Xiaomi on Monday launched the Redmi Note and Redmi Note 4G phablets in India. The Xiaomi Redmi Note
is priced at Rs. 8,999 and will be sold through the company's online
retail partner Flipkart in India. Flash sale registrations will start
from November 25 at 6pm IST, and the first sale will happen on December
2, similar to way the Xiaomi Mi 3 and Redmi 1S have been sold so far.
On the other hand, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G will be sold by Filpkart as well as at 100 Airtel
exclusive stores in six cities - Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad,
Kolkata, and Mumbai - but its launch is slated for the second half of
December. Even though it will be available at physical stores, consumers
will need to register on Airtel's website in advance and only those who
win invitations from the company will be able to pick one up in person.Xiaomi says that the 4G variant is specifically made for India, and it supports FDD LTE band 3 and TDD LTE band 40.
Both the Redmi Note and Redmi Note 4G look the same, and there is no difference whatsoever from the outside. Upfront, both smartphones feature 5.5-inch HD (720x1280-pixel) IPS LCD displays with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Notably, Xiaomi offers the Redmi Note in some regions without protective glass.
Both smartphones feature 13-megapixel rear autofocus cameras with LED flash, and 5-megapixel front-facing cameras. We tested the rear camera in different lighting conditions and the results appeared quite decent, though sometime we felt the images were slightly oversaturated. The cameras use Samsung sensors, and overall seem to be at par with several affordable phones with the same camera specifications, but we will reserve our final verdict for after the full review.
