 4GB edition, MIUI detailed review

Redmi note 4 matte black

Redmi note 4 matte black

Redmi Note 4 stands as a strong contender with all competitors. Xiaomi is known for its ‘Value for money’ products and successfully proves it with ‘Redmi Note 4’. Here, we unboxed and enjoyed 30 days with Redmi Note 4 Matte Black, 4GB edition. Let’s discuss our detailed opinion about each and every aspect from customer’s view.

Redmi Note 3, also saw success with a whopping 2.3 million units sold just in six months of its sale.

Design and Durability

Redmi Note 4 Matte Black edition surely impresses you with its premium looks and design and gives enough competition to other brands in a segment of 10K to 30K. Unibody metal design attracts your attention when you either keep the smartphone facing back on a table or took in hands. Antenna lines on top and bottom at back adds beautiful art to design. Rounded edges and speaker grill under bottom not only upgrades design values but also physically increases stability and enhances sound level. Placement of dual tone flash between the camera lens and fingerprint sensor at back with same geometric design adds a custom design to the smartphone.

Battery performance

4100 mah really performs long more than you could expect. Redmi Note 4 with a full day of heavy usage easily lasts long for a day. I didn’t regret fast charging as one complete charge cycle easily gives you full day backup. I played a lot of heavy games, switched from Wifi to 4G networks, a lot of calls but didn’t found any sign of low battery. Redmi Note 4 easily provides 2 days of usage if you are using for light purposes such as normal data usage and taking few calls. Redmi Note 4 never heated while gaming or 4G usage. Slight change in temperature you might feel in fewer conditions which are rare.

How cool is processor

Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 64-bit Processor performs more than expectations,  didn’t faced any lag while using multiple apps or apps running in the background. Though processor has been degraded from Redmi Note 3 but the slight improvement has resulted in more stable performance and battery saving. Playing heavy games like Asphalt 8 or Modern Combat, I never faced any lag or stuck in between.

 Shooting experience

Clicking experience on Redmi Note 4 has been improved considering its old generation model Redmi Note 3. Rear 13 MP camera shoots some nice photographs in daylight or sufficient source of light. The camera performed well but a slight difference in colour reproduction is noted in few shots. Auto focus takes some time to assign itself to the centre of subject. If this could be reduced, there will be a vast difference in performance. Macro shots were fine but still not up to the mark and require few tweaking. Front 5 MP camera impresses with some nice selfie pictures and adds some virtual brightness which improves pictures a lot.  Videos are recorded at 1920 X 1080 Full HD which are crisp enough to show on all displays.

Let’s talk about good things first, MIUI 8 provides tonnes of helpful features that can’t be achieved even by installing a lot of third party apps on a stock Android OS.

Dual apps: Do the two

Redmi Note 4 Dual apps

Redmi Note 4 Dual apps

‘Dual apps’ is such an amazing feature available in Note 4. It allows you to use two different accounts of an app on a single device. Suppose you need two different accounts for an instant chat messenger app or social media app. You can directly tap into another account just with a click flawlessly. You can get ‘Dual apps’ for almost all apps installed on the device.

Second Space: Another phone in a phone

Redmi Note 4 Second space

Redmi Note 4 Second space

‘Second Space’ on Redmi Note 4, completely creates a virtual secondary environment which allows you to use it as a private space separated from your normal user account. You can customise it as ‘Personal’ phone as comparing to another one as ‘Professional’. It allows you to use a different Google Account and you can utilise everything independent of first professional space.

Security and Permissions

Redmi Note 4 Security and Permissions

Redmi Note 4 Security and Permissions

Redmi Note 4 offers various Security and Permission controls that directly offers more precise control and secured device experience. You might need to download third party apps for specific tasks, but here you can have all in one roof. ‘Cleaner’ functions automatically detects cache, unwanted data on phone and provides one-touch cleaning mechanism. It also prompts over shortcut bar if unwanted data needs to be cleaned.

App by app data utilisation can be tracked by ‘Data Usage’ feature. Unwanted calls can also be blocked easily by inbuilt ‘Blocklist’ feature. Battery health and usage pattern being recorded in ‘Battery’ tab where you can know about temperature and remaining battery. Here you can also save battery by a lot of tweaking. You can set time of app sync and schedule Start and End time.

The virus scanner is provided by Avast, a well-known antivirus provider. It automatically detects suspicious items and warns about same. Scanner auto scans your phone from time to time.

Providing app-specific permissions can be done at ‘Permissions’ tab. Every app needs specific permissions related to hardware or software

The best thing I loved about MIUI is ‘Automated tasks’. It allows creating a lot of automatic tasks for your phone. Suppose you are not using from 11 pm to 6 am or you just don’t want to get disturbed. You can easily create task defining whether to keep the phone on Airplane mode or Silent mode. It not only allows you to sleep uninterrupted but also saves your battery. You can also check your connection speed anytime which shows which apps are consuming data at the moment. Test Network as the name suggests tests your WiFi and mobile data network.

If you ever wanted to lock certain apps on your phone you might just download locking app from Play store full of ads but MIUI already includes much stronger ‘App lock’ options which support all modes of protection including fingerprint, passcode or pattern.

Overall MIUI directly improves functionality and upgrades user experience and let you get rid of third party apps for each and every small task. But, RAM consumption also increases in the background. When you switch on phone for the first time, you are presented with 2 GB of free RAM out of 4 GB. Unfortunately, after long usage, I find RAM consumption increases up to 3 GB and a restart is required. Although, the performance never feels degraded even with less remaining memory.

Final Verdict

Redmi Note 4, stands clearly out of the crowd, just not only for its performance but also due to price factor and different variant available starting from Rs 9,999. You can pick any variant from 2 GB, 3GB or 4 GB with 32 GB and 64 GB memory options. If you are looking for a smartphone with decent shooting experience and full day battery backup with premium looks, you can definitely give a chance to Redmi Note 4
