But at the same time it is able to offer the owner a lot of pleasant opportunities, especially considering its price tag.

Xiaomi Redmi 4 X - is, above all, the ability to choose a phone that fully corresponds to personal preferences. The device is offered in several variants of memory and storage, as well as in pink, gold, black.

Important! In the latter case, the smartphone is painted in one color completely. The names of the same gold and pink describe the design of the back cover. The front panel in these two versions - white.

Design and ergonomics

Unlike its counterparts, to know the phone Xiaomi Redmi 4 X by one look at the front panel - it is simply unrealistic. The device seemed to deliberately make some kind of resident spy in the world of mobile gadgets.It is, if I may say so, to the front - just no, gray nondescript mouse.

All recognizable features are located in the back cover area. The camera is moved to the upper left corner, a single-diode flash is planted almost close to the lens. The fingerprint scanner is also significantly raised and is located as close as possible to the plastic insert above the antenna unit. This design of the back cover definitely makes the Redmi 4 X smartphone not only recognizable, but also convenient. For example, Difficulties with the use of fingerprint scanner will not arise almost no one owner of this device.

The rest of the design features are expected and familiar. The rounded corners of the screen, 2.5D glass, neat bevels of the faces - to some extent, the design may seem deliberately minimalist and average. On the edges are located:

• in the upper part of the right volume control, power button;
• in the upper left part of the SIM card cover;
• at the upper end of the IR port window, the noise-canceling microphone hole, the port of switching on wired devices (3.5 minijack);
• on the bottom there is a grille, behind which are placed the speakers and a microphone, in the center there is a port for connecting a charging adapter (USB Type B format, microUSB).

Important! Another prominent feature of the front panel - frankly budget design. Of the bright parts here, only the LED of the missed events. At the bottom buttons, more precisely, the sensory zones, the backlight is completely absent.

Dimensions Redmi 4 X allow easily hold the device in hand. The product will fit in any palm. According to customer reviews, the phone's case is rather graceful, does not slip, the smartphone is comfortable and concise.

Screen

The price tag, which is put up on Xiaomi Redmi 4 X, does not imply the installation of a screen with record characteristics. There are relatively inconspicuous 1280x720 pixels, which corresponds to HD standard. Also, do not count on the maximum detail of the images - the density of 294 ppi obviously does not pull on the record.

In the rest - the display is quite good.

1. The color gamut overlaps the standard RGB technical area.
2. Personal color temperature adjustments are available (warm, cold, exact value).
3. The sharpness level at the middle mark is 1: 560.
4. Adjusting the backlight brightness allows you to change the rate from 1 to 472 cd per square meter.

According to customer reviews,The light sensor in the model shows the reaction speed and a fairly high sensitivity; the Hiaomi Redmi 4 X smartphone will allow you to easily distinguish the information on the display in the daytime.

Important! According to the characteristics collected by the users, the considered phone model is supplied to the domestic market with two matrices from different manufacturers. The EBBG product shows a natural gamut and excellent color gamut. The matrix from Boe - has colder shades and the displaced displayed palette.

It is impossible not to include in the review Xiaomi Redmi 4 X a separate feature of the display model. In the bright sun, despite the operational response of the light sensor - the colors turn sharply pale, it becomes harder to distinguish the text. However, as mentioned above, the price of the Redmi 4 X does not make you hope for the ideal screen settings.

Hardware platform

Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 (MSM8940) - A processor capable of providing excellent performance of the operating system of a smartphone. Paired with a graphics accelerator not of the top generation itself, the central processor gives the user a really fast drawing, almost instantaneous reactions to actions in programs.

Features Xiaomi Redmi 4 X strongly form an affordable level of freedom for the owner.

1. Model with 2 GB of RAM - these are fast reactions of the operating system, high-quality rendering. But even undemanding games can have difficulty with the available amount of memory. Similar difficulties may arise when running a group of applications at the same time.
2. Version with 3 GB of RAM - the ideal choice if you want to get the best value for money. The phone is unlikely to experience a lack of memory. However, it is not worthwhile to abuse, launching several games simultaneously.

Tip! Those interested in the maximum can buy the top version of the Redmi 4 X with 4 GB of RAM. But this does not mean that the phone will show the best results in benchmarks. On the hardware platform, simple arcade and casual games are available. But applications with high demands, such as tanks, will have to be configured for a long time to get acceptable comfort.

There is a hardware platform Redmi 4 X undoubted positive qualities. There are very high-speed handlers for satellite orientation and mobile Internet. The modem is able to select almost the entire channel offered by the provider. And the speed of searching for satellites is beyond praise.The same can be said about tracking accuracy - the smartphone confidently builds a track with minimal distance deltas even when walking.

Separately, users mark good call quality. The smartphone holds the network where other devices pass. However, it is safe to say that this applies to all products - it is impossible, there is little data.

Autonomy

The battery is a definite plus, which Redmi 4 X owners note. For the applied hardware platform, its capacity is more than enough for comfortable use of the device. The manufacturer’s stated data states: a smartphone can work in talk mode up to 36 hours, while listening to music - up to 87 hours. Conducted synthetic tests confirm that the phone does demonstrate impressive autonomy.

Important! The test with the help of PCMark software shows that when the processor is fully loaded, the display is constantly working with a brightness of 200 cd per square meter, the Redmi 4 X stays confidently for over 12 hours. In this case, at the end of the test, the battery charge level is kept at 5%.

You can charge the battery with any standard adapter that has a microUSB interface (Type B). The control system supports high current mode - up to 2A.However, a smartphone can not offer more: no charge fast, the recovery time of the battery capacity depends on the power adapter.

Cameras

The state budget Redmi 4 X shows all the typical flaws inherent in cameras of devices of this brand: both the main and rear cameras are good only in bright light. The first one is capable of leveling flaws with the help of a flash, which will be useful in indoor and portrait shooting.

To the credit of Redmy 4 X it is worth noting: there are very high-quality sensors. Therefore, under shooting conditions close to the ideal, the pictures are colorful, sharp and juicy. The main camera has a Samsung sensor, front - Omnivizhn.

But the system of program processing, especially aggressive noise reduction, does not allow to get high-quality photos and videos when the lighting falls. In such conditions, sharpness drops sharply, the color range narrows, in some cases - Grit is manifested.

Should I buy

Today Redmi 4 X is a fairly developed and reliable device. In the first months of the model’s release, the operating system suffered from localization deficiencies; some menu items and sections were not translated into Russian. Today, this disadvantage is completely eliminated.

Redmi 4 X fully justifies its price tag. Underlined inconspicuousness, the grayness of the image shows the conformity of the budget series model. But at the same time - inconspicuous Redmy 4 X offers a very serious set of advantages. Among them, the absence of any problems with the operation of the operating system and user programs, a good screen for its price tag, smooth rendering and speed of reactions to the actions of the owner. But especially good indicators of autonomy.
