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.

MIUI, Good or Bad

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

‘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

  • Redmi Note 4 comes with a stunning new look with 2.5D curved glass and slimmer, tapered edges. Complete with a bevelled frame and glossy separation lines. The gentle 2.5D curves soften the edges of the Redmi Note 4 display, adding to the clean, minimal aesthetic. Made of anodised aluminium in a premium high-gloss CNC finish, the elegant separation lines adds beauty to Redmi Note 4. It is also slimmer than  Moto G5 Plus. Redmi Note 4 has a display of 5.5 inches slightly larger than Moto G4 Plus with the same resolution.

Operating System and UI

  • Moto G series, known for its stock android experience, doesn’t disappoint stock OS lovers and brings same experience over Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. Though basic apps for flash and camera control are preloaded. Stock OS has an added advantage over custom skins of other manufacturers. It also keeps RAM management smooth and enhances device performance. You may need third party apps according to your interest for enhancements like security, cleaner, file manager etc.
  • Redmi Note 4 on the other hand, has custom UI skin called MIUI 8 based on Android marshmallow 6.0. Meanwhile, Android 7.0 is in pipeline for users which will be available to all in short span of time. Note 4 packs lot of usable apps in MIUI which has the custom launcher and display experience.

Redmi Note 4 also packs security, cleaner, file manager, music, video apps to seamlessly enjoy multimedia experience.

Camera and video recording experience

  • The 12 MP rear camera in Moto G5 Plus with dual Autofocus Pixels, focuses 60% faster. You can also switch to the wide-angle front camera for group selfies. It has 1.7 aperture with colour balancing dual LED flash. 8X digital zoom for photos and 4X zoom for videos. Autofocus and quick capture allows you to shoot faster and precisely which is a bit slower in Redmi note 4. You can tap anywhere to capture photos. Moto G5 also packs Professional Mode for manual adjustments for better images.
  • Burst mode, Auto HDR, Panorama, Video stabilisation are some best features which make Moto G5 stand apart from Note 4 in the photography section. Videos are recorded at 1080p HD (30 fps) and also have an option of slow motion video. The front camera is 5 MP pixel with wide angle lens and 2.2 aperture with display flash in which screens flashes to simulate led flash. Beautification mode is also available for selfie enhancement.
  • Redmi Note 4 has Backside illumination (BSI) technology for capturing photos,  With 1.12μm pixels and Ultra-fast 0.1s PDAF technology, Note 4 takes comfortable pictures in daylight.  f/2.0 aperture and 5-piece lens make it able to record 720p 120fps slow-motion videos.
    It has got a 5MP front camera with 2.0 aperture to take selfies with Smart and Pro Beautify features which enhance facial tones. Face recognition and 1080p full HD video recording is available on Redmi Note 4.
    It struggles to autofocus and takes some time, while in manual focus mode, a lot of patience and calculation is required to have desired results. Colour re-production is quite comfortable in normal daylight but it fails to capture results in low light environment.

Battery and charging time

  •  Moto G5 Play, claims to have an all-day battery with 3000 mAh. Charges up fast and get up to 6 hours of battery life in just 15 minutes.  15W TurboPower charger is available for up to 6 hours of power in 15 minutes of charging.  3000 mAh is quite low in terms of heavy usage or gaming. But with turbo-charging, you can overcome this issue.
  • In Redmi Note 4, lithium-ion polymer battery of 4100mAh with 5V/2A charging is available which gives enough juice for whole day heavy usage including surfing and gaming. Here, Redmi Note 4 perfectly rules over Moto G5 Plus.

RAM and storage up gradation

  • Moto G5 Play comes in two models, 16 GB & 3 GB RAM  / 32 GB & 4 GB RAM, up to 128 GB microSD Card support.
  • Redmi Note 4 is available in 3 combinations of 2GB + 32GB, 3GB + 32GB, 4GB + 64GB up to 128 GB microSD Card support.

Variants and Colours availability

  • Moto G5  Play available in Lunar Gray or Fine Gold
  • Redmi Note 4 is available in special Black, Gold, Dark grey

Cost factor and availability

  • One thing that makes both smartphones differ is their different price factor. Redmi Note 4, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage model available at Rs 12999. While, Moto G5, 4 GB RAM and 32 storage is only available and will cost you Rs 16,999.
  • Redmi Note 4, 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage model available at Rs 10,999 and offering you another cheaper version of 2 GB RAM and 32 storage at Rs 9,999
  • Availability factor of both these phones also matters a lot, as Redmi Note 4 is right now available through flash sales on every Wednesday, but slowly expanding offline retail sales in major cities. Moto G5 Play can be grabbed directly from online channel allowing you to buy easily.

Final verdict

If you want to save extra bucks, and looking for value for money, Redmi Note 4 stands out as a strong contender. Due to availability in three different variants, it fits in everyone one’s hand. Strong battery backup and slim metallic design make it stand apart from Moto G5 Plus. Flash sales and low availability of Note 4 may make you depressed to get your hands on. But expansion in offline retail sales model of Note 4 will reduce this factor. Redmi Note 4 slightly hurts photography experience as the camera on Note 4, couldn’t perform well in low light conditions. You can also use various apps supporting 360 Photosphere, allowing you to take Google Street view style photographs.

If you are in love with stock Android experience and looking for a better photography experience, you can choose Moto G5 plus. Though you need to shell out extra bucks for a 32 GB variant. Build quality of Moto phones will be an important factor here as earlier model G4 failed to impress with its build quality and had some major issues with display and camera lens, reported over social site. Moto really needs to improve its quality and after sales support to hold its position in smartphone market as it directly competes with its parent company Lenovo.
