Xiaomi has announced the successor of the hugely popular Redmi Note 3 dubbed Redmi Note 4 in China. Similar to its predecessor, the Redmi Note 4 sports metal unibody design but now it has chamfered edges and 2.5D glass on the front. The phone is also slimmer than  Redmi Note 3 at 8.35mm (vs 8.7mm), and lighter at 175g (vs 164g).

The Redmi Note 4 features 5.5-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) 2.5D curved glass display and is powered by 2.1GHz deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 processor backed by Mali T880 MP4 GPU. It will be offered in two variants – 2GB RAM/ 16GB storage and 3GB RAM/ 64GB storage. The storage is expandable via microSD card.

For photography, the Redmi Note 4 gets 13-megapixel unit at the back with PDAF, dual-tone LED flash and f/2.0 aperture, while on the front there's 5-megapixel 85-degree wide-angle shooter for capturing selfies.

Connectivity duties are handled  by hybrid dual-SIM slots, 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2 and GPS + GLONASS. It runs Android Marshmallow based MIUI 8 and has a fingerprint scanner on the back. A beefy 4100mAh battery keeps the device running.

By comparison with Redmi Note 3, nothing much has changed with the Redmi Note 4 with the exception of processor and main camera. The Redmi Note 3 featured Helio X10 SoC (China)/Snapdragon 650 SoC (India), 32GB storage for top model and 16MP rear camera.

The 2GB RAM/ 16GB storage variant of Redmi Note 4 is priced at CNY 899 ($135 | Rs. 9,000), while the 3GB RAM/ 64GB storage variant is priced CNY 1199 ($180 | Rs. 12,000).

There is no word on global availability, but we can expect the Redmi Note 4 to land in India in the near future, given the success of Redmi Note 3.
