14 DAY TRIAL // After introducing its own Surge S1 chipset and the Mi 5C smartphone, Xiaomi called it a day with yet another smartphone-related announcement. A new budget-friendly smartphone, the Redmi 4X will soon be available for purchase in China, and possibly other markets where Xiaomi is present.
According to Xiaomi, its new Redmi 4X smartphone will go on sale as early as next month. Customers will be able to pick this one up in Cherry Pink, Champagne Gold, and Matte Black. It will cost as low as $100 for the 16GB, but the 32GB will be available for $130.
Considering the phone's retail price, it's a wonder that some features have been added under its hood. First off, it offers LTE support for speeds of up to 300Mbps download and 100Mbps upload.
The smartphone even packs a 1.4GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor, coupled with an Adreno 505 graphics processing unit and either 2GB or 3GB of RAM.
As mentioned earlier, the Redmi 4X comes in different versions based on the amount of memory, so you can choose between the 16GB and 32GB models.
The good news is the smartphone offers the option to further expand memory via microSD card. In the camera department, the Redmi 4X doesn't disappoint either, as Xiaomi added a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash and autofocus, as well as a secondary 5-megapixel selfie camera in the front.
More importantly, Xiaomi Redmi 4X sports a 5-inch display that supports HD (720p) resolution. Other highlights of the phone include dual-SIM support, VoLTE, as well as a huge 4,100 mAh battery, which should provide at least a couple of days on average use.
Xiaomi Redmi 4X will be officially introduced in China soon, but the company did not offer details on the phone's availability in other countries.
We believe there's a chance the Redmi 4X will be launched in India where Xiaomi previously released some of its budget-friendly smartphones.
