As expected, Xiaomi on last Friday launched three Redmi models; Redmi 4, Redmi 4A and Redmi 4 Prime. The phones were released at an event in Beijing, China.
All Redmi phones have premium metal builds, though, Redmi 4 and Redmi 4 Prime both have the same identical unibody design along with 2.5D curved glass displays, hybrid dual-SIM slots, and a fingerprint sensor on the rear panel. However, there are differences when it comes to display resolution, memory, processor, and inbuilt storage. Both smartphones run MIUI 8 based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and will be available in Gold, Grey, and Silver colour variants.
Following are the details and specifications of these three latest releases:

It has a 5-inch 720p display with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage and uses a 13-megapixel camera module. It’s powered by Snapdragon 425 and has a 3,120 mAh battery.
The killer point, of course, is the price, which stands at just $74. If it was avaialble globally, it would be the best entry level phone money can buy considering the superior build quality and very good specs.

Xiaomi Redmi 4
The new Redmi 4, being the Standard Edition, does not feel too unfamiliar. In fact, in terms of specifications, not much has changed from the Redmi 3. Redmi 4 has copied most of the features including the 5-inch 720p screen and has the same configuration, which includes 2GB of RAM with 16GB of internal storage. Similar to its predecessor Redmi phone. The camera however is upgraded and uses a different 13-megapixel Phase Detection Autofocus sensor module and a 4,100 mAh battery.
The processor is different too. Instead of Snapdragon 616, Xiaomi has opted for Snapdragon 430 which may not be as powerful but is more battery efficient. The design has been altered to include an always on fingerprint scanner at the back while the refined metal design makes it look like a premium offering several times its actual price. The phone costs just $104, which is remarkable considering the build.
