Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G Launched With Android 4.4 KitKat and Snapdragon 400

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G With Android 4.4 KitKat and Snapdragon 400 Launched. Xiaomi has launched the 4G-LTE variant of its 5.5-inch phablet, the Redmi Note, in China. It's been priced at CNY 999 (approximately Rs. 9,900).

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G has single-SIM support and runs on Android 4.4 KitKat with the MIUI v5 skin on top. It features a similar 5.5-inch (720x1280 pixels) IPS-LCD display just like the existing Redmi Note.

The new Redmi Note 4G runs on a quad-core 1.6GHz Snapdragon 400 CPU coupled with the 2GB of RAM, instead of the 1.7GHz octa-core MediaTek MTK6592 SoC of the 3G-only variant.

The new variant also sports the same 13-megapixel rear autofocus camera with LED flash, as well as a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera. The Redmi Note 4G comes with 8GB of built-in storage along with microSD card expandability (up to 64GB).

Connectivity options on the Redmi Note 4G include China-specific TDD-LTE support (1900/ 2300 / 2600MHz) along with GPRS/ EDGE, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, Micro-USB with OTG, and GPS/ A-GPS. Notably, the LTE-bands mentioned are not supported in all countries. The Redmi Note 4G features a 3100mAh battery.

Last month, along with the Xiaomi Mi 3 flagship launch in India, the Chinese smartphone and tablet manufacturer had launched the Redmi Note and Redmi 1S in India, priced at Rs. 9,999 and Rs. 6,999 respectively.

As for availability, both smartphones by Xiaomi were said to be 'coming soon' to the Indian market, with the Redmi 1S scheduled for an early August arrival, and Redmi Note for a late August entry into the Indian market.

The dual-SIM (Micro-SIM) Xiaomi Redmi 1S features a 4.7-inch (720x1280 pixel) IPS-LCD display with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protection. It runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with MIUI v5 skinned on top, and has no mention of an Android 4.4 KitKat upgrade.

Nokia Lumia 1320 Price in India is Rs. 20,369

Nokia Lumia 1320 has come with 6-inch display; 5 MP camera; Windows Phone 8; 1.7GHz dualcore processor; 1GB RAM; 8GB internal storage, expandable memory card slot, Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth; 3400 mAh battery.

Nokia has never compromised on the design and hardware quality. It continues to have the finest hardware that feels sturdy to hold. The Nokia 1320 takes it advance with its sixinch display packed in bright colours.

The three traditional Windows keys for back, home (Windows) and search are positioned smartly below the display. It has curved edges with essential controls on side edges. The back is spotless with the camera at the top. At 220 grams, it does weigh a lot and the size makes it difficult to slide it in the pocket or use with one hand. But the size eliminates the need to buy a tablet separately.

The 1320 costs almost half of the Lumia 1520, but Nokia has scaled down the specifications. Instead of a quad-core processor, the 1320 gets a 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor. The 1GB RAM seems good enough and the pre-installed Internet Explorer 10 is fast. It comes loaded with some good apps including Microsoft Office. I had to configure a Windows account to install more apps. While the number of apps is growing, it is far behind Apple and Google app stores.

The device has a 5MP camera with a simple interface that doesn't offer a world of PureView settings. The images were pretty good during daylight but lack clarity at night. The 1320 packs in a big battery that manages to survive over a day.
