Today, Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi launched its affordable Redmi 4 smartphone in India. The all-new Xiaomi Redmi 4 is launched to replace the popular Redmi 3S (and Redmi 3S Prime) as their successor.

The differences between the Redmi 3S Prime and the Redmi 4 are mostly cosmetic. The new phone has slimmer, tapered edges and a cleaner, more contemporary design. The speaker has been moved from the back to the bottom of the phone and the metal and aluminum meet in cleaner anodized high-gloss aluminum lines.
